Highly recommend booking a day with Tyler. He had us on fish all day, hit multiple spots and caught a bunch of different fish. On our 3rd spot, he let me get my bass fishing addiction play out by ripping jigs for mackerel and sea trout, kids were getting into them nearly every cast. We had a couple of kids, 5 & 8, on the boat, Capt was patient and helpful with them, very much appreciated and made the trip memorable for the four of us. Will definitely be coming back to S. FL with Born and Raised!!

Captain Tyler was amazing. We did a 6 hour nearshore trip and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Tyler had us on the fish every time we stoped at a spot.  We caught over 50 fish during our trip. We even landed a Goliath grouper. He was very knowledgeable about the fish and very patient with my youngest son. We couldn’t have had a better captain for our trip. I highly recommend Captain Tyler and will certainly book with him again next time we are in town. Thanks again Captain!

Cold and a full moon is not the best time for fish.  Capt. Tyler tried over a half-dozen spots, but there were no keepers on this day.  Lots of tiny fish and even some odd ones (squirrel fish and lizard fish??) but a great experience.  Hightly recommended.

We booked the trip while in Marco Island on spring break.  We chose this guide for the 5 star rating and, received a 5 star experience.  Tyler is honest, laid back and was great with the kids.  He called prior to trip to let us know fishing wouldn’t be great due to the weather and asked if we wanted to reschedule.  Due to our limited time here, we kept the tour and adjusted a bit to include a “scenic” boat ride with a shelling stop.  At the end, we did catch about 10 fish including... More

Tyler made it fun for our family even though the fishing wasn’t very fruitful.  He’s definitely knowledgeable and a true local so he knows where to go.  We’ll definitely try this again.  Thanks.
