Captain
Tyler Barton

Member since May 2022 Belleair Bluffs, United States
Background
Capt. Tyler is a Florida native who has been fishing the Clearwater and Tampa Bay Area for 2 decades. He has always loved the outdoors and anything involving it, including hunting and fishing. The captain started being a guide to share his passion for catching fish with others.
Techniques
In this area, live bait is the most successful way to get the job done. Capt. Tyler does a lot of live chumming to get that fish happy and fired up. He does offer artificial trips and a little bit of fly fishing as well. All 3 techniques will catch any inshore species, live bait just outperforms everything.
