Caught a couple dozen grouper and snapper. Accidentally caught a massive sea turtle but our captain very gently released it. Saw a massive hammerhead shark we had no interest in catching, but we did try to snag some barracuda. They were too tricky for us. They would but the bait in half but wouldn’t touch the hook. Followed us around for hours to see if they could get some more snacks but we only had two of the bait fish they preferred. Tried for a while to pull some cobia onboard but they would quickly dart into the artificial reef and cut the line. Overall beautiful day and successful trip. Thanks for everything.

Great experience. Captain Tyler really made our day for our two sons, one 20 and one 11. Boat and equipment were awesome. We got underway fast and were getting bites right away. First stop was a reef when I hooked a pretty big fish. It decided it did not want to be caught today and I lost it. My youngest had asked about catching a pork fish since we had been fishing them are dock at Marco Island and we ended up catching the biggest one Captain Tyler had seen, off to Spanish Mackerel fishing where we got 5. Just cooked them up and they were great. Finished the trip off with Shark fishing. My oldest had a 6’ hammer head who spit the bait just when he was getting to the boat. After the hammer head we got a Blacktip shark that my oldest fought for 30 minutes and got him to the boat. Great memories and would highly recommend Smokin hooks and Captain Tyler.

Great day on the water! Weather was perfect and our captain put us on the fish! Had a wonderful day with my wife and kids catching fish every place we stopped, even a copia and a Goliath grouper. Also saw lots of sea turtles and even a couple dolphins which was unexpected and exciting! A wonderful day and can’t wait to return! Thanks again!!!
Thanks again for coming till next time tight lines
