Been wanting to take my sons, son in law and grandson on a fishing outing they would never forget.  Today was that day.  Captain Terry and First Mate extraordinaire Allen made that day a reality.  We were asked what type of fishing we were looking for and it was troll, catch we could cook and a real battle for them to experience.  Trolling we got a number of little tuna and mackerel, then off a bit and we hooked up with dorados/ mahi mahi, did a bit of bottom fishing with a catch of tasty vermillion snapper and capped that off with a great battle with a lemon shark.  All their asks were met today.  Captain Terry was great about keeping us in the fish and Allen did an amazing job with the boys explaining the set ups, how to handle the hook up and moving about keeping everyone attended to.  Both the gents were fantastic and we will be back to head out with Captain Terry and First Mate Allen.  You won’t be disappointed!

Excellent successful trip with Capt Tyler and first mate Allen.  The boat is immaculate and well cared for. The AC in the cabin was much appreciated.  We had the option to buy bait or take an hour to catch bait.  We purchased which gave us more fishing time. It paid off with a limit of red snappers about 3 hours into our trip (12 fish).  We also caught some triggers, and a few other assorted fish. The highlight of the day was 2 sharks, one 7ft bull another sand shark of about the same size. Both gave quite a fight which made for a memorable experience.  In addition to bottom fishing we trolled a couple hours but without much luck (one small albacore tuna).  First mate Allen was great to coach us on best practices and kept our hooks baited well.  All in, it was a great day!

Went fishing with these guys Captain Tyler and 1st Mate Allen on June 23rd, 2023. Man, What a blast Caught some King Macks and Bonita while trolling out to the bottom-fishing structure where we hammered the Red Snapper and Groupers consistently on a few different stops. Also, we landed a Mahi Mahi (Dolphin-fish) While running the open water. So cool! These guys know how to fish and where to fish!
After limiting on Red Snapper…it was time to try and land an 8-10 ft Bull Shark. We gave it our best go but were unable to get the shark to the surface before it cut the 400 lb mono leader with it’s teeth. So fun!!!  Then, we trolled back to Destin a bit and upon arriving in the shallow aqua waters. Captain Tyler and Allen spotted another beast of a Bull shark and decided to throw another line at this one. This 8-10 ft Bull also was able to cut off before surfacing but the fight was a thrill of a lifetime.
If you want to have an awesome time finding, hooking, fighting and landing fish…give Always Tight Charters a try. Like the Captain said…he’s gonna give you everything he’s got to make sure you have a great time out on the water.
