We are catching plenty of nice grouper and hogfish right now. We are also taking advantage of the spring migration of Spanish and king mackerel. Plenty of big bites and good eats!

What an unforgettable experience!! We had so much fun and caught so many fish with Captain George- I’m also pretty sure he might actually be a fish whisperer! He was so personable and accommodating. We have fallen in love with this area and can’t wait to come back next year- and you can bet that we will definitely be booking another fishing trip! Thanks for the memories, Captain George!!

Tyson had us on fish in less than 20 minutes. He taught us his method and, following as best we could, landed big redfish, snook, catfish, and even a tarpon! His experience, expertise, and sense of humor made this trip something that exceeded our dreams! Thank you Tyson!

Captain George will do anything and everything he can to put you on the fish. My 3 boys and I had a great time and highly recommend.

Tyson is the real deal. He put me on fish quickly and if I want such a terrible angler I am sure I would’ve caught more lol. What an amazing experience and I would go with Titan again in a heartbeat. He was a wealth of knowledge and I’m thankful he was willing to show me the area. Unfortunately, he ruined me from ever wanting to freshwater fish after a great day in the shallows. I couldn’t have asked for a more chill captain that knew the waterways like the back of his hand. He has earned my business the next time I’m anywhere near Clearwater/Tampa. What a great day.
