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.

Did a nice job trying to get us on fish. Hustled his rear off. Seemed a bit overwhelming having 4 on the boat who had never fished the flats before and several being relative novices for just 1 crew member. As a result about 1/3 the time 1-2 of our party weren’t fishing as we could have been. He was working hard though … much appreciated! Would highly recommend a 2nd crew member when...

Would highly recommend a 2nd crew member when there are inexperienced people it will be a tight fit though but think it would improve the experience.
Tyson was nice, polite, knowledgeable and very patient thanks for the experience. Would highly recommend especially if you’ve done this type of fishing before.
Thanks Tyson!
