About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Tyler for an awesome inshore experience fishing around Tampa Bay and Clearwater Florida. This area has an abundance of different fish species and several different ways to target them. You have Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Pompano, Permit, Cobia, and Black Drum just to name a few, and Captain Tyler knows how to catch 'em all!

To hook into these fish, you will mostly be sight fishing the inshore bays, flats, and even backcountry river systems around the Clearwater-St. Pete area. There is nothing more rewarding than spotting your quarry, stalking your quarry, and making a perfect cast onto an unsuspecting fish. The rush of the hook set after that is an experience you won't soon forget.

Captain Tyler is especially adept at teaching new fishermen these techniques so whether you're a seasoned veteran looking for your next trophy or a beginner looking to learn the ropes, Captain Tyler will work his hardest to make sure you have the best possible experience out on the water!

Everything for your trip is included, but you're more than welcome to bring any of your own gear if you like. Otherwise, alls you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, and Captain Tyler will take care of the rest!
