About Your Guide

Tyler S.

Independent Guide

Captain Tyler was born and raised in South Florida into a fishing family. From an early age Captain Tyler was on the water fishing, from the fresh waters of the Everglades to offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. With years of experience honing his skills and with a love of wild things and distant places Captain Tyler made the decision early on to spend his professional life on the water.

Captain Tyler began his professional journey by commercial fishing. Commercial fishermen make exception fishing guides as commercial fishing requires the ability to catch fish every day under every conceivable weather and water condition year-round. Commercial fishermen are the most versatile anglers on the planet and must command mastery of multiple skills for success. A perfect foundation for guiding.

Captain Tyler is equally at home fishing well offshore however his true passion is shallow-water light tackle angling. Making the move to the backcountry was a stellar transition earmarked by a steady stream of banner days and outstanding catches. Captain Tyler’s experience and vast knowledge of our immense backcountry waters and fishery aside, Captain Tyler is a “people person” blessed with an easy-going, jovial, personality. Captain Tyler enjoys aggressively pursuing the most elusive sport fish and predator species of our remote and distant waters but with a soft spot for family fishing adventures that result in “memories of a lifetime”. Few guides equal Captain Tyler’s enthusiastic energy and work ethic while keeping his anglers the number one priority.

Had an all day adventure with Capt Tyler today and it did not disappoint! Started off the day with a big Jack and I lost a tarpon too. Caught fish all day long and capped it off with 5 bonefish to finish up. I will book with Tyler again!

Added bonus, he's pretty dang funny!
