About Your Trip

Step aboard Captain Tyson's sleek 18’ Floyd skiff and get ready for an unforgettable day sight fishing the pristine flats of Clearwater! With over 20 years of local experience, Captain Tyson knows these waters like the back of his hand and will put you on the fish in no time.

This trip is all about stalking Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon in crystal-clear shallows. Whether you’re casting artificial lures, tossing live bait, or working a fly rod from the casting platform, get ready for heart-pounding hookups as you spot your target before making the perfect cast. The thrill of watching a Redfish tailing in the grass or a Snook ambushing your lure near the mangroves is something you’ll never forget!

Fly anglers will love the challenge of sight casting to laid-up Tarpon or cruising Snook, while light tackle enthusiasts can cover water quickly and get in on the action with topwater plugs or soft plastics. Captain Tyson’s top-notch rods, reels, and tackle are provided, so you can focus on the fishing.

Your ride for the day is a 2022 Floyd 18' skiff, built for shallow water stealth and equipped with a 90 HP Suzuki engine. The raised casting platform offers a clear vantage point for spotting fish, and the onboard cooler will keep your drinks chilled while you chase trophies. There’s plenty of storage for your gear, and you’re welcome to bring your favorite snacks and drinks—just keep it to cans, no glass please.

This trip is perfect for anglers of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned pros. Captain Tyson is patient, knowledgeable, and always ready to share his expertise, making sure everyone on board has an incredible time on the water.

So grab your shades, lucky hat, and favorite canned beverage—let’s hit the flats and make some memories with Captain Tyson!

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 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!
