About Your Trip

Get ready for an incredible day on the water with Captain Kyler as you explore the scenic and fish-filled Indian River Lagoon, just off Florida’s beautiful east coast. Whether you're an experienced angler or brand new to fishing, Captain Kyler’s expertise and passion for the sport will make this trip one to remember. Launching from Melbourne, FL, you’ll have the chance to reel in some of Florida’s most sought-after inshore gamefish while enjoying the pristine surroundings of this renowned fishing destination.

You’ll fish aboard Captain Kyler’s 20’ Pathfinder bay boat, which is perfect for navigating the shallow waters of the Indian River Lagoon. Powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and equipped with modern GPS and fishfinding technology, this boat ensures you'll get to the fish quickly and efficiently. The boat also features a wireless trolling motor for stealthy approaches, a livewell to keep your bait fresh, and an ice box to keep your drinks cool and your catch ready for cleaning. With space for up to 3 anglers, this is the perfect setup for a more intimate fishing experience, ideal for solo anglers, small groups, or a fun family outing.

Once on the water, you’ll have the opportunity to target a variety of inshore species that call the Indian River Lagoon home. Cast your lines around mangroves, docks, and other structures to entice hard-fighting species like Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Black Drum. The lagoon offers fantastic fishing year-round, and Captain Kyler will help you choose the best techniques and spots based on the time of year and conditions. If you're hoping to take home something for dinner, species like Mangrove Snapper and Sheepshead (in season) are your best bet—just let Captain Kyler know, and he’ll work to tailor the trip to your goals.

Captain Kyler makes everything easy by providing all the essentials, including fishing licenses, rods, tackle, and bait. He’ll even clean and prepare your catch at the end of the trip. All you need to do is bring your food, drinks, and weather-appropriate clothing. Sunscreen, a hat, and a rain jacket are recommended to keep you comfortable throughout the day. Don’t worry about a cooler—Captain Kyler’s got you covered with ice and storage for anything you want to bring along.

With a flexible departure time to ensure you’re fishing at the best times of the day, and an option to bring the kids along for a fun family outing, Captain Kyler’s fishing charter offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Come for the fish, stay for the memories—book your trip with Captain Kyler and experience the magic of Florida’s inshore fishing firsthand!
