4 of us from Michigan wanted to do some inshore fishing… Figured it would be a bit calmer, as we had on newbie fisherman on the trip… Booked Indigenous Charters/Capt.Tyler by his review scores on Fishing Booker & his price. I picked the right guy!! Tyler is thoroughly skilled at catching fish! Puts you on the action you want.. always there helping, guiding instructing and laughing his ass off at you.. as we were laughing at ourselves…especially as I caught 3 Pelicans..LOL You’ll be glad to know Tyler was very courteous and kind to the pelicans getting them un-hooked !! We caught Snook, Redfish, Sheepshead & Jacks the inshore Tuna. Lots of fun…!
6 hrs of action on a Beautiful day!!
Can’t beat it… I highly recommend Tyler & Indigenous Charters!!
Thanks Again Tyler !!

Captain Tyler gave my daughter, my uncle and me a great morning on the Florida waters. His boat and set up are perfect for this location. He altered our trip to fit the tides and took us to several keys spots to hook up with what was there. Although a slow day fishing we still caught several species of fish. Uncle Jim will enjoy a fresh meal of sheep’s head in the pan tonight. My teenage daughter, the only one who didn’t need a jacket today, enjoyed catching the mangrove snapper, watching the dolphin swim around us and “playing” with the pelicans!  It’s always good to see a teenager smile! She may not have been in biology class today but the lessons she learned today were “text book”  from Indigenous Charters. Thanks Captain Tyler for a great trip!

My nephew and I spent a great ¾ day with Captain Tyler.  He asked us what we were looking for - sport or food, and we said both - he delivered.  After we quickly picked up some sheepshead for dinner that night, Captain Tyler took us to four different spot in pursuit of red fish and snook both of which we caught and had a great time reeling in.  The Skipper’s angling skills were apparent as he targeted fish to hook and then traded reels with us.  He was dogged in his pursuit and we greatly appreciated his efforts.  We recommend him and will call on him again.

Indigenous Charters fully encompasses the meaning of the word indigenous . The knowledge that Tyler brought about the area, locations, species of fish, how to catch and what to use is exceptional. when you are some place unfamiliar you always ask the local people for information. Tyler is that person for fishing Southwest Florida waters.

We came to Tyler as a family with mixed experiences levels of fishing and Tyler was able to meet us on all levels. We asked for a mix of fish and some species that we could keep for dinner. He put us on to fish immediately and everyone in the boat where catching fish. We were pulling in fish from every size and species. We brought in a bunch of Sheep’s head, squirrel fish, red snapper, mangrove snapper, yellow tail snapper, trigger, flounder, triple tail, red fish and snook. Even though we had a very large cold front come through a couple of days before that shut down red fish and snook, Tyler was able to put us on them and catch.

Tyler knows the area and the timing of what to fish when. Because of this we were able to fish all day and never once feel like we where standing still and not catching fish. Again; his knowledge of the area was entertaining and enlightening.

Tyler’s equipment was very fitting for us and his boat was well kept and stocked for our day out on the water. All of us have not stopped talking about the trip and what great memories we have and will have In the future. We have and will recommend Indigenous Charters and Tyler to everyone who asks.

Thank you Tyler from Brian, Drew, Butch, Deb and Mike. You have made memories for our family that we will never forget.

Arrived to a ready to a captain with plenty of bait ready for the day.  Whatever you want to catch he will put you on them.  Started for snook and redfish, catching over 15 in the first few hours.  Tyler is knowledgeable and laid back in his Captain role.  It is very fun to go on a charter with a captain as enthusiastic and excited as Tyler is.  Highly recommend booking with cpt.
