Was our first fishing trip on the gulf and won’t be our last with Captain Ty.we caught all kinds of fish and had a blast.Would highly recommend Flats Monster

It was a great experience.  Tyson is so calm and provided great coaching for my 10 and 8 year old.  We had a great time and made a lot of memories.

Just a fantastic morning with my 11 year daughter.  We set out early, and in the first hour we had bluefish, trout, redfish and several snook, including the monster in the picture.  Much bigger than anything I’ve caught before.

Plenty more fish after that, a non-stop couple of hours and then Tyson moved us on whenever things slowed down.  Finished up with two keeper reds (plus more returned above and below the slot), more snook and some beautiful trout, including a great catch for my daughter.  The reds were great in the pan for dinner!

Tyson was fantastic throughout, a really nice guy who obviously knows what he’s doing.  Professional, efficient, and patient with some amateur moments from me!  He runs a comfortable boat and he has an obvious commitment to making each trip a success..

Highly highly recommended. Thanks again Tyson!

My daughter and I had a great morning fishing with Captain Tyson - Flats Monster! This was our first time inshore/nearshore fishing and it was a blast. Tyson arranged to meet a little earlier than normal due to the early bite - and sure glad he did. Had a big snook on on the first cast and lights-out fishing at day break. He worked hard to keep us on the fish when the bite slowed down later in the morning, and when the bite went away we had a blast spot fishing and catching some fun-fighting triple tails. Captain Tyson was everything you want in a guide - effective, friendly, and fun to be around! I always love it when the guide gets as excited as you when big fish are on the line - shows that they love what they do! Hope to be back fishing with Flats Monster on our next trip.

I highly recommend Flats Monster.  Our family spent a 3/4 day with Captain Tyson on the flats around Tampa and had an awesome day fishing.  He worked hard to not only put us on a good variety of nice fish, but made it fun and interesting.  I think he was excited as us when we landed 3 great size redfish. They were too big to legally keep… no complaints here about that! 

Tyson went out of his way to make sure all of us had a great time and tailored the trip to our interests… from having fly fishing gear ready for our son to searching for manatees for our daughter.  Looking forward to another trip with him!
