Captain Dylan is your go-to guide, bringing a lifetime of local fishing experience to the table. Whether you're a seasoned angler or discovering your love for fishing, Captain Dylan is here to make sure your time on the water is packed with excitement, memories, and some seriously good catches.

Throughout the year, these waters offer up a buffet of popular game fish. You might connect with Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, Pompano, Mangrove Snapper, and a few surprise visitors along the way! Each season has its stars, and Captain Dylan can help you target the best fish for the time of year. Some species have specific harvest rules — just ask, and he'll guide you on what’s legal.

Your day on the water could involve trolling or bottom fishing, depending on the bite. Whether you're working light tackle for inshore action or going heavier to bring in something bigger, Captain Dylan has the gear ready. You’re welcome to keep a few of your catches if they meet local regulations. Even better, your captain will clean your fish for you! Bring a cooler because there’s nothing better than fresh-caught fillets waiting for your next meal.

You'll be riding aboard a 22’ Bay boat, perfectly suited for both inshore and nearshore adventures. The vessel fits up to 4 passengers and is loaded with everything you need — rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included. Live bait is available upon request. If you want the full experience, Captain Dylan can even show you how to catch your own bait before heading to the main action!
