have now been 3 times with my son and some college friends and we have caught lots of snook on every trip including one of the biggest trophy snook I have seen. On two of the three trips, we caught over 30 snook!

Capt. Kyle is a great guy and guide and very patient with kids. We will be back.”

Get on the boat with Captain Kyle and catch yourself a Tarpon! What an awesome trip!!
Both Capt. Kyle and first mate Joey were very cool guys to hang out with. We had great conversation on the boat and they made the whole charter enjoyable, even on the down time. Kyle was always sharing his knowledge about Tarpon fishing which added to the experience, too. I highly recommend Native Sport Fishing.
Thanks again for helping me catch my first Tarpon! I’ll let you know when we will be back!

My son and I, who are used to fishing for Pike and Bass in Ohio and Michigan, came down to Saint Pete’s for Summer Vacation. We knew we wanted to fish for Tarpon and our worries about the season/heat quickly disappeared when Captain Kyle’s knowledge and dedication took over. As a local native with the know how, he found those fish! By the end of the morning we were sore arms and smiles after having landed our “fish of a lifetime.” Captain Kyle’s laid back/friendly demeanor and incredible knowledge of the local waters made the trip that much more enjoyable. Thanks again Captain Kyle!!!!!

I have done three trips with Capt Kyle and have had great success every time. Kyle is extremely experienced and it’s clear he truly knows how to tap in to all types of fishing opportunities.

I’ve done trips with just me targeting snook and redfish plus a very fun trip with my wife and young daughter landing them each their first snook followed by “action fishing” for mackerel and later sharks.

Capt Kyle knows where to be and how to maximize your fishing experience at each spot. I would recommend Native Sportfishing and will be booking trips in the future.

My 6 year old and I just had the best experience with Captain Kyle! My little guy loves to fish, but i was a little worried because it was a very cold weekend in Tampa/Clearwater. It didn’t matter, Captain Kyle had us on the fish NONSTOP our entire day. My little guy had the time of his life, caught many species including, rays and shark. Saw tons of manatee and dolphin all around. Just an AWESOME time and I look forward to having Captain Kyle put us on the fish as much as possible as my little guy grows up!”

Fishing with Capt Kyle was awesome today, wish we would have had more time. Caught a bunch of Spanish Mackerel, and some nice big Reds. Had a nice snook snap the line as well, but that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. I would highly recommend fishing with Capt Kyle on your next trip. He will definitely put you on some fish. Can’t wait till we come back again for our next trip.

Captain Kyle and Joe were amazing! Our son caught his first tarpon with them today and it was the best day of his vacation! They were so patient and awesome at explaining
what exactly to do when the fish were on! Would 100% recommend and will be back again!

Captain Kyle will give YOU the experience you want.. for the first timers he will bait and cast for you and all you have to do is reel those babies in to the boat and smile with them squiggling in front of you… to the pros who are looking for some sport/trophy photos… this is the charter captain for you! His equipment & boat are top notch.. really comfortable and zippy. Snook, red fish.. and even a 60 pound ray … In fact my husband had to go out and buy the rig that he supplied to us on the boat we liked it so much. The captain has lived his life on the bays and coves of St. Pete.. he will sniff the fish out for you. It’s always an exciting day on the water with Kyle. Two years in a row we have booked with him and we can’t wait to do it again… Hey tell him Mo says Hi… maybe he’ll give us a deal next year;)”
