Welcome to TightLine Charters!

I, Captain John Wiley, invite you to come and experience some of the best inshore fishing the State of Florida has to offer. I grew up fishing the waters of NorthwestFlorida and can tell you it offers a wide range of exciting fishing for all anglers. From trout and redfish in the bays and back waters, to tarpon and cobia off the beaches, every day on the local waters offers something for everyone! The safety and well being of my customers comes first and foremost. I am a United States Coast Guard licensed Captain and fully insured. Please contact me for booking information or any questions.

Thanks & Tightlines!

The Vessel!

My customers fish comfortably out of a Yellowfin 17 Skiff powered by a Yamaha 90 h.p. motor. It is a light weight technical poling skiff that offers unbelievable shallow water performance. Fish can't hide in even the shallowest of waters from this machine as she only drafts about 1 foot of water and will run where larger bay boats cannnot. Some features on the boat include trim tabs, power pole, hydraulic jack plate, motorguide 80lb trolling motor, stiffy push pole, garmin electronics and more. There is plenty of storage space for gear and tackle and the fishing platform is perfect for spin casting as well as fly fishing.
