About
The Captain
Fishing has always been Tyler’s passion and has been his full time job for the last 6 years. In 2010 at the age of 21 Tyler joined Captain Chris Phillips at Hot Spots Charters and started his guiding career. With his vast personal knowledge of the area and guidance from other captains he became one of the top guides in the Pensacola area.
Along with the other Hot Spots Charters captains you can find Captain Tyler the first Monday of each month at Flounders located on Pensacola Beach discussing different fishing topics at the Hook Line and Sinker Seminar Series.




The Boat
Captain Tyler Massey runs fishing charters in the Pensacola Beach area out of a 23 foot Ranger Bay powered by a 300HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine. Ranger is known to make one of the most solid hulls in the bay boat market. With plenty of space for your friends and family the 23 Ranger is a shallow enough boat to fish flats and docks for redfish and solid enough to jump offshore into the Gulf of Mexico to bottom fish for red snapper and other species. Using his Lowrance GPS and bottom finger to get to the fish and his Minn Kota iPilot trollin motor t0 keep you on the fish all throughout the day. Captain Tyler’s Ranger Bay has plenty of space to hold your catch in the large fish boxes and p;enty of space in onboard coolers for your food and drink for the day.
