Not only did we get on some great fish—catching snook and keeper redfish—we also spotted dolphins and manatees. Chris is super knowledgeable, patient with teaching you how to fish, and goes the extra mile by cleaning your fish for you afterward. We can't wait to book again!"

I went out with my grandpa, and it was such a great experience that we will both remember for a long time. Chris was wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a great time out on the water. We caught plenty of redfish and snook, and couldn’t have asked for a better day! It was such a special experience getting to enjoy this with my grandpa. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter, I highly recommend Chris and Epic Tails Charters. We will definitely be back!

He explained to us what he had in mind for our trip, and made it happen. We got to catch some nice fish and saw a lot of wildlife. The kids loved getting to see manatees. Overall, Captain Chris gave us an epic day. We will definitely be booking another trip.

Took my pop out since he was down visiting and we even found a small gag hanging out on the inshore rocks. Got started nice and early and had beautiful weather for the trip. Can’t wait to do it again.
