If you're looking for a charter that can offer you excellent fishing with a flexible service that you can customize to your liking, look no further than Tell'ntails Charters. It will take you fishing in the bountiful Gulf of Mexico for a variety of exciting species!

Captain Ryan invites you to join him aboard their 31' Island Hopper express cruiser. She's a spacious vessel, able to hold up to 6 anglers fishing with ample elbow room to move around. She's fully equipped with the latest safety gear, as well as state-of-the-art navigation and fishfinding systems. You'll get to your fishing grounds quickly and waste no time locating your prey!

With Capt. Ryan, you'll go out into the Gulf and start battling the gorgeous fish there. The boat is equipped with downriggers to extend your reach when trolling for Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, or Sailfish. For anglers who enjoy a calmer approach, bottom fishing for tasty Red Snapper is available, as well as targeting several species of Grouper. Other species can be fished too, like the Mahi Mahi, False Albacore, or Hammerhead Shark (catch and release only).

You'll be supplied with all equipment you may need on these trips. The first mate is on board to give you a hand with anything you need. He works for tips, so gratuity is greatly appreciated (15-20% is customary). You can customize the trips to your liking, contact the captain before arriving to work out the details. The minimum age for children is 3 years old.

Ready for some reel-screaming action in the stunning Gulf of Mexico with a professional crew? If the answer is yes, book a trip with Tell'ntails Charters and embark on an exciting fishing adventure!

3 Hour SpringBreak Trip on May 27, 20254 adults
We went out on the spring spring for 3 hours. The first mate that his name started with a J. Possibly Jason or Jonathon. Either way he worked his ass off. The captain kept us on the fish the whole time! There were 4 of us and we were tired from reeling fish in. We didn't go out beyond the bay and only caught Spanish mackerel and other fish their size. Doesn't matter. That's what we were looking for and the captain and mate delivered. Thank you and we would go back out with them again!

Glorious Day Out
6 hr Trip - 6:00 AM on April 26, 20251 adult
I had the pleasure of spending the day with Capt Dave and Justin, once we established I just like to fish and don't really care what we catch it was game on. From our catch and release program, lol, we sent a ton of Snapper and Amberjack back in to live another day, caught the weeks record of king fish and I can absolutely say Im having to dictate this review as I can't move my arms today, lol. There were lots of laughs and good fishing done. Id highly recommend TellnTales, and will be back again!!
