I booked a 10 hour fishing trip on TellnTails for my son’s 16th birthday, and it was awesome!  We had perfect weather all day and Captain David Carr and his deckhand Chilton could not have been better.  David puts you on the fish and Chilton works really hard to make sure you maximize your fishing time.  We especially appreciated how Chilton clearly explained everything we needed to know about the fishing gear and how to use it.  With all of their knowledge and experience (and the longer day of fishing), we were able to try different fishing techniques, which resulted in catching a lot of fish and a wide variety of fish species.  Trying to remember them all, and in no particular order, we caught a king mackerel, a gag grouper, a huge black snapper (29”), a triple tail (released, too small), an amberjack (released, just barely too small, but man did it put up a fight!), over a dozen mahi, lots of vermillion snapper, lots of white snapper, red snapper (released, out of season), and lots of big triggerfish (released, out of season).  My son also reeled in an 8-9’ shark, which was released when it go up to the boat.  One of the highlights of the day was when we lucked into the school of mahi on our way back in.  We got to cast spoons for them and it was really cool to watch them chase the lures.  They are incredibly beautiful fish and really fast.  If you are looking to have the best opportunity to catch fish and have a great time doing it, look no further.  You’ve found your boat.

Being here right after Hurricane Sally, the waters were a little rough. With that being said, Captain David took us straight to fish and Chilton kept us catching. They made it a great day. The boat was set up great for several people to fish. By far one of the best fishing trips we have taken. We will definitely be going out with them again

We had an excellent day on the water. Despite having to cut it short due to the weather, David and Chilton took really good care of us. They were both friendly, patient and knowledgable. My family had never been out before and the guys explained everything very well. At the end of the trip, Chilton had our fish cleaned and ready in a hurry. We are so pleased and cannot wait to return! We highly recommend this crew!

My son and I had an amazing trip.  We met up early and were on the boat and into the bay in no time flat.  Captain Dave and Chilton were top-notch hosts and taught us all about the type of fish / fishing, the surrounding area and Gaston / Nole football. We ended up with a big haul and could not have been happier with the trip.  Tonight we dined on fresh caught King Mackerel.  We definitely recommend it.

Was a great day out with the Telln’Tails crew. Chilton was Great with people especially with the Kids! He also runs the deck efficiently! Dave keep us on the fish and kept us there, cheering us on even though the seas were confused and double the forecast. They had us limited out on red snapper in no time!  Well done guys and thanks for the fun time. Keep it up! Hope to see y’all again!
