Tall Tails Charters is currently unable to accept reservations on FishingBooker. But don't worry we've found some great alternatives for you nearby.

Come and experience some of the best fishing available on the Emerald Coast with Captain Glen Whipkins aboard the Tall Tails. Whether you are seeking a relaxing day on the water with family and friends or a hardcore, testosterone-fueled fishing adventure, Tall Tails Charters can deliver!

Captain Glen, a US Navy veteran, was an experienced freshwater fishing guide and tournament angler before he fell in love with saltwater fishing. Rest assured he will strive to make your saltwater fishing experience as fun and exciting as possible.

His roomy 31’ Cape Horn center console offers a smooth ride, while twin 300 HP Yamaha 4 stroke outboards will get you to the fishing grounds fast. Garmin electronics allow you to find lots of great fishing spots and increase your chances of catching fish.

There’s always plenty to do on the Gulf Coast. On shorter trips, you can either go trolling for Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, and more or bottom fishing for Grouper and Snapper.

All the necessary fishing gear will be provided on board. This is a family-friendly charter, and even have a flush toilet (very important if you plan on bringing wives and daughters). At the end of the day, Capt. Glen wants everyone to have their own Tall Tail to tell!

Captain Glen Whipkins is a former Bass fishing guide and tournament angler. He began fishing at a very young age, catching his very first fish when he was 5. Since then, he's got more than half a century of angling experience under his belt. Once he got into the world of saltwater fishing, he was positively hooked. He even moved to Florida so he could fish all the time.
