Being a Louisiana native, Captain Champ Klein was introduced to bayous, ponds, and rivers at a young age, and his love for the water has only grown since then. He has lived in Florida for almost thirty years and specializes in introducing beginners and experienced anglers to famous Gulf of Mexico's grass flats and nearby inshore areas — as well as the species that thrive there!
You'll be cruising these locations on a 20' Island Bay Sportsman. She can comfortably accommodate two anglers plus the captain and her size makes her perfect for sneaking up on Flounder and Seatrout. She comes fully decked out with all the necessary navigational and safety equipment.

Your captain is more than happy to guide you on this popular Floridian-style easter egg hunt and snorkeling equipment is even included to help you spot your scallops. Just make sure you let him know that you want to give it a go when booking your trip!

The captain was very attentive and nice. He answered all questions and was understanding with the heat wave that came when we were out on the boat.
It’s always a pleasure to be part of a Birthday celebration, Thank you Capt. Champ
Bite was very slow and we knew that going into it. Champ put us on the fish. Manage to catch a grand slam plus some.
It was at great trip with the Texas boys, the trip didn’t even seem like work for me because we had so much fun. Thanks, Captain Champ
Great day on the water with Captain Champ!! It was our 1st time scalloping!! We had a great time!! We will definitely be back!! If you're looking for a great Captain, who knows all of the spots, and makes sure all of his guests have a great time- give Salty tails a try!! Champ is great!!
It was an amazing time with this family! Everyone was laughing and smiling the whole time beautiful family! Thank y’all so very much scalloping with me.
Capt. Champ was awesome. Had a great time. He assisted with everything. Baited my wife’s hook constantly. Loved that. Also, Capt Champ told us some history of the area and the names of certain areas along the shoreline. It was a good day all around. Thanks Capt. Champ
Had a great time with these amazing people and Gary had a big redfish that broke his line, but still manage to catch a small one first redfish doesn’t matter what size!!
I have been on a half dozen or so chartered/guided fishing trips. This was the best one I've ever been on. Fishing Captain Champ made me feel like I was fishing with a friend who was taking me to their coveted fishing spots and wanted me to catch fish. Equipment was all top notch and well maintained, he was was very knowledgeable and friendly. When we are back in the area I will be booking with salty tails again for sure.
I really enjoy fishing with y'all and Love it when you caught that beautiful redfish. Thanks again Capt.Champ

Your captain
Perry, Florida, United States
Being a Louisiana Cajun Boy and from a family that loves the outdoors as much as I do, I was introduced to the outdoors at a very young age. I was blessed with the opportunity to move and live in Florida in '89. I have fished in Louisiana bayous, ponds, and rivers, as well as the Gulf Mexico. I've even caught Crawfish in ditches! I've also fished in Florida on the Atlantic side, St. Johns River and the Gulf of Mexico grass flats. My name is Captain Champ Klein and I cannot wait to share a piece of Keaton Beach Florida paradise with you and your family. So come on down for a morning or evening trip and make memories that will last a lifetime!
