What does your dream fishing trip look like? How about exploring the wild, wonderful coastline of Keaton Beach, Florida, and its bounty of Redfish, Cobia, and more? Maybe scooping up lots of scallops? Salty Tails Charters can’t wait to share this slice of paradise with you!
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.
Capt. Champ believes that fishing is for everyone and his charter is child-friendly. Looking for the perfect family adventure? Why not try scalloping? 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!
Salty Tails Charters provides top-quality Penn equipment, as well as Topwater baits and lures to entice your big catch. Water and sodas are provided.
Whether you’re looking to try some flats fishing in a picture-perfect setting or want to haul in as many scallops as you can possibly handle, Salty Tails Charter has the perfect trip for you! Your dream adventure is waiting.
