Southern Fried Charters welcomes you aboard for a day of great fishing with true Southern hospitality. The goal is to get you reeling in as many fish as possible and to have a great time doing so. Spend the day targeting Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and the many seasonal visitors to the waters around Palm Coast, FL.

During your trip, you will be fishing the local inlets, intracoastal waterways, and flats in search of the biggest and best fish around. In order to get the most out of the area, you will need a vessel that is able to get deep into the skinny waters where the best fish love to lurk.

Captain's 20' Sundance skiff is the perfect tool for the job. No waters are too shallow for this flat-bottomed boat, and with a cruising speed of 30 knots, no waters are too far away either. The vessel is equipped with GPS, fishfinder, and quality light tackle. There is also a livewell full of bait and a selection of lifelike lures if that is more your style.

All trips come with tackle, bait, lures, and licenses, as well as a cleaning and filleting service for all your catch. All you need to bring is your sunscreen, your favorite snacks, and your biggest cooler. The captain will make sure you fill it!

    Awesome Fishing Trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 25, 2026 • 3 adults

    Fantastic trip with Captain Chris! Ladyfish jumping out of the water, pompano, sheephead, catfish, jacks, even caught a crab. I am sure I am forgetting a species or two. Absolutely recommend Chris. Two thumbs up.

    Great Time with Capt. Chris!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 1, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Caught some snapper, flounder, black drum, catfish and hooked up on some bonnetheads before they cut the line. Captain Chris was great with my son, had some good tunes on and some good conversation while catching fish.

    Slow day

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 14, 2023 • 4 adults

    Not the captain’s fault that it was a little slow, but would have hoped to hop around to more spots a little quicker than the time we spent not catching much. Captain was very friendly and knowledgeable. We still got a keeper flounder and had a nice time on the water.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I grew up in Nashville, TN, before it was cool. As a small kid, we fished every pond and creek within 20 miles of my house, often by horseback. Certainly, it was different times, but my passion for finding fish never changed. Then it was Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Rainbow and Brown Trout, along with Crappie and Catfish. As a teenager, I fished on a boat called Honey Chile in Sarasota/Longboat Key, FL. It was there I learned the pursuit of 'big fish.' I knew then when I was old enough, I'd be heading to FL to live and fish. I always wanted to be a professional fisherman and, in the mid 90's began tournament fishing for Kingfish. The adventure took on a life of its own, and by 2012 I started hosting the Southern Sportsman Radio Show in Flagler County and did so for 8 years. Fishing and being a guide is my life, and the real reason I do it, and love it, is to be a special part of other people's memories with family and friends.

    What a fun day fishing Palm Coast Florida with with little Stella and parents. She was very proud to bait her own hook and wanted to climb in the fishing tower.... that was a no. Ha. The bite died at about 9:30 after some fun lady fish, a few nice mangrove snapper, several short sheepshead and some jacks. Fun morning anyway even though the chew was off.

    I had such fun taking these folks out. This gal caught her first fish on artificial and was very surprised. Palm Coast fishing in Florida is a mixed bag of cooler fish and fun fish. Today we had a bag of Mangrove snapper. sea trout, black drum. sheep head , and chased a few tarpon to no avail . I think the fish tacos will be delicious .

    Had some fine folks for Tennessee today for the day. Fishing Palm Coast was fun and the company was good. Fish totals for the cooler were a whiting , 3 flounder, sea bass, and mangrove snapper. Had a steady bite all morning with the tide change in the morning. It died off for a while then turned back on late. One flounder had the scar of a previous close call in life making it unique. Too many shorts in a mixed bag to count.

    Had a great morning with these Indiana boys. Had a decent haul of black drum sheepshead flounder and mangrove snapper. Released an unusual amount of shorts? That's fishing
