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!

Captain Chris made the trip all fun and friendly banter, interrupted by a frequent bite, pull, fish off the hook or chewed through the line situation. 4 hrs spent well!

Awesome Fishing Trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 25, 20263 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.

Slow on our targeted fish, but still great day.
3/4 Day Trip on April 17, 20263 adults

Caught a lot of fish, but not the ones we were targeting - catfish, ladyfish, jacks, stingrays. Caught a keeper whiting. It was relatively slow on the ICW in this region all week. Capt Chris was great to fish with.

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.
