I've been fishing my whole life - almost 45 years. I retired from the Air Force in 2014, after which I made fishing my career - it's what I'm most passionate about. I considered pursuing other interests such as flying since I'm an instrument-rated pilot, but my heart belongs to the water. I've had a couple of fantastic mentors who have helped me get started and here I am, taking the opportunity to show others the time of their life!

    Amazing trip! Amazing captain!

    半日6時間 ガルフ釣りツアー • 4 大人

    Did the 6 hour trip with Captain Chuck and WOW he did not disappoint! He was very responsive before the trip had even started and even called 2 days early to help determine what spots would work best for us. On the day of the trip, he had everything ready to go and we set out right on time. We had 4 people in our party and none of us are super comfortable with fishing, but Captain Chuck was always patient and helped teach us everything there was to learn. He worked his butt off to make sure we were always in a great position to catch some fish and he made sure to communicate all the important stuff to keep things running smoothly! We caught so many fish and had such a fun time! Will 1000% be booking with Captain Chuck in the future!

    What a 4th of July!

    半日6時間 ガルフ釣りツアー • 5 大人 • 1 人の子供

    Captain Madden did an amazing job! The day started out with a good bite in the first spot and then a quick move to a second spot where Captain Chuck got the fish fired up! We caught so many fish and such a variety of fish, red snapper, mangos, Mingos, scamp, Bonita and more. It was by far the best charter experience I’ve had in the past 20 years. We had folks in our group of varying ages and experience and Captain Madden took great care of everyone and made sure all had a great time! We will be back again to fish with Captain Chuck!!

    The Best Charter ever!

    半日6時間 ガルフ釣りツアー • 2 大人

    The day could not have gone better. Capt Chuck Madden was in communication with us for a couple days beforehand watching the weather. We got a good window a bit later than scheduled (thanks for the flexibility). Once we got out of the bay, we were on fish...a few bites early on and we moved a couple times, and Chuck had matched his places with the kind of chop we were in. We hit one of his favorites and we were hitting big fish immediately and it was sustained for some time. Big fish are what Chuck targets...what we were after and it turned out to be the best day on the water EVER for a couple of 70+ year olds who have been fishing together for 60 years. Big mangrove snapper, some of the biggest red snappers I have ever seen, good sized gag grouper (the grouper and red snapper were not open so we returned them to the water immediately) and a few other species. You absolutely cannot do better than booking Capt Chuck and his Above the Salt charter.

    “The day could not have gone better”. Guys, with your willingness to handle the seas like you did and your enthusiasm, I couldn’t agree more. It made the trip more enjoyable than I can describe. I truly hope to see you again.

    初心者向け 4時間 ガルフ釣りツアー（午前） • 3 大人

    Thankfully, I was able to book Above the Salt with Captain Chuck last minute. He was professional, knowledgeable about where the best fishing spots are, and made us feel like we’ve known him for years. We caught lots of fish we’d never caught on a charter, and we even hooked a Goliath Grouper! We can’t wait to go back for a longer fishing trip.

    Great Experience!

    半日6時間 ガルフ釣りツアー • 3 大人

    Captain Chuck was very professional from the safety training all the way thru the trip. True conservationist. We caught a variety of fish including a 8ft 300lb bull shark. Of course we released him back. Great day on the water with a great Captain. Would definitely book with him again.

    Captain Chuck was amazing! He was so patient with our 12 year old and took us to all the spots to catch fish! We caught several even though the weather and waves were against us. We will definitely book with him again. He’s worth every penny.

    Had an Epic Day with Captian Chuck and Deckhand Drew. We were on the fish from the very beginning. Capt. Chuck was awesome with the boys and answered a ton of questions from the kids. I’ll be booking with Captain Chuck next time we are in the area. Boys got to see dolphins around the boat and even a tiger shark! Awesome Day!!

    Captain and deck hand were great. Highlight of the trip was a shark on and watching my husband trying to reel it in with help of Drew. Captain put us on some red snapper and made sure we got some fish before the trip was over. Definitely booking with them again when we come back next year.

    My family and I had a great time with Capt Chuck and Drew. Very knowledgeable and friendly. They worked hard to make sure we had a great trip. We had grandma with us and Drew was even thoughtful enough that he sat in front of her to block the spray from the waves on the drive back. Need more guides like Capt Chuck and Drew. Book with confidence.

Hello everyone, As the picture"s show the giant Vermilion and Mangrove snapper bite is on fire. Throw in the Amberjack and Cobia bite and its a great time to be fishing. Two cobia hooked up yesterday with a 34 pounder landed and in the box made a great day. Book your trip and lets put fish on ice!

The fishing has really been great the last couple weeks. There are Mahi Mahi everywhere it seems. Plenty of red snapper with a limit for almost every trip. Huge black snapper have been caught as well. If you are not out fishing right now you're missing out. Tight lines!

Great bite right now.

May 2, 2021 • Shalimar
This week has been a fantastic bite both in the bay and in the gulf. Several Bull Redfish and gator Trout were caught in the bay fishing flats. Amberjack is open and they are being caught in great numbers. Trigger is open until the end of May and once you get past the smaller ones keepers can be found. King Mackerel and blackfin Tuna are being caught trolling along the structure close to shore.

Destin equals size

Feb 27, 2021 • Shalimar
This week we are recovering from the cold front that moved in. Water temps were dangling around 65.7 and as we all know FOG! If you can get to the Marler bridge and you have a little patience it will pay off. Shrimp and pin fish will connect you with Redfish and Black Drum. Some Sheepshead are being caught however they are not thick just yet. This is the time of year it gets better every day.
