Captain
Ed Traylor

Member since April 2023 Marathon, United States
Background
Captain Ed Traylor (our founder) is 4th generation Floridian who has fished the coastal and inland waters since childhood. He has also fished (and continues to fish) with some of the most renowned Captains in Marathon Key gathering decades of offshore fishing knowledge and techniques from award-winning captains. Whether you are here for the first time or visit Marathon regularly, Wet Tails Charters will provide a fishing experience that you will never forget.
Techniques
On the troll chasing birds is my most desired way of fishing. The thrill of finding the Mahi or Tuna and the rod slamming action that proceeds it is what I live for.
