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.

6 Hr Nearshore Reef/Wreck

Enjoyed spending a day on the water with Ed and Mikey. Felt like taking a fishing trip with buddies. Weather and sea conditions were great. Fish could’ve been more cooperative, however we didn’t boat everything we hooked. All in all, a beautiful day in The Keys!

Captain Ed put us over the fish and we stayed hooked up one right after the other. Most action filled few hours ever and even got to take in the sunset.
