Member since March 2018 Panama City, United States
Background
I have loved being on the water since I was a child. I made my way through the Beautiful Gulf of America on several Charter boats and now and I'm back running Tell'nTails. I hope to share my broad knowledge of fishing different species and different techniques for both bottom and troll fishing. We strive to provide a great experience for you and your group. I have been running charter boats for the past 10 years and still have the same passion as the day that I started. Let's go Fishing!
Techniques
I always check with the weather forecast and fellow Captains to see what is biting and what the best course of action is for each particular day. I love to troll for pelagic fish and bottom fishing is fun because of the fast action.

We had 2 trips booked for today. The first was our 3hr Spring Break special. Shortly after Justin put the lines in the water we had non stop action. We ended that trip with 65 spanish mackerel. Our 2nd trip was no different from the first. Only this was our 4hr trip. Fishing was a little slower but not far off from this mornings trip. We ended up with 69 spanish mackerel. All in all today was a great day.

The bonita also made a great showing to too it all off! One delicious mahi-mahi for the icing on the cake. Could not have asked for a better crew or day on the water!
