Being a Louisiana Cajun Boy and from a family that loves the outdoors as much as I do, I was introduced to the outdoors at a very young age. I was blessed with the opportunity to move and live in Florida in '89. I have fished in Louisiana bayous, ponds, and rivers, as well as the Gulf Mexico. I've even caught Crawfish in ditches! I've also fished in Florida on the Atlantic side, St. Johns River and the Gulf of Mexico grass flats. My name is Captain Champ Klein and I cannot wait to share a piece of Keaton Beach Florida paradise with you and your family. So come on down for a morning or evening trip and make memories that will last a lifetime!

The captain was very attentive and nice. He answered all questions and was understanding with the heat wave that came when we were out on the boat.

Capt. Champ was awesome. Had a great time. He assisted with everything. Baited my wife’s hook constantly. Loved that. Also, Capt Champ told us some history of the area and the names of certain areas along the shoreline. It was a good day all around. Thanks Capt. Champ

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 22, 2022 • 3 adults • 1 child
I have been on a half dozen or so chartered/guided fishing trips. This was the best one I've ever been on. Fishing Captain Champ made me feel like I was fishing with a friend who was taking me to their coveted fishing spots and wanted me to catch fish. Equipment was all top notch and well maintained, he was was very knowledgeable and friendly. When we are back in the area I will be booking with salty tails again for sure.
