Charles Taliaferro

Member since December 2018 Saint George Island, United States
Background
A Bass fisherman and tournament Bass fisherman turned saltwater fisherman. With saltwater fishing, you never know what you will catch. You may target a certain species and catch something totally unexpected. I had chartered several times in my life and enjoyed it immensely. While looking for a boat for my son, we came across a Cape Horn 24OS and my wife fell in love with it. We bought it 10 years ago, and the rest is history. Between my wife and I, we live to saltwater fish. We enjoy putting other people on fish and watching them catch fish. It's just as much a thrill to pass along the knowledge and watch someone else catch fish as it is to catch them yourself. ALMOST!
Techniques
Bottom fishing for grouper and various snappers. Light tackle for king mackerel on bass fishing rods is a unique thrill. Jigging for Amberjack is an experience you will want once a trip. They don't call them reef donkey's for no reason.

We had a blast reeling in the fish. They were very kid friendly and took care of the kids. My son ended up out fishing me!...
