    Great day on the water!

    Half Day Fishing - 5 Hour • 3 adults

    My son, grandson, and I had an awesome day of fishing. Not only did we catch a lot of fish but we learned so much about the sport of fishing. Captain Brandon was the perfect host - knowledgeable, friendly, and right there to assist with any issues! We highly recommend Brandon as the perfect host for helping create fishing memories!

    Full day trip with captain Brandon

    Lower Bay Redfish & Cobia • 4 adults

    We could not have been happier with our experience. Brandon knew the water and the fish. We caught fish throughout the day worked on new techniques and put up some new PBs. Captain was very cordial and made sure we had a good day. Anyone should consider Salt Tale Charters.

    Afternoon Half Day Trip

    Half Day – Middle Bay (PM) • 2 adults

    Had a conference in the area and contacted Brandon to see if I could squeeze in an afternoon trip after I landed and git into town. Brandon was over the top accommodating to my tight travel schedule and we were able to squeeze out a beautiful night of fishing. Threw alot of bait presentations and caught fish on all of them, but the grand finale was top water baits right before dusk. It was a blast!

    Response from Captain

    Brian I had a great time put there with you. Really stoked the topwater bite came through for us to finish the evening out. Thanks and hope to have you back out.

    Half day trip with Captain Brandon

    Half Day Fishing - 5 Hour • 3 adults

    Bite was slow but Captain Brandon made sure we were able to get some fish into the boat. He is very knowledgeable and used all of his tricks to make this a memorable experience for us. It was more than just a fishing trip. Captain Brandon provided a wealth of information about the bay in the areas where we fished. I would not hesitate booking another trip.

    Response from Captain

    Larry it was a pleasure having the two of you on the boat. Fish sure could have helped us out a little bit more but we found some quality fish and had great weather and conversation! Hope to have you back. Thanks

    Brandon was an excellent captain and fishing guide. Clean boat and top notch equipment. A local fisherman, Brandon knew the river well and put us on the fish. We had a blast and caught plenty o' stripers of all sizes. Highly recommend this charter!

    Captain Mike went out of his way to make sure our fishing trip was an amazing experience. You can tell you are not just another trip he has to check off and instead he prioritizes each and every trip to make sure it will be the absolute best. Boat, gear, equipment and experience were all top notch. Will be planning another trip in the future with him for sure!

    Brandon is a great guy, and he is fun to fish with. Having fished there all his life, Brandon knows the waters where he fishes. I had a great time and will book Brandon again.

    Left the dock early so we could call ch a lot type action on top water, caught several nice rock fish. As the sun came up switched to some crank baits and soft plastics and continued to catch fish. Great day on the water. Captain was a lot of fun to fish with.
