I have fished from the U.S. to Asia and I have been on numerous charters throughout my life. With all this said ... Mike is the best Captain I have fished with! He has an outstanding boat, exceptional gear, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Whether you're an experienced angler or have never fished in your life, I highly recommend Mike. No exceptions!

I was in Florida last week and my parents arranged a fishing trip with Captain Fred for us. It was…read morea wonderful day and the service Fred provided was stellar. He took amazing care of all of us--baiting our hooks, helping us cast, etc. It was my son's first time fishing and Fred made it memorable. At first the fish weren't biting because there had been a cold front for a few days before our trip. But Fred wouldn't give up. He took us around to several different spots until we found some fish that actually wanted to eat. We caught a bunch of beautiful spotted trout. And it was also just beautiful traveling around through all the mangrove inlets...we saw egrets and heron and osprey. It was a great trip and great service.

This is my first time fishing in Florida and in the Gulf. My friend (who recently moved here and…read morehas a boat) and I decided to charter a local Captain for local tips and experience. For background; I have fished in numerous places throughout the world and have been on many a Charter boat. Our experience with Captain Mike Rabon ranks up there in my top 3. We told him what we were looking for and he exceeded our expectations. Captain Mike not only put us on fish immediately but explained and took the time in providing tips and techniques. I highly recommend chartering with Captain Mike.

We asked Capt. Mike to take us scalloping and fishing. We had so much fun! He knows where the fish…read more& scallops are! We caught our limit of scallops, and some big ole fish! He showed us what to do, and what not to do and was very helpful and patient with me; I'm new to snorkeling. He and my fiancé could talk for hours about fish and the gulf. His boat is great, and he had all the equipment needed to scallop. He even showed us how to shuck them. He is highly recommended. We have told several friends about him, they agree he's the best.

My wife and I went to visit my Mom in Hudson the week of Memorial Day, and had a charter scheduled…read morewith Captain Chris on Thursday, May 29th. The trip was nothing short of exceptional. We met Chris at the dock around 8 as planned, when we got there he had the boat in the water, had already caught a live-well full of bait, and was ready to go. His boat is amazing, like nothing I've ever seen in the Northeast where I live. A shallow, skiff like vessel, very open for plenty of room to maneuver, with an awesome center console tower. It was a beautiful day, and the 1st stop was an inshore island he knew of where we caught plenty of sea trout, a monster 35 inch snook, and a small jack crevalle. After maybe an hour, the bite had slowed, and Chris suggested we could move to an inland river/canal and try for some redfish. First we pulled up to a sand beach at the end of the island, anchored and took a swim. It was awesome. When done, we took a beautiful ride to the next spot (all of our travel time on the boat was incredibly scenic and enjoyable), got into a spot he knew, and caught some redfish. Before we knew it, it was time to head back to the dock and wrap up our half day trip. When we got there, Chris filleted what we had kept of our catch (2 sea trout and 2 redfish), and bagged it for us to bring home. That night we had an epic dinner of fresh Gulf fish on the grill. I'm heading back to FL later this week, and once again I'm heading out with Capt. Chris/Epic Tails. He will be my go to fishing guide for the rest of the time my Mom is in FL. I've been on a bunch of charters over the years (both in the Northeast and FL), and Captain Chris is without question the best I've experienced. See you in a week or so, I can't wait!
