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!
