fished with fish TALES charter recently. Had a great time. Thank you Travis Parks.

This was the best trip for Carter. Travis took his time making sure Carter was getting this bites as well as educating him on the ins and outs of fishing. There were a lot of memories made on this trip and it is all because of Travis. I recommend him to everyone that wants to get out there, whether you have experience or not. You will be so thankful for taking this trip.

I took my boys fishing with Fish TALES Charters and we ALL had a blast! Travis is very knowledgeable and will find the fish. If you don’t know how to fish, no worries; he’ll show you what to do. If you are seasoned, the boat is already fully equipped. Just show up and have a good time. Highly recommended!

If you want a fishing experience like no other, book with Travis! No matter your experience level he will make it happen. Ladies if you need a date idea, I promise you won’t be disappointed. We enjoyed every minute of our charter and we will book again! Thanks Travis!

It was great that all we had to do was show up to the ramp - he was there ready and waiting for us!! Even better that we caught our limit within a… See more
