Whether its inshore fishing for redfish on fly or spin ,or jumping tarpon off the beach, Capt. Cullen knows his stuff. He's also got the skiffs and tackle to make your day with him on the water a success. I highly recommend High Tailin'!

Captain Cullen was excellent. We sight fished reds on several trips both from his Maverick and the Lt25. I caught some great fish both on fly and spinning gear, had a great time. His knowledge of the local waters around Saint Augustine is unbelievable.

High Tailin’ Fishing charters has been such an awesome experience for our family to enjoy over the years. From taking clients, to kids to your significant other Captain Cullen has always made everyone feel like they are a natural and shares his love of angling with all. Had most of my most successful and best days fishing with Captain Cullen and High Tailin’ Fishing charters. Couldn’t recommend a better outfit with better energy.

Both captains have a lot of experience fishing in Florida waters. Great guides for fly fishing and they always take us where the fish are tailing! Lots of fun and a great way to see St. Augustine from the water side. I highly recommend them - they are the best!!
