TAILWALKER
Sportfishing at its Best in the Fabulous Florida Keys

 

 

 

THE BOAT...
The TAILWALKER is 43 feet of air conditioned comfort.  This Viking Sportfish is fast, smooth of ride and rigged with modern tackle and electronics.  These attributes coupled with its 35 foot tower, large live bait wells and the expertise of its Captain, Scott Walker, clearly provide the TAILWALKER with all the tools needed to catch you trophy fish in the beautiful Florida Keys.  

Pictured is the TailWalker flying 23 Sailfish Release Flags - not a bad day!  Simply Call Capt. Scott at 305-393-1048 and this could be you.

THE REEF...
Whether you are looking for bottom dwellers or big pelagics the TAILWALKER can deliver.  The magnificent reef of the Florida Keys yields its bounty of Snapper and Grouper all year round.  Capt. Scott, his live bait and the big beam of the TAILWALKER offer an awesome platform to catch these delectable critters.

THE EDGE...
October through April is Sailfish time, and Capt. Scott specializes in providing his charters with a Dinner and a Show.  Here you are first taken to the reef to fish for Yellowtail and Grouper (Dinner), then you are taken over the edge  and treated to the tail walking acrobatics of the Atlantic Sailfish (Show).
THE STREAM...
April through August is Dolphin (Mai Mai if you speak Hawaiian) season.  One of the secrets to catching this excellent eating and beautifully colored fish is to find weed lines, feeding birds and debris.  With the height of its tower, the keen eye of its Captain and the live bait in its wells the TAILWALKER has a decided advantage over most charter boats in the Keys.

Tuna on the Hump, Sushi Anyone?

THE HUMP...
The renowned Marathon Hump (an underwater mountain offshore of Duck Key) provides fishermen an opportunity to take Tuna all year round.  Whether on live bait or deep water jigs these fish fight hard and provide excellent table fair. 
THE DEEP BLUE...
For the true sportsman a trip into the Deep Blue may be in order.  35 miles from the Keys lives the majestic Swordfish, a truly magnificent species which is capable of tremendous jumps and screaming runs.  Capt. Scott along with just a handful of other Captains in the Keys now offer daytime Swordfishing trips.

THE WRECKS...  
Many a ship's Captain has experienced the loss of a vessel on the reefs of the Keys.  But one man's wreck is another man's treasure, as these wrecks now hold the treasure of big shouldered Grouper, African Pompano, Mutton Snapper, Cobia and Permit.  With the help of Capt. Scott and the TAILWALKER'S GPS you can drop a live bait right into the mouth of one of these bruisers.

THE CAPTAIN...  
Captain Scott Walker has fished the waters of the Keys for over 25 years, and has been very successful in local and regional sportfishing tournaments.  But what really sets Scott apart from his competition is his work ethic.  For Capt. Scott every day and every activity is tackled with a level of energy and excitement that few Captains can sustain for a week much less a lifetime.  Without a doubt Scott's attitude and life can best be described as FISH ON! 
Capt. Scott can be reached at 305-393-1048 and is available for tournament fishing.
