Words cannot describe the amazing day we had with Captain Donnie Jackson of Tails Up Fishing Charters. It was an absolutely super experience and a full day of fishing action. Captain Donnie is very polite and personable, extremely knowledgeable, and energetic to say in the least. He knows the water, the fish, and his boat, and gear are quality. We were blessed with good weather, and with his expertise, we boated a trophy tuna, swordfish, several mahi and red snapper. Going home with a cooler of fish was the icing on the cake after a fun day on the water. We will definitely be back for another trip with Tails Up! Thanks Captain Donnie for all your hard work, preparation, and getting us out to the Gulf of Mexico and back safely. #tailsuprocks!
