The Best Backcountry Fishing Excursion You’ll Ever Have
Welcome to Chasin’ Tail Charters.
Home of South Florida’s premier flats and backcountry charter service.

Owned and operated by Captain Mike Patterson, Chasin’ Tail Charters specializes in a variety of light tackle fishing excursions in the protected waters of:

  • Flamingo – Everglades National Park
  • Biscayne Bay
  • Key Largo
  • Florida Everglades

A passion that won’t quit. Captain Mike Patterson has been fishing the backcountry of South Florida for more than 25 years. A native Floridian, his love of fishing started as a toddler. For him, the thrill of the catch and all the excitement that goes along with it never go away. So, it was only logical that he become a licensed fishing captain and share his passion with men, women, and children of all ages and experience levels. Captain Mike is:

  • Licensed by the United States Coast Guard
  • Commercially insured
  • Licensed by the U.S. Department of the Interior as an Everglades National Park guide
  • A member of the Action Craft Salt Water Team

An impeccable vessel. Captain Mike takes great pride in his boat and it shows. A 18’ Special Edition Action Craft Flats Master, the boat is designed for backcountry fishing as well as safety. Captain Mike’s boat features:

  • 200HP fuel injected Mercury outboard
  • All United States Coast Guard required safety equipment
  • Electronics include a GPS and VHF radio
  • Professional rods
  • Reels by Penn and Shimano
  • Quality tackle
Important for those with queasy stomachs:
Backcountry or “Flats” fishing is the kind of fishing
where no one gets seasick!
