Sam Root, http://www.saltyshores.com/, went fishing with Captain Jonathan Earhart of Chaos Charters .
From the Sam Root Article:
On the way over I got a call from Captain Jonathan Earhart of Chaos Charters. He found out I was coming over and wanted to see if I wanted to get out for a couple hours that evening to do some fishing. I was a bit early anyways and I had my gear so why not. With one cast of the net we had a live well full of mullets. We idle down to the area we saw all the snook and with one cast chad gets a nice fat snook. After a couple photos and few more misses with the snook we moved on to get some tarpon which usually holds a little deeper in the water column.
With the sun setting and the tide ripping out the bite was on. The mullet would float on the top and they were getting blasted by Tarpon and sharks. It was the best Tarpon bite I’ve even been on really. I mean in 2 hours we must have had 15 eats and landed 3 Tarpon.
Sam’s comments on the Chaos 16:
“John has a neat looking skiff called Chaos 16 Bonefish made in the Carolina.” “The Chaos boat for a 16′ rode surprisingly well. The winds were 15 mph and it was a very dry skiff. Very stable and efficient w/ the 60hp on there. Not sure how well it poles because we were fishing the deeper stuff today.” — to read his whole write up about the fishing trip – go t0 Sam Root, Mullet run 2011 fishing with Chaos Charters, Long day in 6′-8′ rollers
I emailed Sam on Facebook to say thank you for his post and for sharing his Chaos Fishing experience. Sam’s email back was:
“I have to say for a 16′ boat it was a very comfortable ride and and surprisingly dry considering it was blowing 15mph down here in Florida that day. We had 3 people on the boat and the skiff was stable and very fishable. Being in fishing photography I get to fish in lots of skiffs. I have to say it ranks right up there.”
