Chris truly cares about his customers. Chris isn’t here for just the business he truly enjoys fishing and getting into the sport. Your skill level is irrelevant because he’ll teach you what you need to know. My son and I never fished in salt water before. Will book again. We had a great time and he’s safe about it too.

My husband came home and has been bragging for hours about this trip. He loved the guide, and said they had the best time! He’s already planning to come back in October to fish with him again.
