Half Day Trip - Inshore
Captain Chris made my grandson’s birthday! Not only was his boat and knowledge exceptional, he was never giving up! He put us on fish all morning long. We were able to catch yellow mouth trout and Red keepers. We all three caught our limit and had a great time. If your looking for a great experience look no more this is your Captain of choice ! Great job Chris and thank you for making my grandson’s experience a lifetime memory.

Full Day Trip – Nearshore
Great full day trip today. I booked a full day near shore trip and told Chris I was looking for Tarpon. Unfortunately the tarpon haven't been around in a while, but Chris was committed to showing us a great time. He called the day before to make a new plan. We spent the day inshore targeting reds and trout, and it was a great time. Captain Chris knows his stuff. His equipment and boat were fantastic (my dream setup to be honest), and he's very friendly. This was a birthday trip for me and he did a fantastic job. I'll never book another captain as long as Chris is available. Thanks!

Half Day Trip - Nearshore (AM)
Chris was very knowledgeable and taught us well, even as beginner level as we are. It was a slow day for catching fish, but Chris still managed to help us catch a nice amount for lunch anyway. Will definitely book with him again.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM)
Captain Chris was very attentive to helping us catch fish…a blue fish, a few red fish, a couple sheepshead, a trout, and a sting ray! He kept our hooks baited with fresh shrimp and minnows. And Chris patiently rescued our lines when we snagged the bottom or, ahem, the motor. We experienced a variety of Intercoastal spots and enjoyed many views of the St Augustine shore.

I booked this trip for my husband and father. They had a great time. Caught lots of fish and they were cleaned and bag for them! They want to book an off shore fishing trip with Captain Chris next year on our vacation week!
