Chandler guides fulltime and it shows. He knew exactly where fish would be and works through colors fast to make sure every cast counts. He gives good instructions when fish are moving to cast to the correct spot. His gear was outstanding and provides G.Loomis rods to use. Even after casting many times, there is no fatigue because the rods are so great. We only used spinning reels at our request this trip, but if I came back I would freshen up my fly-fishing to try that out with him. His boat was perfect for trip as well. Everything about the trip was high quality from rods to the drinking water! I highly recommend booking a trip.
Capt. Chandler went above and beyond to accommodate our charter. Couldn’t recommend him more!
