We had a beautiful day on the water with family and friends. The boat was really nice and comfortable. Fishing was super slow but that's Fishing. The captain kept us on the move in search of fish, but they just weren't biting. But overall we had fun. I would go back out with Captain Chris!!!

Captain Chris started fishing in freshwater and then discovered offshore fishing, falling in love with catching large pelagic fish. He has numerous catches that have won citations and tournaments. The captain has fished the East Coast, West Coast, and the Caribbean, and loves traveling to new places and testing the waters.
