My husband and I had a great trip with Captain Chris and Billy. The one on one service was so beneficial. They were patient and gave us excellent feedback throughout the entire trip. They moved around to different locations when bites slowed down and did everything they could to help us meet our Fish goals for the day. Their demeanor was very professional yet friendly. Felt like we were fishing with Family. Excellent communication.
It was definitely awesome fishing with y’all today!
The entire trip was great. Chris and Billy were excellent especially with helping our young boys. We brought snacks but there wasn’t time to eat because we were constantly on fish. We even had one get sick and they were persistent on checking to make sure he was okay. They were both polite and considerate considering the age of our boys. I would highly recommend booking with Chris.
We had an awesome time with y’all! The boys were amazing young men! Thank y’all for booking with us.
We had a great experience with Chris and Shelly! They were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and knew the area so well. They got us on the fish right away — the mingos were biting faster than we could bait our hooks! When the waves stopped playing nice with our stomachs, they were so thoughtful and flexible. Instead of cutting the trip short or pushing through feeling sick, they gave us a scenic tour of the area and still made the experience enjoyable. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests having a good time. Highly recommend!
We had a great time fishing with yall! Glad yall enjoyed the trip!
Captain Chris and Deckhand Billy were both great. They kept our hooks baited and casted for us when necessary! They were also quick to unhook any fish we caught and were very knowledgeable about limits on each fish species! We tried for Redfish first at several great looking spots, but no big bites! They asked if we wanted more guaranteed action and took us to a back up artificial reef where we caught several keeper reef fish! Overall, it was a fun day, just wish the Reds would have been biting!
We had an awesome time fishing with y’all!
We were a party of five and we kept Captain Chris busy! Everyone caught fish - several different varieties, and we have fish to prepare at home. He even told us how to cook it! It was a great adventure for all of us! We fished in the bay - two adults, two older teens, and a 14 year old fishing fanatic.
Thank y’all!! Had a great time with everyone on the boat today!!
