    Captain Chris did a great job in finding the fish. My two 10-year old grandsons had such a wonderful time. I would recommend Captain Chris to anyone.

My name is Chris Pace. My wife Jennifer and our four children moved to Rockport a year ago after spending summers here for the last 30 years. Living on the road as a welder in the oilfield for 15 years helped me make that decision. We sold our ranch in Tyler and traded spurs and saddles for boats and fishing poles. Now, as a real estate agent and guide, I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the area gained over all these years coming here. I enjoy people, teaching, and learning new things. Let's get hooked up and go fishing!
