Ryan DavenportRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWorked for the fish
Half Day Fishing – (4 MAX) on October 1, 2026 • 3 adultscaptain chris was awesome. Fish were not corporating at first and we moved a couple differnt times. Finally started to hook into small snappers, crokers, and lady fish, and one small juvenile gag grouper. Moved again and couple you g tripe tails. We went back to an early spot and started to catch big black drum, juvenile reds, mangrove snappers, hard head cat fish. We moved spots when bites dried up. Top tier fishing equipment. Also saw lots of dolphins, young spotted eagle ray, and flock of cow nosed rays. 
Tammy Douglas5.0VerifiedWhere do I start?? Captain Chris is awesome!!
Half Day Fishing – (4 MAX) on January 2, 2026 • 3 adultsI am sure I will miss something about all Captain Chris did for us to be so accommodating for this trip. This was a gift to my spouse and grown children and they had a great time. The day they were supposed to go was a bad weather day. Captain Chris reached out to me to let me know and to see if there was another day they could go. He did a lot of juggling to get them in at the absolute best weather day. He is extremely easy to work with. My party had nothing but praises for him. Even though it was not a good fishing day (but they still caught some fish) the trip was great. One of the guys told me that they assumed they would be fishing in the ocean instead of the river/bay. They said they are glad they did not know that, because they would have missed out on the great experience they had with Captain Chris. There is no way I can write every way he accommodated this trip from booking, rescheduling, making sure the trip was great in every way such as stated above, but he also was also flexible on where they met and fished due to red tide keeping from them from the going on the normal route. This is trip was a minimum of 4 guests, so it was very focused on my guys. If you are looking for a great time fishing that money can buy, this is it.
Rachael Broadaway5.0VerifiedHad a blast!
Half Day Fishing – (4 MAX) on May 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain Chris was amazing! It was my son’s first time going out on a trip like this, and he had an absolute blast. We caught mangrove snapper and speckled trout, which made the experience even more exciting for him. The trip was not only a lot of fun, but also very educational — my son learned so much along the way. Captain Chris was personable, great with communication, and kept us updated the day before and the morning of the trip due to weather conditions. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend him to both families and adult groups!
Brad PatientRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing experience!

Half Day Fishing – (4 MAX) - 1:00 PM on March 11, 2026 • 4 adultsit was a slow day of fishing, but the captain made the day great. we did catch fish, watched dolphins, and had a blast.
Jacob Richardson5.0VerifiedFinfilled day on the water!
Half Day Fishing – (4 MAX) on October 7, 2025 • 2 adultsMy wife and I started the mornign by meeting up with Chris at the boat dock, super easy to find and then off we went! We did the 4hr morning trip and had plenty of time to fish several different spots with different bait setups as well as tsrfrting different speces of fish. Conditions wete great but the fish were a little slow to hit our rigs. That didnt stop Chris from trying different spots, different lure setups, and even checking in with others on the water to see if we could find the sweet spot! We had a blast and would for sure book with him again!
