We enjoyed the day with Capt. Chris
Half Day Trip up to 4 guests on June 12, 20242 adults

Although the fish were not cooperative until the end of our trip Capt. Chris was a pleasure to fish with. He worked hard to find us fish and we were rewarded with several fish in the last hour of our day. The Capt was a lot of fun and we had a lot of laughs. We really enjoyed our day.

Good time
Half Day Trip up to 4 guests on May 28, 20233 adults

Captain has a great attitude and very inspired by his fishing. We had a great time even though we didn’t catch many keepers. He was very knowledgeable and showed us a good time. We caught a lot of fish on a bad day, so he can definitely find the fish you are looking for in the bay. He’s a good ole boy and definitely will book again next time I’m in the area.
