Foggy Fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on December 23, 20254 adults

Great trip with Captain Chris and his first mate. It was a family trip. Cousins, uncle and aunt all had fun. We landed pretty much everything black drum, speckled trout, sand trout , red fish, flounder and one massive black drum (40 inches) that gave a bit of a fight. It was great conversation onboard and just a chill morning of fishing. We will definitely ride with Captain Chris again. Highly recommend.

A great morning near the Bay
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 11, 20266 adults

The fishing trip was for my son's 40th birthday. Captain Chris and his crew put our gang of clueless fisherman wannabes on some fish including a 30+ lb black drum. We had a blast and were grateful for such a knowledgeable and patient guide.

Captain Chris was great and friendly. We move to different spots to catch fish which was awesome. He is polite and helpful and is goal is for you to have your pole in the water as much as possible to catch fish

Captain Chris is the BEST!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on November 29, 20254 adults

Captain Chris was amazing as usual, we went out last year around the same time and I caught the largest redfish I've ever reeled in. This year I caught one that was even bigger. He knows all the spots, plenty of bait and is super accommodating and knowledgeable. He truly made my Dad's 76th birthday fishing trip amazing. Can't wait to go out with him again!!!

Capt. Chris runs trips on Galveston Bay and Clear Lake aboard a 24' Sea Pro. These waters are known for Redfish and Sheepshead and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
