    Thanks Brett

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    Brett was awesome and very knowledgeable of the area. We booked an afternoon trip for 1pm but he kept us informed that morning charter was leaving early so we were able to go out two hours early. It didn’t take but 1.5 hours to have enough for a two person big mess of fish. We continued fishing with catch and release since sure didn’t kneed 50 fish or 100 fillets. Then back to the dock and Brett went right to work cleaning and packaging fish. Awesome day and excellent guide. And I say that because been on numerous charters trips but this was by far in the top two. Thanks for such an awesome day Bret, keep catching buddy.

    Best guide hands down!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 6, 2024 • 3 adults

    Brett is the best guide hand down!!! I have used many guides in the past and no one was as thorough. Brett called the day before to discuss the trip, what was expected and needed. He was at the dock ready when we got there and ready to fish. He put us on the fish right away even though he thought it wasn't going to be a great day due to no wind and hottttt! SEVENTY plus fish later and SIXTY in the cooler. I'd say that a awesome day for three people in August. I can't say enough about Brett and the awesome experience!! If you want to catch fish and have a awesome guide with a great attitude and knowledge CHUM ON THE WATER is the charter for you!!

    Awesome experience

    Full Day Trip – Trophy Catfish on November 13, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Brett with Chums on the Water is an excellent guide. Not only did i catch my new PB blue cat, I learned a lot from him as he was willing to share his vast knowledge of everything from different set-ups to answering all the questions I had about the boat electronics and everything in between. It was as much a learning experience as it was a fishing trip and he did not disappoint on either front.

    The water temps finally came down and the trophy catfish bite is heating up! We are having success drifting and the bite should only improve over the next few weeks. Big fish for this trip was 47 and we lost a giant at the boat that looked in the 60# range
