Captain Chris took my family and I out in relatively tough conditions for reds. It’s been scorching heat for days, little to no wind, and the activity reflected that. It was a tough go for a minute, with trash fish and crabs plaguing us, but Chris kept his head on the swivel, and constantly moved us in search for fish. Fish are always biting, regardless of the conditions, and he knew that. It was just a matter of figuring them out. He got us on the reds, and in conditions like that, I’m confident he can get target fish in the boat regardless of the circumstances. I would highly recommend Chris for a trip. He is a young, high energy captain, with nothing but knowledge akin to captains who’ve been fishing for 20 years. It is evident he enjoys just being out there on the water, excited and passionate to pursue the fish he’s been after since he was a kid. With that being said, I would still give Chris 5 stars with zero fish on the line. It is extremely evident he is knowledgeable, and even experts have their days, but it is still fishing in the end. I’ve been on boats catching plenty of fish with captains who are cocky and standoffish. I would rather a day on the boat with Chris and no fish than a rude, salty captain any day of the week. Keep up the good work, man.
Capt. Chris led a great charter. Hit the water around 7 am and hit our limit on redfish in no time. Released a few more reds and some nice flounder as they were out of season. Capt. Chris definitely knows his way around these waters as we bounced around quite a bit when the bite slowed down looking for the fish. All equipment on board was top of the line and the boat ran great. Overall a great time and would recommend to anglers of any level.
We had a great time on this fishing charter in Hubert, NC! Captain Chris was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We caught 2 redfish and even a stingray, which made the trip exciting and memorable. Captain Chris really knows the area and worked hard to help us have a successful day on the water. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing fishing trip!
We had a great time. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and persistent. He put us on a bunch of quality fish. Highly recommend.
Went out with my brother to catch some fish. Chris put us on some quality ones! If we ever decide to go again we will for sure book him. You wont be disappointed. 10/10 no doubt
Had a great time with Chris! Definitely will fish with him again. Very nice boat and gear. We caught some Reds and had a geat time on the water!
Chris took us right to the reds and we caught some beautiful fish! It was an amazing day and we are so appreciative!

young captain but worked hard to get us on some red fish. good guy. would recommend him

This was my family's first charter, we have kids age 6 and 9...one of which with special needs. Captain Chris was very friendly and engaging and both my kids loved him! He went out of his way to accommodate us when we had some particularly ridiculous requests. He also put us on the fish! We all got to take turns reeling in plenty of fish...even got into some slot redfish! 100% recommend him to any family...you won't regret it!
Capt. Chris was great with my six year old son he took the time to make sure he was having fun and catching fish highly recommend and great with children
