I took my 6 year old grandson and my fiance fishing with Captain Chip. The early morning sunrise over Lake Murray was beautiful and a fantastic beginning to a fun day. Since the trip was really made for the benefit of my grandson, we did not target the larger fish but we sure had a blast catching a lot of 1-3 pound fish with a nice 6 pounder thrown in. When our day was over, we left with the fish still biting. I would definitely recommend Captain Chip to anyone looking for a family fun-filled fishing adventure.

Thank you for the great review. I had a great time.

What a wonderful day! Our captain was amazing! Personally, well equipped, knowledgeable. Hands down the best charter trio I've had.
Had an awesome time fishing with Captain Chip. He had us on the fish for over 3 hours. I would highly recommend Captain Chip if anyone is looking to fish Lake Murray. Can't wait for a return trip

48 years of fishing experince fishing SC lakes for Stripers and Crappie. My Dad and I started fishing together on the lakes when we first got a boat when I was 9 years old. We quickly fell in love with Striper fishing and fished every weekend, year round. That passion has never let up and now I enjoy introducing clients to our fabulous fisheries.
