    Honest Fisherman and Family man!

    8 Hour – Fishing Charter on October 10, 2026

    Chris taught so many fishing techniques that we can take with us on our own fishing trips. His knowledge, experience, and passion for fishing are second to none. Everything we learned from him is something we can pass down for generations to come. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and enjoys sharing it with others. Much love, Chris! Well worth the trip! 👍🎣

Real catches by this captain

    Red Snapper
    Got our limit of vermillions and a few almocos for dinner! Plus some short muttons and groupers that we released! The mahis should be around on the reef soon!
  • A fisherman skillfully filleting a freshly caught fish at a cleaning station on the dock.
    Fish 1
    Red Snapper
    We started our day out deep in 180 foot near a wreck, where we cuaght our verms, a trigger, some jacks, and a scamp grouper! As we worked our way back inshore we where drifting a spot for snappers and a large shark with a huge cobia swam up to the back of the boat. Me and my mate where able to hook the fish and our client did a great job fighting the fish. We cuaght him in maybe ten minutes and the fish came in very alive on the gaff! We made a few more drifts and came back home with plenty of fish for everyone!

    Red Snapper
    We started our day about 30 minutes offshore catching some live baits like grunts, cigars, and spanish sardines. After that we had about a 40 mile ride out to the ledge. Our first few drifts where slow for the vermillions, We got this big amber jack and our first mutton. After a few spot more drifts we hooked another and had the sharks fired up so we moved spots. While we where drifting we hooked and caught 2 nice mahis and a bonita. we moved spots quite a bit but it was worth it becuase our last couple drift of the day we caught our last two muttons. Everybody had a great time and went home with big bags of fish!
