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.
