angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain Chris is a die-hard, hardcore fisherman with 27+ years of "catching" experience. From a very young age, Chris would spend virtually any free moment he had fishing and growing his knowledge of the sport. Like most people who catch their first Redfish, he will never forget the first time he felt the "angry bull-like pull" of a Redfish on the end of his line when he was a kid. He has spent countless years fishing St. Joe Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and learning what the different seasons have to offer in this amazing fishery so that you have the best chance at catching quality fish. Captain Chris hopes his passion for fishing and marine life will bring you the same joy that he gets every time he experiences St. Joe Bay.

Captain Chris is the best!

The weather was challenging, but Chris took great care of me and my kids. He has a very laid back vibe, genuinely seemed interested in getting to know us, and knowledgeable about the fishing in the bay. We didn't wear them out, but we had fun catching a few sharks and some cats. I'll definitely book with him, again, the next time I visit the Cape.

Tough fishing

Due to the unusual warmer water temps, the bite was very tough. Capt Chris did everything he could to put us on fish and leaving with one fish. The Capt takes it to heart when things turn out like that. He’s very personable and cares about his clients being successful.
