Chris Lantz

Member since March 2023 Port St. Joe, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
I personally love fishing with artificial lures. A basic soft plastic paddletail on a jig head is hard to beat. But my favorite "style" of fishing, is catching!
