I have been fishing my entire life. I grew up riding my bike to the local lake after school to catch Bass and Garfish and teaching all my friends how to fish. My father was an avid fisherman, spear fisherman, and a captain. He taught me everything I know. I went to college to study electrical engineering and started working in the electrical field but after a couple years of doing that, I knew that I did not belong there. I quit my job and went to a captains school to get my license and have been working as a boat captain since. All I ever wanted to do is have a job on the water. Now my dreams have come true. I love being able to teach people that have never really fished. There's nothing like putting a big smile on someone's face after they have reeled up the fish of a lifetime. Tight lines, Capt. Chris.

    Best Day Ever - You Need to Book This Trip

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    Words can't describe how great this experience with Captain Chris was. Not only did he make sure that the day was a blast from start to finish, but he knows EVERYTHING about these waters. The knowledge he has is generational and he's spent his entire life fishing the Jacksonville waters. To put it this way, we were so successful that we packed our massive cooler to the brim, set tons aside to give to family and friends, gave Chris almost half of the catch because we couldn't imagine taking any more home, we're giving bags of fish filets out to strangers at the marina, and still can't fit half of what we brought home in our freezer. My husband and I have been fishing a million times but this was our first deep sea experience. This man knows how to find and catch fish like no other. He taught us so much and was so fun to spend that 8 hours with. We went to multiple different spots, including a couple old shipwrecks that were VERY active. Had we been inshore with Chris, we would probably have caught even more, which is a scary thought! I'm sure that charter would have been insane as well. We will most certainly be booking with him again this summer. Lastly, Chris has all positive reviews, minus maybe two outliers. Just as a reminder when you do book with him: you're GOING to have an amazing time out there. But if you happen to go out on a day where the weather isn't the best, the water is a little choppy, or the fish just aren't biting that day, just remember that's the way it goes sometimes. It has nothing to do with his ability. If you can't go out and catch a ton of fish with Chris, then no one could have helped you that day. Thanks again, Chris! We can't wait for our next charter with you but will need to wait a while until we clear space in the freezer or make more friends. ?

    Capt Chris is fantastic-- and you'll be ON THE FISH!

    3/4 Day Trip3 adults

    Can't say enough about our day off-shore with Capt Chris! We've booked a number of Florida trips through the app-- but Chris has been our favorite. He was engaged, knowledgeable and social. 3 good friends in the 50s just wanted to "rip some lips"-' and Capt Chris put us on the fish. I think we hit on every spot he chose. We all 3 had a blast catching 3 Trigger fish, 15 Vermilion snapper, 18 Amberjack, 4 BEAUTIFUL Red Snapper (restricted and returned-- but DAMN they looked good!); and one us even put in 45 mins bringing a 7ft Sandbar shark alongside the boat-- all on a 6 hour trip that took us 20 miles off the coast. Capt Chris was everything we expected and more. We meet in Jax Beach once a year and he'll be our choice again next year. We finished the night with cooking thos 3 Trigger fish (Amazing!) and a half dozen Vermilion snapper filets. Everything we wanted and more. Enuff said!

    Phenomenal Fishing Trip

    Full Day Trip6 adults

    Chris the best captain I have ever fished with. We did an 8 hour run with six anglers, catching live bait was a lot of fun, got on some good size barracudas, a king, three sharks, triggerfish, porgies, red snappers that we had to throw back and our limit of 30 vermillion snapper. Great way to fill a cooler with fillets, chris expertly filleted everything for us. Will definitely book with him again.

    Reported catch:
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Vermilion Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish

Full Day 8hr Smackdown!

May 26, 2024 • Jacksonville
Great full day trip today Saturday May. 25th! We started out trolling for kingfish and we lost 2 fish one broke off and one was lost to human error. Then switched up to bottom fishing and started catching triggerfish. We ended up with 8 triggers and threw back another 10 shorts, then we moved out a little further and put some big baits down for big fish and ended up getting 2 nice Amberjack, a handful of lesser jacks, one Seabass one 34 inch Cobia, One lane Snapper, then the big fish hit!! It took 2 guys to hold the pole but they finally managed to bring up a nice 22+ pound gag grouper! What a fish!! We also we’re catching vermillion snappers while fishing for the bigger ones and ended up with 13 or so of those. We also had to fight through countless massive Red Snapper over 20 pounds. I’m sure we caught over 25 big endangered red snapper!! Come on Noaa Fisheries you got to do something!! All in all it was a great day out in the ocean fishing with these great police officers from South Carolina! Thank you for you Service and Sacrifices you make Everyday!! Happy Memorial Day lol

Sailfish on a 4hr trip

Aug 7, 2022 • Jacksonville
Beautiful Atlantic Sailfish on a half day trip. We were fishing 6 miles offshore Jacksonville Beach and hooked this 6 foot beauty! She fought a good 25 minutes before we put our hands on her beside the boat and then we released her to fight another day! We also caught Barricuda and Kingfish that we kept for dinner. Come join Sweetlipsfishing charters for a great day offshore catching all kinds of great eating fish! Tight lines Capt. Chris

Red Snapper season was a Great Success!!

Jul 9, 2022 • Jacksonville
The Atlantic Red Snapper season was a great success this year! Every trip we hauled back our limit of red snapper with some very nice fish being caught. Our biggest red wws 22 pounds and several over 15 pounds. Hopefully NOAA will open snapper up for more than 2 days next year and if they do then you better book with Sweetlipsfishing charters to get yours.
