Chris Oliver
Member since March 2018
Poughkeepsie, United States
- Background
- Captain Chris Oliver is a lifelong Dutchess County resident who has been fishing the bountiful Hudson River since the age of five. What began as a childhood pastime quickly grew into a true passion, especially for targeting the powerful striped bass that migrate through the river each season. As he grew older, that passion only intensified. Captain Chris purchased his first boat and began running fishing charters as soon as he earned his captain’s license. Over time, what started as a love for fishing evolved into a full-time career on the water. Captain Chris has dedicated himself to understanding the behavior and migrations of Hudson River striped bass and continually refining techniques to successfully target them. Known for his hands-on approach and willingness to adapt, he is always studying the fishery, developing new methods, and sharing his knowledge with anglers of all experience levels. When the striped bass season winds down, Captain Chris transitions from the river to the offshore grounds, running to blue water in pursuit of yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, and bluefin tuna. His experience across both inshore and offshore fisheries allows him to stay on the water year-round and gives clients the opportunity to experience everything from light-tackle river fishing to true big-game battles in the ocean. His goal on every trip is simple: provide a safe, enjoyable experience and put clients on fish while teaching them skills they can use long after the trip ends.
