    Great experience with Captain Chris. Highly recommend.

    5 Hour Trip – Sharks (AM)

    I recently had the pleasure of booking a fishing trip with Fishin' the Outdoors, and I must say, it was nothing short of fantastic. Captain Chris not only knows his stuff when it comes to fishing, but he also made the entire experience incredibly enjoyable. He guided us to a prime fishing spot with ease, sharing his wealth of knowledge about the local waters and the best techniques to reel in the big ones. His passion for fishing is contagious, and he made sure everyone was involved and having a great time. Whether you're an experienced angler or a novice like myself, Captain Chris ensures that everyone has a memorable and rewarding fishing adventure. I highly recommend Fishin' the Outdoors for your next fishing trip.

    It was a blast having you out and I think you’re becoming more of a pro at this point. I am glad we could catch so many sharks that day. I can’t wait to hear about all the new places you have traveled to and things you have experienced on our next trip!!!

    Nobody more passionate than Fishing the Outdoors

    5 Hour Trip – Sharks (AM)

    And I mean it when I say it, nobody is more passionate about getting you on the fish than Chris and Fishin’ the Outdoors. His knowledge of surf fishing, especially sharks and other big fish, is unparalled, and everybody who fishes with him always has an amazing experience. Nothing makes him happier than seeing you land a big fish and coaching you through getting it on the beach or on the boat. Chris is a wealth of fishing knowledge that makes for an amazing day for anglers of all skill levels. You will never forget the experience you have with Fishin’ the Outdoors, and Chris will be there to get you back on the water whenever you need. Make the trip, send the line out, and if you’re fishing with Chris, you’ll be set.

    Our first hammerhead!!

    6 Hour Trip – Sharks (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    My son has wanted to catch a shark for years. Talked with Chris and I felt he could get us on one. First fish was a 4ft hammer. Only fish we caught but Chris worked his tail off. It was one of the hottest weeks I’ve ever experienced and the water was boiling… Been on many charters and this was a different experience. Very relaxed and accommodating.

    It was a pleasure having you and your family out there! Connor is going to be telling that story to all his friends when he gets back to school. Can’t wait to get you back out and I had a blast with you!
