    Best 3 Hours on the Water — Captain Chris is the Real Deal!

    3 Hour Trip – Kids & Family Fun • 4 adults • 1 child

    We booked a 3-hour nearshore charter with Captain Chris and it exceeded every expectation. He took us to three different spots and the fish were biting nonstop — we easily caught over 20 fish, including triggerfish, red snapper, red grouper, mingo snapper, sea bass, and more. The kids were having the time of their lives, sometimes reeling in two fish at a time! What really made the trip was Chris himself. He was encouraging, patient with the kids, and kept the energy fun the whole time. We even brought home mingo snappers and a beautiful red grouper. If you’re heading to Destin with family, stop searching — book Captain Chris. We already know who we’re calling next time we’re in town.

    Reported catch:
    Vermilion Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish

    Cinn-sational Time

    5 Hour Trip – Summer May 1 - Jul 31 • 5 adults

    Had a great trip with Captain Chris. Ended up being just 4 of us which was a good number to spread out. We asked for a trip to catch red snapper for catch and cook and to target bigger fish. He worked hard for us and we caught several legal reds and 3 grouper and threw back countless triggerfish. Go with Captain Chris (Trigger) Mitchell for a good catch, good conversation and a great time in Destin.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish
    Response from Captain

    thanks Jarrett! see y'all next yr.
