Christopher Harpster

Member since January 2025 Big Pine Key, United States
Background
I became an angler because of a lifelong passion for fishing that started in my childhood. Spending time outdoors, connecting with nature, and the thrill of the catch all drew me in. Over time, this hobby grew into a deeper appreciation for the craft and the ecosystem around it and i wanted to share that experience with others. What drives me to work in this business is the opportunity to share that passion with others, whether through guiding, education, or providing quality gear. I love helping people experience the joy and peace that fishing brings, and being part of a community that values sustainability and respect for nature keeps me motivated every day.
Techniques
live bait, trolling, bottom fishing, wreck fishing, jigging, drifting, inshore, bridge fishing, back country fishing, kite fishing
