We booked a birthday fishing trip with Carolina Angler for my 13-year-old son, and it was hands down the best fishing experience we’ve ever had — way better than trips we’ve done in Florida!

Captain Chris was absolutely fantastic. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and he taught us so much about the fish we were catching — how to spot them, understand their habits, and why certain baits work best. His love for fishing and the lake really shows.

We had an amazing day on the water and caught so much fish — around 8 catfish and close to 100 perch! This was way more than we’ve ever caught before. Chris had all the right gear, bait, and tips. He was especially great with the kids — helping them bait the hooks, cast properly, and take fish off the lines.

My son said it was the best birthday fishing trip ever, and I couldn’t agree more.

If you’re looking for a fun, educational, and action-packed fishing trip, don’t think twice — book with Carolina Angler! You won’t be disappointed. Top notch guide. Five stars all the way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks again, Captain Chris!

Today we had an excursion on Lake Wylie with Captain Chris. The entire trip was enjoyable. Chris provided instruction, technique, knowledge of the lake, and most importantly, patience and kindness toward our children, who are inexperienced at fishing. They caught several white perch and crappy, but also quite a few catfish - even a 15 pounder! Our kids were so excited! We highly recommend and can’t wait for our next day on the lake with him.

I connected with Chris after my retirement with a desire to fish…something I had done less than ten times in the past 40 years.  I have neuropathy in both my fingers and feet which can be limiting for me (I’m blessed; not complaining).  Chris is patient and tremendously accommodating with every aspect, including bating the hook and removing it from the caught fish.  He knows where to fish on the lake and takes great care to emphasize a safe and fun fishing experience.  I cannot imagine a better captain.

All my son wanted for his bday was to fish with a few of his close friends. The family goes on a fishing trip in Florida every year with the same captain, so I knew replicating that was going to be hard to find. Well…..captain Chris did not disappoint. Even through the 40 degree windy weather, the boys caught lots of fish. Our son loved every moment of it and his friends couldn’t stop talking about it when they got home. We will definitely book another trip with Chris again.

It really pays to hire a very Experienced Professional to enjoy your day catching fish.  He knows the lake better than anyone that I have been with. Cpt Chris has years of experience.  We caught good quality fish and a bunch of them( we got our limit)!!! Caught alot and released!!!
It was a great day and he was on time and prepared to go. He had great gear to fish with too. I would suggest you try him if you can get him.
