We had an excellent trip with Captain Chip.  Specifically:
- We arrived at the dock before sun-up, Captain Chip already had the boat in the water ready to go, live bait in the well, and the fishing poles set up to use.
- Captain Chip had phenominal electronics on-board to locate / track the fish in the water (5-6 pannels at various points on the boat).
- Captain Chip was VERY familiar with where the Stripper Bass were located.  overall, we caught around 30 bass (note: we started doing “catch and release” after having 8 “keepers”.
- Captain Chip’s boat was immaculate and well kept.  in addition, he customized his boat for the best fishing experience - like 10+ fishing rod holders for the lines in the water.
- Captain Chip did an surpurb job in staying connected, getting answers (like was the fish cleaning station open at the dock), and being quickly responsive.

Overall - excellent trip and something my grandsons will remember for the rest of their lives.

P.S. See video we took of a bald eagle grabbing a fish 20 yards off the front on the boat as we were fishing.

Captain chip is a uniquely passionate and knowledgeable professional.  His deep understanding of the fishery is something only 5 decades of experience yields.  So many so-called “professionals” have zero passion remaining, because fishing has become a job to them—they want to rush you to your limit so they can get you off the water and get paid as quickly as possible.  Chip is not at all like this, his passion is putting you on FISH and helping you catch a TON.  I highly recommend Chip for your next striper or crappie charter.  I have chartered w many captains, and chip is THE best—with capital THE.  He will put you on fish and show you a trip that you will never forget!!

Had an awesome time fishing with Captain Chip. He had us on the fish for over 3 hours. I would highly recommend Captain Chip if anyone is looking to fish Lake Murray. Can’t wait for a return trip
