Background
Captain Chip has 40 years of fishing experience and grew up fishing in Inlet. He is a local expert and has been working on different boats for over 20 years. He recently decided to become a charter operator – he loves using his skills and meeting lots of different people. He enjoys spending time out on the water, making his customers smile, making their dreams come true, and most importantly, helping them catch their first fish!
