Charles Mckenzie5.0VerifiedNEWBest two days of fishing ever
3/4 Day Trip • 1 adultCap Chip Matthews is a highly skilled and knowledgeable captain of the Waters around Jupiter Florida put me on fish right away the first day never caught a snook before and it was a bucket list of mine to go snook fishing caught like eight or nine snook a nice flounder that was unexpectedand my personal best which is not saying much for me since I had never caught a snook before the biggest was about 38 inches It’ll be my personal best until I go again. I would recommend lucky Chip Matthews to anybody that would like to fish with him.

Eric Fleming5.0VerifiedAmazing Time!
Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adultsI can't say enough about Cpt. Chip and our time on the water. I've chartered a few captains but never met such a passionate, patient, knowledgeable captain and fisherman. My son (13 years -old) and I had an incredible day! When you look for a guide, I strongly recommend that you find someone who really cares about the region, environment, the fisheries. Chip took the time to instruct and really tailored a perfect experience to enrich and deepen mine and my son's love for fishing. We caught snook, tarpon, jack, snapper and a few kitty cats, of course. Thank you, Cpt. Chip, for a perfect day!

Paul HaleRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Sunday Morning Fishing Trip
3/4 Day Trip • 2 adultsChip is an excellent and professional guide. He is freindly, knowledgeable, experienced, and cares about the service he delivers. My target was Snook. I also like catching new species. He keyed in on that and put me on some various ones including Blue Runners. I had a blast catching many of each along with Jack Crevalle and Mangrove Snappers. Easy going and hard working is a great combination to have in a guide. I recommend him and will add that the Burt Reynolds Park Marina is among the cleanest and best maintained I have seen around the nation-nice, secure and functional. If you are in Florida on the east coast, book with Chip.
Reported catch:Response from Captainthank you for the kind words Paul it was a great time spending time on the water with you

Im am visiting from Connecticut and never have caught Florida species of fish, captain Chip changed that for me. Chip put me and my buddy on many diffrent species of fish and it was a blast, so many first time catches for the both of us! we caught snook,catfish,jacks, moon fish,mangrove snapper and a flonder. Captain chip was awesome and was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was a 10/10 trip, book lucky chip charters if you wanna get some tightlines!

What's biting with Lucky Chip Charters in Jupiter
The fishing action starts to heat up as the weather cools down. Expect to see the first Sailfish appearing as the water temperatures reach the high 70's or low 80's. Inshore, Redfish peaks as it gorges on migrating finger mullet.
