Member since August 2019 St. Petersburg, United States

Background: I've been fishing and diving Florida waters for over 35 years. After spending many years trolling the Atlantic, I discovered the joys of bottom fishing in the Gulf. The variety of fish and excellent table fare of fishing reefs and wrecks in the Gulf cannot be beat. As an avid spearfisher and diver, I have enjoyed exploring the ocean floor from the Caribbean to the Hawaiian Islands, and have found no better place to fish or dive than our own Gulf waters. It's a lifelong passion of mine so I decided to turn my passion into a career and have enjoyed every minute of it.

Full Day Trip

captain and first mate where kind, but i find it odd that they fish when you are paying them to take you fishing. i got tangled a couple times with first mate. no live bait, took a wrong turn when headed out and ran skag into the sand. It seemed like all they where worried about was putting fish in the cooler, and not catching quality fish. my Uncle that went with us waited over an hour to meet up with captin to get the fish fillets and he never showed up. he was parked in the same spot...

Sorry you didn’t enjoy yourself. We did try to put you on some good fish. The weather kept us from going out deep. So we improvised and allowed you to catch some nice snapper and mahi. We did have live bait and you caught several grouper. We tried to teach you how to catch the fish and not to set the hook but you didn’t seem to master that. So we helped you to put fish in the box. I brought all the fish over to where we agreed to meet at the marina but you weren’t there. I called you... More

A friend and I took the boys out to get some fish for fish Tacos. Well we will be eating tacos for days. We had an awesome day on the water. Caught fish after fish. If they stopped biting Captian Chris was on the move to the next hot spot. We caught plenty for tacos and then went trolling for kings. Within seconds of getting the trolling lines down we had on a double. We proceeded to catch a king on every pass till we said that’s good enough. I will be booking with him again... More
