Christopher Cole

Member since September 2019 Port Isabel, United States
Background
Captain Chris Cole has been fishingThe Lower Laguna Madre since childhood. He loves nothing more than taking customers who have never caught a fish (or have never caught a big fish!) out to explore the bay. He feels privileged that he gets to introduce these fishing grounds to people who have never seen the Lower Laguna Madre or have never been on a boat. Seeing how these customers react to their experience reminds him to never take his love for the bay for granted! As well as running charters, he also participates in all the major tournaments this area provides. He's more than equipped to take you on the adventure of a lifetime, and can't wait to welcome you on board!
Techniques
I customize my technique to my customers. I will fish whatever way I feel best suits their level of fishing and won’t ask them to do something that they are not comfortable with. I specialize in families with children so as to teach the kid’s allowing the parents the opportunity too fish ?
