Chris Davy

Member since September 2017 Palm Coast, United States
Background
I grew up in Nashville, TN, before it was cool. As a small kid, we fished every pond and creek within 20 miles of my house, often by horseback. Certainly, it was different times, but my passion for finding fish never changed. Then it was Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Rainbow and Brown Trout, along with Crappie and Catfish. As a teenager, I fished on a boat called Honey Chile in Sarasota/Longboat Key, FL. It was there I learned the pursuit of “big fish.” I knew then when I was old enough, I'd be heading to FL to live and fish. I always wanted to be a professional fisherman and, in the mid 90's began tournament fishing for Kingfish. The adventure took on a life of its own, and by 2012 I started hosting the Southern Sportsman Radio Show in Flagler County and did so for 8 years. Fishing and being a guide is my life, and the real reason I do it, and love it, is to be a special part of other people’s memories with family and friends.
Techniques
I do all types of fishing. Some of you folks are artificial purests but, sometimes that's not the best technique for success. I fish to the skill level of my customers. A family with 2 young children will obviously be set up different than experienced anglers. My job is to put you in the best situation to catch fish, have a good time and enjoy the day on the water.
