My family had an amazing time! Chris was on time, super friendly, and great with the kids. Very helpful and made sure everyone had fun. They caught tarpon, snook, trout, and lady fish! Perfect for families—highly recommend! We will be booking again for next year’s spring break! Thanks for a great day of fishing!
Chris was an excellent guide throughout the entire trip. He demonstrated over a decade of local expertise and was really knowledgeable and attentive to all of our questions. On top of that he was promptly baiting hooks and adjusting tackle for each situation. He was assertive yet very patient and respectful of skill levels.
We also had a lot of questions about doing an offshore trip in the future and Chris demonstrated a unique and thorough expertise.
This was my first saltwater fishing trip so I don't have anyone to compare to, but I have zero doubt that Chris is among the best. I will have zero hesitation booking with Chris for any inshore or offshore trip with full confidence that the trip will be exceptionally productive.
