Chris creates an incredibly welcoming atmosphere that makes every trip feel special, whether you're bringing kids or adults who rarely catch fish.

Trip - on March 29, 2024

Despite the windy conditions, Captain Chris stuck with us, trying multiple spots and a variety of baits. He was incredibly patient with our Minnesota crew, which included three kids under 16, and took the time to teach us not only about fishing but also the local ecosystem and wildlife. While we didn’t catch loads of fish, his effort and dedication made the trip worthwhile, and we left with enough for a great fish taco dinner with our group. We had an awesome time and would definitely book with Captain Chris again. Thanks, Chris!

Trip - Half Day Morning Guided Fishing Trip On South Padre Island - Snook, Flounder And More on August 1, 2022

I took my wife and three children (10,11,14) on this trip and it was an amazing experience. We all caught a fish and Captain Cole gave us great pointers and conversation. I would recommend this fishing experience to anyone especially those fisherman like me who don’t normally come back back with any fish. Great time kids loved it and want to do it again next summer.
