I’m Captain Chris. I’ve lived on the coast fishing my entire life. Grew up fishing the ocean and bays. I have 35 years of personal fishing experience and 5 years professional guiding experience. I’m a very laid back individual. Love taking kids fishing, as I was a kid myself wanting to fish all the time. Customers can expect making great memories catching fish of different species and we may even get your personal best!

I sometimes run a deckhand depending on the trip length and duration of the trip. I’ve been married many years/decades and have 4 boys total. We all love the outdoors. Whether it’s fishing, hunting or exploring the outdoors.

We had an absolutely amazing time fishing with Chris B! 🎣 Chris was awesome from start to finish—so helpful, patient, and genuinely kind to our kids and our whole family as we learned to fish offshore for the first time.

He especially went above and beyond to help my son get a BIG one on, and they succeeded before we left! Watching my son experience that moment was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. ❤️

We had so much fun, caught plenty of good fish to bring home and eat, and most importantly, got to make some incredible memories together as a family. Seeing my boys enjoy the experience and learn something new made the trip even more special.

If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing, is great with kids, and genuinely wants you to have a great experience, we highly recommend Chris B! 🎣🐟 We’ll definitely be back!
