About Your Trip

My trips are based on your, you the guests wants. You pay me so I want to give you the best time possible. Ladies I have a private potty for you and children if needed but fellas toss it over the side. Stand close you may not be what you think you are. Please don't bring spray sunscreen or your own rods. Limit coolers and bags. These things crowd even the largest boats. I'm not a fan of "target species" only because Mother Nature sometimes disagrees and we need a plan B. I always joke we're fishing for whatever bites and looking for X. I'm game for everything as far as the experience you want. Bait fishing, sight fishing etc. My only rule is have fun.

About Your Guide

Chris D.

Independent Guide

I'm a fun loving guy who believes the day is already great when you leave the dock with the hopes of that 1 cast leaving a lifetime memory. I, like most Captains and Guides, have fulfilled my dream of pursuing my passion for fishing,the water, and adventure. I enjoy every trip especially the ones that start with " I've never really fished before". The Grandfather in me loves having kids out teaching them and making sure the day is about them, sorry adults. I, in kind, like learning new things from my guests. Anglers should never think they know it all. With me, we will fish like old family and friends. My goal is to show you a good day on the water and it goes without saying the pursuit of BIG fish and MANY fish. Mother nature dictates the rest.

How did you get started guiding?

People started asking me if they could pay me to take them out? I was clueless as a tournament angler so had them pay all my cost. I realized it was getting time to dive in and be professional. LIve the dream and quit the Corporate job.

What makes you different from other guides?

I hear stories from guests about Guides and Captains getting angry about bad casts and other mistakes that cost fish as if it costs them anything accept ruining a groups fun day. My goal is to entertain some, gently offer advice, listen to new ideas, and be a good host, good ole Southern Hospitality.

Techniques

Everything Else to Know

Everything is included, but we also recommend bringing sunglasses, non spray sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and anything else you might want on the trip. Ice and water is provided however feel free to bring beer etc. Yes you can smoke. Just but butts in a can etc. Also limit coolers and bags to a minimum or use my boat cooler. Space is a premium. LADIES I do have a potty! My license covers 4 anglers so larger groups will need to plan accordingly. Please bring life vests for children if possible.

You're all set! You don't need to buy a license for this trip.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

Cancel for free up to 24 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account. Cancelling within 24 of the trip will forfeit your deposit to the guide. Day-of cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full balance of the trip to their card.

In the event of inclement weather you'll be covered by out 100% Weather Guarantee and will not lose your deposit.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
