About Your Guide

Chris A.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Independent Guide

Your Captain, Chris, has been fishing his whole life from the Great Lakes in Ohio to the Bay and offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Chris first learned how to freshwater fish from his dad and grandpa while in Ohio, until they moved down to Brownsville, where he picked up his favorite hobby, saltwater fishing. Chris gained not only the knowledge of fishing from his dad but also the passion to teach others, so they can find true joy in fishing as he does. Captain Chris has continued that tradition by teaching his three daughters and his two grandchildren how to fish and be a responsible conservationist. He started out with a lifelong dream of becoming a fishing guide and has achieved that dream! He loves putting people on fish and seeing the joy of catching their 1st fish or the 100th fish! We are a small charter that prides itself on putting customers first and treating everyone that steps on our boats as family.

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?

The biggest fish I have ever caught was a 95" Scalloped Hammerhead Shark in the Gulf of Mexico. He was way too big to get on the boat and 5" too short to keep!

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

I do a fish fry once a year when we have a large party at the house. Other than that, normally just make burgers on the grill.

What’s your favorite band?

Metallica is my favorite rock band. I listen to all kinds of music though, but have to say the old school Metallica is my favorite.

What’s your favorite movie?

My favorite movie is Top Gun and Top Gun 2.

What’s your favorite sports team?

Don't really watch sports that much unless it is fishing, lol!

What’s your drink of choice?

My drink of choice is Coke or Pepsi.

What was your last halloween costume?

Haven't had one of those since I was a kid. I think the last one I had one was a racecar driver. Which is another passion of mine, I have raced dirt track cars for over 20 years off and on.

What do you want for Christmas this year?

More fishing equipment or as my wife calls them, 'toys' lol.

How did you get started guiding?

Have always wanted to even when I was a kid. I had a chance to take the leap and start my own business a couple of years ago. So, I took this opportunity to live my dream and have my ideal dream job.

What makes you different from other guides?

I don't know about different but to me it's more of a passion than a job to me. For me it's watching the pure excitement of someone catching their 1st fish, biggest fish or even the 100th fish. To me a guide should be more about the passion of taking customers fishing and teaching the young and old anglers the importance conservation as well as some fishing tips. When you step on my boat, you're a guest, but when you step back off the boat your family. It's all about making memories.

Everything Else to Know

☑ VALID fishing license for anyone 17 and older
We have run into a few time people forgot or didn't realize they had to have one. This takes up fishing time so be sure to have it before you come to the dock.

☑ Motion Sickness Preventative
- Please consult with your doctor about any seasickness/motion sickness medicine even if you have never experienced seasickness before. If you are a person who does, there are over the counter medications that work but please consult your medical doctor to be sure the right one for you.

☑ Daily Medication
Please bring any daily prescriptions you will need for the day. We suggest a waterproof bag or bottle to keep them in. Would also suggest bringing extra just in case of a dropped pill, weather or mechanical problem delays return time.

☑ Small cooler
Please bring a cooler and keep it in the vehicle that has been filled with ice to keep your catch cold on the way home.

☑ Food and Beverages
No glass, snacks, lunch items with bag type cooler. We suggest things like sandwiches, crackers, or cold fried chicken, some fruit (no red or staining fruit like strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or oranges, they leave stains on the boat white surfaces). You want something quick and easy so you can go back to fishing!

☑ Sun protection
Sunblock, polarized sunglasses, hat, cooling towel or bandana, neck gaiter, lip balm, long sleeve fishing shirts (light weight shirts), hand towels, rain gear.

☑ Non-Slip Shoes
Non-marking sole shoes/sandals, water type shoes are the best to wear.

☑ Camera
Be sure to bring a camera, Go Pro, or phone! Make sure it is fully charged! So you can get those memory shots!

☑ Cash
Cash on hand ensures that you can tip the deckhand for cleaning, bagging your fish, and assisting you throughout your trip.

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

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 7 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account. Cancelling within 7 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.
