How did you get started guiding?
Fishing has always been a big part of life form an early age . My grandfather Papa Jack used to take me fishing in Montauk , and fort Myers’s Florida . I absolutely Loved the Florida fishing and vowed to pick up where we left off. Right out of college moved to naples Florida fished with an inshore guide to learn all I could , and eventually got the opportunity to live in the keys working on a large yacht and sport fish with a great offshore fishing program. Did that for nearly 11 years where I acquired my license, and had the opportunity to fish from Dominican Republic, to bar harbor Maine , and everywhere in between .
What makes you different from other guides?
I absolutely love what I do . As much as I get pumped to catch a fish I really get pumped putting my clients on fish! Additionally I also offer catch and cook options , and free recipes as I also have a culinary background . I’m a generally positive person and truly enjoy every opportunity to share my passion for boating, fishing and cooking with everyone I can .

Captain Chris gave us an amazing trip!!!! My family of 5 had experience ranging from years of fishing to never holding a rod, but he helped everyone as needed, setting everyone up with the right rod and bait for their ability and we all caught a wide variety of fish at several spots. He also recommended a great restaurant to cook our catch for lunch. Super cool guy, very knowledgeable, a great

Our team of 6 went inshore fishing and got plenty of mangrove snappers! The captain Chris was very informative and friendly. He took us to different spots to catch fish and get a nice breezy ride with amazing scenery of Florida keys.

Had an absolute blast with Captain Chris! He was so nice and his passion and love for fishing made my bachelorette trip worthwhile! Our crew got to catch some great mackerel, yellowtail snapper and mutton snapper, plus more! Being able to celebrate my love for fishing and send off in the Keys with my gfs and Chris was the best! He got me on a huge tarpon hook up that I’ll absolutely never forget. Highly...

We had a great full day trip with Captain Chris. Chris really helped my wife with his patience and encouragement fight big fish in deep water and use lighter tackle at the shallower wreck. She landed nice yellowtail, yellow jack, mackerel and amberjack. Chris worked hard all day keeping us in fish and rigged as the shark tax was high though the morning. At the end of the day we got great local restaurant recommendations...

We had a great full day trip with Captain Chris. Chris really helped my wife with his patience and encouragement fight big fish in deep water and use lighter tackle at the shallower wreck. She landed nice yellowtail, yellow jack, mackerel and amberjack. Chris worked hard all day keeping us in fish and rigged as the shark tax was high though the morning. At the end of the day we got great local restaurant recommendations and tips on cooking our catch. Loved the boat playlist! Highly recommend and hope to come back to fish with Chris again.
