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 .

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.

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...

Chris was a great captain. Found water out of the wind. Found plenty of fish. Chis was cheerful and very helpful with baiting hooks and boating fish. Very hardworking captain. His boat was immaculate and he gave us a quick safety course before we launched.

Captain Chris was amazing! He taught everyone how to properly fish and catch fish. We caught plenty of fish even though he said it was a light day. We were pretty excited to get a wide variety of fish including a couple different groupers and some nurse sharks. Hopefully his new term for the nurse shark will follow him on many voyages to come!

This was our 3rd trip with Chris that week. While all were memorable, this one ranks with a lifetime best. You can't control the fish, and as always, Chris put in maximum effort. However, on this day, the fish cooperated. My son landed a 45 pound Cobia, we had a couple large Mutton Snappers, a pair of King Mackerels, and a bonus Amberjack. Simply amazing day!

As I am tucking them in to bed tonight, they want to know when we can do that again! He got special mention in their bedtime prayers...

We just got back prior to me writing this. Captain Chris, hands down is the best guide I have booked with. He is professional, positive, and driven. He worked incredibly hard to put us on fish, and stayed later than he would have been required. He is very knowledgeable. I am thrilled we have two more days booked this week.
