About Your Guide

Christopher C.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Independent Guide

Captain Christopher is a seasoned fishing guide with over 20 years of experience. Born and raised near the ocean, Chris developed a deep respect for the sea and its creatures from a young age. He began fishing with his father at just 8 years old and quickly fell in love with the thrill of reeling in a big catch.

Over the years, Chris honed his skills through extensive experience on various types of fishing vessels, from small skiffs to larger boats. He earned his captain's license and began leading fishing excursions for friends, family, and eventually, paying clients. Word of his expertise and infectious enthusiasm spread, and Chris soon built a loyal following of anglers seeking to tap into his knowledge.

As a guide, Chris is known for his patient and instructional approach, making him a favorite among novice and experienced anglers alike. He's passionate about sharing his understanding of fish behavior, habitats, and the intricacies of the ocean ecosystem. Whether targeting a variety of species, Chris's approach combines traditional techniques with modern insights and technology.

When he's not on the water, Chris enjoys sharing stories of his adventures and offering tips through social media and fishing forums. He's also an advocate for sustainable fishing practices and conservation efforts, promoting responsible angling and respect for the marine environment.

With a lifetime of experience and a genuine love for the sport, Captain Christopher is the go-to guide for anyone looking to experience the thrill of fishing.

What’s your favorite band?

Lynyrd Skynyrd — I’ve always liked Southern rock, and their music is hard to beat.

What’s your favorite movie?

I’d probably have to go with Forrest Gump — it’s one of those movies I can watch over and over and never really get tired of.

What’s your favorite sports team?

GA Bulldogs and Atlanta Falcons

What’s your drink of choice?

Sweet Tea

What was your last halloween costume?

I honestly can’t remember the last time I dressed up for Halloween. It’s been quite a while!

What do you want for Christmas this year?

Honestly, I don’t need much for Christmas. I’d like to see Pisces Fishing & Adventures continue to grow, stay busy, and meet more great people who love being on the water. Most of all, I just want good health, time with my family, and plenty of days on the Gulf making memories and number 1 is make sure my family is taken care of and happy.

How did you get started guiding?

I got started guiding because fishing has always been something I’ve really enjoyed, and I wanted to share that experience with other people. I enjoy taking people out, putting them on fish, and especially seeing someone catch a fish they’ve never caught before. Over time, that passion turned into Pisces Fishing & Adventures, and now I get to spend my time helping families and anglers make memories on the water.

What makes you different from other guides?

What makes me different is I’m not just trying to get people on the boat, collect their money, and get them back to the dock. I want everyone to have a good time and enjoy a real day of fishing. I keep my trips small with no more than four customers, so I can spend more time helping each person. I’m family friendly, kids are always welcome, and I’ll work hard to give you the best trip I can every time we leave the dock.

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.
