Ratings & Reviews Summary
October 14, 2024
Our time in Florida was made so much better by a chance suggestion at a bait shop to call one of the best, Chris Acey at Cast Crank Catch Fishing Guides. We had two charters cancel on us and couldn't have been luckier in the outcome. While I hadn't initially considered having a guide for surf fishing, I'm so glad we did. No 40 minute/hour drive out deep to cast a line for fish you usually cannot keep them the drive back.... We were fishing immediately and learning a lot. While we fish regularly through the yr from ice fishing, chasing bass around a farm pond or Koho in Lake Michigan we quickly realized our wrongs of surf fishing on our own. We had a blast, Chris is a gem of a person and my boys made me promise to schedule time w him no matter where we end up next year. Of all of our charters, his surf fishing time with us is by far our favorite. Thank you Chris, you saved the day(s)! Best, Jen, Gage and Seve

I recommend going out with Chris! They call it fishing for a reason not everyday is going to be non stop catching, but Chris will work hard to get you on fish. Also check out his bait set up and the local bait shop!!! Pompano!!!
