Without a doubt, the most exceptional captain I've ever fished with. Incredibly knowledgeable, swift, and efficient, he ensured our comfort and success despite challenging weather conditions. We reeled in a bounty of Triple Tail before spending hours in pursuit of redfish. Already planning my next trip!

Captain Chris guided my wife and me to some impressive catches. We quickly reeled in four keeper triple tail within the first hour, ranging from 19 to 27 inches. Thanks for an unforgettable day on the water!
