The trip was AMAZING! CPT Arturo was AWESOME! He was very professional and friendly, we had 4 adults and 2 kids. He worked his butt off the entire time and we caught a TON of fish. We had some weather roll in and he was very flexible with options and what we wanted to do. Highly recommend him, clearly knowledgeable and experienced in the area!

Booked last minute day before and had a great time! Captain Marc was super chill, fun, and helpful! He got us out there on some reds and trout in a couple different spots and let us get at it. Most impressive thing was how quick he’d get us set up to have lines in the water as much as possible, whether it was putting new bait on, getting a fish off the hook, or fixing a rod up if it was tangled, we always had a line in. Very cool boat with plenty of space to get after it!

My son and I had an unforgettable saltwater fishing adventure with Captain Chu Dog! The captain's expertise, patience, and passion made our experience truly exceptional. Captain Chu Dog's knowledge of the waters and fishing techniques ensured we were always in the right spot. Clean, well-maintained gear made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. The captain tailored the trip to our needs, making sure we both had a blast. Captain Chu Dog's enthusiasm was contagious, and his stories about the marine life added depth to our experience. Watching my son reel in his first saltwater catch was priceless! Heck, even I reeled in my first saltwater catch. If you're seeking a professional, fun, and family-friendly fishing experience, look no further than Captain Chu Dog. We can't wait to book our next trip!
