I had the great pleasure of fishing with Captain Chris recently and it was an experience I will never forget! He knows his water like the back of his hand, and he knows exactly where to take you for the best catches. His expertise in fishing is second to none. He was also very patient with my novice fishing skills, offering great advice throughout our time together.
