" Ein unvergesslicher Tag" - Als ich für eine längere Zeit die Florida Keys besuchte, stand fest einen Tag auf dem Meer zu verbringen um über die Fazination Sportfischen zu lernen. Ich bin immernoch begeistert... read more über die Vielfalt der Tierarten, die ich während meines Boottrips zusehen bekam. Das ich keine Vorkenntnisse im angeln hatte, war kein Problem. Chris erklärte mir alles sehr geduldig und brachte mich unter Anweisungen zu meinem ersten Fischfang. Er hat ein unglaubliches Wissen über die Umgebung, er steuert sein Boot mit einer Leichtigkeit die faziniert ist. Denn unter Wasser ist es uneben etc. aber er kennt jeden Winkel und somit bekam ich die Chance viele Orte zusehen, die mir sonst verborgen geblieben wären. Der Tag war auch deshalb so wunderbar, weil Chris eine so positive Austrahlung hat und das zusammen mit der Proffesionalität, erfüllte alle meine Erwartungen. Wenn ihr auf der Suche nach einem aufregenden Tagestrip seit, bei dem ihr sogar noch viel lernen könnt- mudpuppycharters ist die richtige Wahl.
Ich werde wieder kommen!

Flats boats are small/close quarters so it's also important to pick someone who is personable. Chris exceeded my expectations on all accounts, delivered an experience on the flats we will never forget. He's the right choice for any group, most strongly recommended.

My husband and I just finished two 3-day fishing trips with Capt Chris Jones of MudPuppy Charters. It wasn't our first trip and it certainly won't be our last.... read more We have been fishing 1-3 days trips, as well as tournments with Capt Chris for 9 years now and he NEVER DISAPPOINTS us. As a fishing guide he's almost too good to be true. He wants you to catch fish every bit as much as you do. Mind you, if you don't catch any fish, I can almost guarantee it's because of the angler, since Capt Chris always seems to do his job by finding the fish for you.... the rest is up to you; but don't worry, he will walk you through every step towards success if you need it. Aside from knowing the waters and the keys fish like the back of his hand, he has a wonderful personality that will make your trip one you won't forget and will want to repeat as often as possible. Can it get any better? - the answer is yes. he understands the need to protect the environment and conserve the fish population. Check out mudpuppycharters on Instagram and see for yourself. He brings his GoPro with him and you could find yourself and your big catch on his site. …
