Captain Chris is an extremely professional, humble and knowledgeable guide. I have fished with him several times a year for the past 5 seasons. He has a great... read more sense of humor and makes being on the water a pleasurable experience no matter the conditions. I started as a novice and with his guidance, I became keen on flyfishing. His patience to teach proper fly/spin angling techniques allows clients an advantage when targeting the big 3. This guide has extensive and thorough knowledge of the flats fisheries throughout the FL. Keys, be it backcountry or oceanside. Days spent fishing with Chris make for the most memorable experiences, and trust that he will put you on fish. There are many guides in the keys, but I choose Chris for his demeanor and all-around good person. Book a trip with MudPuppy Charters to experience the best sight fishing in a world-class fishery.

After many trips with him over the past two years, I can confidently say Chris is the most enjoyable guide I’ve ever fished with. You can’t throw a rock in... read more the Keys without hitting three guides, but you’d be hard pressed to find one more deserving of your time, money, and trust.
Of course, he knows where the fish live. In a single day last month, we had legitimate shots at bonefish, permit, snook, and redfish, and he’s put me on fish every single day we’ve gone out. His knowledge of the area, the fish, and the other wildlife is unparalleled.
More importantly though (at least to me), he’s just an awesome person to spend a day with. He genuinely wants his clients to have a good time, and it shows. His skiff is immaculate, and, during the times in between shots, he’s such an easy person to talk to. As proof, my wife came with us on my first trip with him, and he got plus points for not only making her feel welcome, but also striking up conversations that she could participate in. I can’t wait for my next few days on his bow.
Book a trip (or several) with him. You won’t regret it.

You will not find a Captain who works harder to put you on fish or who is more knowledgeable than Chris. If u are looking to sight fish with... read more fly or spinning rods for bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook, redfish, etc. you won't be happier. Both a serious angler and someone looking to experience flats fishing for the first time will be impressed with the professionalism and enjoyment from a trip with Chris. He is on the water every day that conditions allow and that pays huge dividends for anyone fishing with him. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly...and I have had the opportunity to fish with all skill levels and ages with him. It's a great trip everytime. …
