My teen son and I spent a great deal of time researching to get the best guide for a flats fishing trip. We don't have a great deal of experience... read more catching Bonefish, Tarpon or Permit and wanted exposure to all of it. I wanted a guide that could teach, not just show. 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.

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.

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. …
