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.

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.

  " 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!
