I cannot say enough positive things about Captain Chris. We caught more fish than we could count and all 5 members of my family had a wonderful time. For my son’s 12th birthday, my wife and I (as well as our 10 year old son and 17 year old daughter) went out on Lake Wylie to catch catfish. All of us caught a slew of catfish bigger than my 10 year old. Captain Chris educated us about fishing in the area and the lake in particular. He explained the best areas to catch fish and the best techniques to use to do so. He then took us out to the middle of the lake to catch white perch and crappie. Captain Chris is a genuinely nice man. He is very interested in all members of the charter being engaged and having a wonderful time on the water. He also gave a variety of recommendations for dinner. We drove 90 minutes (each way) to go on the water with Captain Chris and we would gladly do it again. If you are looking to fish Lake Wylie or to catch catfish in general, please reach out to Captain Chris and the Carolina Angler.

Today we had an excursion on Lake Wylie with Captain Chris. The entire trip was enjoyable. Chris provided instruction, technique, knowledge of the lake, and most importantly, patience and kindness toward our children, who are inexperienced at fishing. They caught several white perch and crappy, but also quite a few catfish - even a 15 pounder! Our kids were so excited! We highly recommend and can’t wait for our next day on the lake with him.

We booked a birthday fishing trip with Carolina Angler for my 13-year-old son, and it was hands down the best fishing experience we’ve ever had — way better than trips we’ve done in Florida!

Captain Chris was absolutely fantastic. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and he taught us so much about the fish we were catching — how to spot them, understand their habits, and why certain baits work best. His love for fishing and the lake really shows.

We had an amazing day on the water and caught so much fish — around 8 catfish and close to 100 perch! This was way more than we’ve ever caught before. Chris had all the right gear, bait, and tips. He was especially great with the kids — helping them bait the hooks, cast properly, and take fish off the lines.

My son said it was the best birthday fishing trip ever, and I couldn’t agree more.

If you’re looking for a fun, educational, and action-packed fishing trip, don’t think twice — book with Carolina Angler! You won’t be disappointed. Top notch guide. Five stars all the way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks again, Captain Chris!

Chris was great. he was Incredibly knowledgeable on the area, and put us on fishing within 10 minutes on the water. His boat is well equipped and my son enjoyed hearing about what signs to look for with wearher and wind patterns. We will be back!

All my son wanted for his bday was to fish with a few of his close friends. The family goes on a fishing trip in Florida every year with the same captain, so I knew replicating that was going to be hard to find. Well…..captain Chris did not disappoint. Even through the 40 degree windy weather, the boys caught lots of fish. Our son loved every moment of it and his friends couldn’t stop talking about it when they got home. We will definitely book another trip with Chris again.
