My friend and I took Chris up on his offer for a days fishing trip. Chris supplied the Rods and all the bait. We met Chris at 5.30am at his marina. We then went off to get the live bait and then off to the Halibut fishing grounds. Chris's boat was great and his knowledge very helpful. There were lots of boats around when we arrived including some of the big party boats. Chris casted out the first rod and litterally as he turned his back to sort out the next rod we got our first fish. Within an hour we had caught limits of 2 Halibut each. We then moved on to try to get some Lin and Rock cod. After about an hour of fishing we had caught 2 Rock Cod and 1 big Lin Cod. With the limit on Halibut we decided we had caught enough. We did actually catch some more Halibut but had to release them all as we had our Limits. On the way back in to the bay to try for some Bass we passed the big party boats still there in the Halibut grounds as they were trying to get limits for everyone on board. I'm so glad I went with Chris rather than the bigger party boat. Chris took a Photo and my friend and I holding up the Halibut with the Golden Gate Bridge as a backdrop.Magic... It was really choppy in the Bay when we were trying for the Bass and after about an hour without catching anything we were very happy to call it a day. When we got back to the marina, Chris offered to fillet our catch and split up all the fillets between my Friend and I. All in all we had a great day. The Price was really good and Chris is such a nice guy. I hope other people take Chris up on his offer and have as good a day as we did.
@@ChrisPfish2 It Really was. I'm coming back to Berkeley next year. I'll drop you a message beforehand to arrange another trip!!!!! In the mean time I'll keep watching out for your videos to pass the time 🙂 I was going to post the Photo you took of Sean and I with the Halibut but you can't post them here 😞
Congrats Chris on your captains license. I was a licensed fishing guide in California back in the 90's and it was quite easy to get back in those days.
Congratulations newly minted Captain! Best of luck in this endeavor. You are a true gentleman as shown on your channel. I’ve got my own boat, but may have to take advantage of a day on the water with you.
Great job Captain Chris. Excellant video explaining the process and what you had to do to get it. Very real and honest video telling the viewers your plan. Great job as always. Chris
Congratulations! Very interesting hearing about the steps and rigor involved with becoming a Captain. Wish you all the best on this new dimension to your fishing career. Inspiring.
Excited for you. I assume you have priced around what the going rate is for charters. I've not but assume your price is a little low. I assume this with gas and paying your crew not sure how you would make any sort of profit margin. You also need to factor insurance, your boat note (if you have one) plus the many other costs many customers don't see or understand. If you are starting low to get a client base that is one thing but if not crunch your numbers. I am in year 14 as a small business owner and it took many years to get confident to charge the going rate. If you offer a good product (which you definetly do, charge the high end going rate, people WILL pay).Good luck growing your busniess. You got this!!!!!
Congratulations Chris been following your channel since day one , although I get extremely C6 so I wouldn't be able to join you on one of your trips but I'll be rooting from you from the surf I frequently hunt the striped bass and perch for my local area here in Monterey
Thank you! Have you tried fishing in SF bay. My wife and daughter get sick on nice ocean days but have never been sick in the bay. There is no swell in the bay unless your very close to GGB.
Congratulations Captain! Excellent job. Please let us know when you have openings. Hopefully salmon season will open sometime and increase your opportunities. My brother in law has his commercial fishing license and his halibut fishing pays for itself. Who knows, maybe that’s in your future once your charters become routine? Again, very good job.
Congrats on your captain license brother ,I kind of knew this was going to happen ever since you purchased your beautiful boat my subscribers would tell me about you having a new boat so I’m like I bet he will one day make a video about him going to charter I nailed it good job brother
Congratulations on your achievement of obtaining your license, I watch your videos all the time and will be contacting you soon to go fishing. Captain Chrispfish
Been subscribed to your channel for a few years now. All I can say is wow & congrats! Would love to go out with you and hook up some Halibut. I will be in touch probably in the coming spring.
I would like to get my Canadian SVOP this Sept, sounds likes it’s the equivalent. Work is a problem tho 😤 did you get to learn about weather, tides and changing seas ? I’ve had 3 bad days in the last 3 years, weather can be very scary on the coast of Vancouver island. I have a boat like your old one….. my boys can’t forget these events. Taking a corse would Make my feel more secure for my family. Any ways, really like your shows and always look forward to them.
Will you also be filleting the catch after the fishing is done, or would the anglers just take the fish home and they're on their own? Guides in south Texas filet the catch after they return to dock so I wasn't sure if this was just a Texas thing or not.
@@ChrisPfish2 Damn, you’re offering a great deal to your future clients! Guide prices in Texas are insane. Btw I filet my own fish but definitely let the guide do it when I book a trip 😉
I like your journey Chris. Quick Question did you name her. You’ll catch fish out of her. After you name her. And pray a small prayer. The Fish Will Overflow You’re Live Well. Well It Works 4 Me Kid. If shit ever hits the fan N you find yourself about to die. Most of us call out to God 4 Help. Remember Sharks eat life jacket like we eat catch up on french fries.
more or less the honor system. You need proof you have owned a boat for the hours you claim. If you use a different boat you need the owner to sign off on it.

honor system basically. You need to own a boat and proof that. I have had a family boat since 2000 and my own boat since 2018. Or have people sign under oath you were on there's.

Good for you Chris!
Excited to see you taking some big risks to grow.
Can’t wait to see it all come together!
Congrats, I'll book a trip just because of your efforts.
Congratulations Chris. Good luck on the new endeavor.

I appreciate it. Yeah probably makes more sense to people now why I have the boat and keep it in the slip.
San Fran is a crowded market to get into. The YT channel will probably give you an edge. Best of luck for you.
Thank you

Way to go Chris. Might need to book a tuna trip. I’m heading to San Diego in a few weeks for a 3 day.
Good luck down there. Message/email me if you want to get on my tuna list. Thanks for all the support over the years.
I’d absolutely pay Chris to do a fishing trip 💯🙌🔥
Been subscribed to your channel for a few years now. All I can say is wow & congrats! Would love to go out with you and hook up some Halibut. I will be in touch probably in the coming spring.
If you are not living on the edge, you take up too much space :) Congrats Cap!
Congrats on your license guiding is fun and rewarding most of the time but be aware some people just suck

Congratulations ChrisPfish!
Are you going by ChrisP Charters?

I've been watching you for awhile n it looks like fun what's needed for a trip with you???

yes you learn about the weather and tides. Thanks for watching and never hurts to further educate yourself.
Congratulations Chris
Reservation Chris for your captain license thank you for the information
Boat is a wright off now!! 😂
Thats right, got a business license!
How do you prove time on the water?
Will you also be filleting the catch after the fishing is done, or would the anglers just take the fish home and they're on their own?
Guides in south Texas filet the catch after they return to dock so I wasn't sure if this was just a Texas thing or not.
yes I will fillet fish.
@@ChrisPfish2 Damn, you’re offering a great deal to your future clients! Guide prices in Texas are insane. Btw I filet my own fish but definitely let the guide do it when I book a trip 😉
I would love to go out fishing with you
Catch and cook video please?
next one most likely. Already filmed it. Not what you would expect either. Thanks for watching
I like your journey Chris.
Quick Question did you name her.
You’ll catch fish out of her.
After you name her.
And pray a small prayer.
The Fish Will Overflow You’re Live Well.
Well It Works 4 Me Kid.
If shit ever hits the fan N you find yourself about to die.
Most of us call out to God 4 Help.
Remember Sharks eat life jacket like we eat catch up on french fries.
That's awesome you studied real hard to get your license. Good luck on the charter, Hope Eric's Is one of you're deckhands (captain)😊
You can request him :) Thank you
Do u take people fishing? Going be in San Francisco in October for week
yes sir. My contact info is in the the video and also description.
Are you in the bay area?
So how do you document prove the days on boat?
more or less the honor system. You need proof you have owned a boat for the hours you claim. If you use a different boat you need the owner to sign off on it.
@@ChrisPfish2 ahh okay fair enough!
How do you prove your time on the water?
more or less the honor system. You need proof you have owned a boat for the hours you claim. If you use a different boat you need the owner to sign off on it.
CONGRATS Chris!! THATS MY DREAM JOB! Let me know what a tuna trip would cost to go with you?
tuna trips are $450. call/text/email me your contact to get on the list.
Are you getting any albies
been twice. Did well both times. working on videos...
Where will you be operating from,San Fran ,fort bragg ?
Paradise harbor in SF bay and bodega bay. Fort bragg for albacore but wont have a slip there.
@@ChrisPfish2 that's awesome Chris may you have giant success,I'm rooting for you and who knows I hopefully can help you in that success one day !
Are you drifting or trolling for halibut n how fast?
trolling. speed varies between 0.5-3.5mph depending on the currents direction. If there was no current, something like 2mph. Thanks for watching
Would love to fish with you some time Hustle to fish let make some content
how the heck do you prove time on the water?
honor system basically. You need to own a boat and proof that. I have had a family boat since 2000 and my own boat since 2018. Or have people sign under oath you were on there's.
Ab, actually not bad. I’ve owned 3 boats since 2018, so guess I could explore it in the future.
What autopilot do you have?
garmin reactor 40. Any questions call Reel Custom Boat Works in Stockton CA. He knows all about them. Put mine in
Have you got a name for the boat yet?
Its getting a ChrisPfish logo with a youtube symbol.
How much pse person
