Meet Captain Chris Davy, the seasoned and skilled captain at the helm of Southern Fried Charters. With years of experience navigating the waters of Steinhatchee, Captain Chris is renowned for his deep knowledge of local fishing spots and marine life. His passion for fishing and commitment to providing exceptional experiences make every trip with Southern Fried Charters not just an outing, but a memorable adventure. Guiding anglers of all skill levels, Captain Chris ensures that each guest aboard Southern Fried Charters leaves with not only a great catch but also unforgettable stories. Captain Chris Davy's lifelong passion for fishing traces back to his childhood in Nashville, TN, where he honed his skills in the local ponds and creeks. His pursuit of larger catches began in his teens aboard the Honey Chile in Sarasota/Longboat Key, Florida, marking the start of his dream to become a professional fisherman. This ambition led him to compete in kingfish tournaments in the mid-90s. By 2012, Captain Chris expanded his horizons by hosting the Southern Sportsman Radio Show in Flagler County, a role he embraced for eight years. His career as a guide and captain with Southern Fried Charters is not just a profession but a calling. For Captain Chris, the essence of being a fishing guide transcends monetary rewards; it's about the freedom of the open water and the joy of sharing his deep-rooted love for fishing with others. His greatest reward comes from crafting unforgettable experiences for people, leaving them with cherished memories and stories to share. This, to Captain Chris, is the true value of his work – an occupation that is truly priceless. Captain Chris Davy is versatile in his fishing approach, catering to a wide range of preferences and techniques. He understands that while some anglers are committed to artificial lures, this method isn’t always universally effective. His expertise lies in adapting each fishing trip to the skill levels of his customers. For instance, a trip involving a family with young children is approached differently compared to one with experienced anglers. His primary objective is to ensure that all his guests are placed in the best possible situation to catch fish, have a great time, and thoroughly enjoy their day on the water.
