Meet the Business Owner: Capt. Geoff C.
Although I had grown up fishing the waters of Michigan, I didn't officially become a professional guide until I was offered an opportunity to become an Orvis endorsed fly fishing guide back in 1998. Here I spent many years guiding the rivers of the Colorado Rockies, for well known outfits such as The Blue Quill Angler and Elk Trout Lodge. As this was usually a seasonal gig, I spent my winters working as a guide and stables operations manager for Vail Resorts, at the Keystone Stables.
After moving to Naples from Colorado in 2006, I decided to work on getting my captains license. While doing so, I spent a significant amount of time learning the waters in and around the Naples area. Finally, when I felt proficient enough in my knowledge of the local waters, I decided it was high time to open my long dreamed about fishing charter service initially named Gone Fishin Charters of SWFL. Deciding that the name was too generic, I changed it to Chasin' Tales Fishing Charters in 2013.
