Chuck C Carter - #1 Fishing Guide This picture depicts “Classic Capt. Chuck.” His favorite fishing trip? With friends and family! Here he is with our son, Chase, daughter, Caitlin, and friend Ross.

This picture is obviously from several years ago, but if you ever launched your boat at Froggies, you probably saw Chuck … most likely, cleaning fish!

Usually big ones, like these.

Chuck’s guiding days are over, but he still enjoys taking his kids and friends out when the weather permits. His new slogan: ‘If it’s blowing, Chuck ain’t goin’.’

Chuck went back to school in the 1990’s, got his degree in Electronics and is now an Authorized Garmin Dealer and owns and operates a Coastal Boat Services that sells and installs Marine Electronics, 2244 W. Adams Ave., in Port O’Connor.

Give him a call at 361-983-4371.
