Born in Bradenton, Captain Kris Winkel was boating and fishing before he could even swim and has been a professional fishing guide for over 18 years. He intimately knows the waters surrounding Bradenton, specifically Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, and Sarasota Bay. Capt Kris has spent countless days and nights fishing these waters, pursuing his passion.
Captain Kris fishes in Bradenton all through the year. When he is not charter fishing or just fishing for himself, he fishes commercially for Ladyfish, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, and Mullet during the Fall run. Fishing for Mullet is a passion for Kris, and he loves catching them on the flats, chasing them to the passes and even out into the gulf!
