CAPTAIN CHRIS HANSON

Captian Chris Hanson has been fishing these waters for over thirty years. Being a native, Captain Chris Hanson is very familiar with the area and the species found in the local waters. As a kid Captain Chris, his friends and his girlfriend would fish the surrounding area, every weekend. With the arrival of his first boat came the ability to explore the shallows bays and mangrove islands that connect the waters off of Monroe County. Which include Everglades National park, Florida Bay and the Atlantic Shoreline.

When Captain Chris's wasn't exploring the waters with his friends, and girlfriend, he could be found working at "Bill's Bait and Tackle". It was there Captian Chris was like a sponge, soaking up all the sea worthy knowledge of the local captains before him. Most captains were willing to share and teach him. Some captains were Local legends. Whether he was learning to tie knots, or which hook and jig to use. Captain was always looking to catch the next great catch. It was also there at Bills Bait and Tackle he learned and mastered the skills for building custom fishing rods. Captain Chris can build you a rod from scratch, even starting from a blank, and will put your choice of grips. He can also strip them down completely and re thread them with your choice of color. He made Kris and the girls pink and purple ones, just to name a few. Captain Chris continues to build custom rods and fix tips and guides for other Captains in the local area.

Captain Chris dreamed of owning a fishing charter business one day. When Captain Chris got his Captains license in 2006, he was running boats for other Captains. Finally, 2009 realizing it was his time, he bought his first fishing boat, and Scales 2 Tales was born. How did he come up with the name you ask? Well "All fish have Scales and there is always 2 sides to every fish Tale".

In 2018, Captain Chris was featured in George Poveromo's Wold of Saltwater Fishing. After George fished with Captain Chris, he was featured on Poveromo's A Team. Chris was featured in Episode 3 in January. Captain Chris speaks about his knowledge that was passed down to him at Poveromo fishing seminars.
