Witnessing Capt. Chris Martin strategically maneuver a slow-moving top water bait over a calm Espiritu Santo flat at sunrise, one could never imagine Chris having lived anywhere else other than the Texas coastal area. That’s right, Chris is originally from North Carolina, but his family relocated to Victoria, Texas, while he was still young. As a result, Chris has been fortunate enough to have been fishing Texas Gulf Coast waters, all the way from the Galveston Bay system to the San Antonio Bay system, since the young age of eight years old.
Chris attended St. Thomas University, and later moved on to work 20 years in sales and marketing. It was at this point that Chris decided it was time for him to chase his life-long goal, to pursue his passion and love for wade fishing and casting artificial lures.
Today, Capt. Chris Martin, and his wife Deb, permanently reside in Seadrift, Texas, where they have begun to place the finishing touches on what was once only a dream. They are the proud owners and operators of Bay Flats Lodge, which overlooks the pristine waters of San Antonio Bay.
Captain Chris is a contributing writer for the Coastal Angler Magazine and the Salty Angler Magazine, and has written for Sporting Classics Magazine. He also writes for the Dolphin Talk Newspaper and The Port Lavaca Wave Newspaper. He contributes to the Houston Chronicle Neewspaper fishing reports.
He has hosted numerous Ducks Unlimited Outdoor Media Camps including an all women's outdoor media camp. He has been seen on NBC Outdoor Sports hosting Majesty Outdoors TV, hosted Benelli On Assignment both on Versus TV, and the Outdoor TV.
