Coast to Cove Charters offers guided bass fishing on Lake Murray, Lake Monticello, and Lake Greenwood, led by Captain Chris Blanchette, a full-time touring Major League Fishing Pro Circuit (FLW Tour) and Bassmaster Elite Qualifier professional. Chris grew up on Lake Murray and turned a childhood dream into a career, leaving a corporate job after seven years to build a small, faith-first business centered on sharing his love of being on the water.
Chris brings serious tournament credentials to every trip, including a 2016 College Bass Fishing National Championship (University of South Carolina), a 2013 Bassmaster State Championship title, and a Coast Guard captain’s license. Trips run aboard a loaded Falcon F205 with a Mercury 250 Pro XS, and Chris offers guided bass fishing, electronics/livescope coaching, tournament prep, technique-specific training, and general boat charters, tailoring every outing to the client’s skill level and goals.
A full-day trip (8 hours) runs $600, giving time to experience the lake through changing conditions and cover multiple techniques and seasonal patterns. A 3/4-day trip (6 hours, select days only) runs $500, and a half-day trip (4 hours, select days only) runs $400, both well suited to learning productive patterns while targeting quality bass. For those short on time, a 1-hour virtual coaching session runs $150, covering current lake conditions, productive baits, and what to look for on a new fishery.
For anglers looking to learn from a touring professional bass fisherman, whether on the water on Lake Murray, Lake Monticello, or Lake Greenwood, or through a virtual coaching session, Coast to Cove Charters offers a highly credentialed, faith-centered guide service with Captain Chris Blanchette.
