Capt. Rod Nichol has been fishing in either freshwater and saltwater for nearly his entire life.  Eventually Rod realized that his true love of fishing was driven by his desire to share the incredible offshore experience with friends and customers so he decided that it was time to charter his yacht. This is one captain that realizes that a fishing excursion is not just determined only by what you catch. It is decided by the overall experience and whether or not you can say you had an awesome time.  Capt. Rod is committed to giving his charter customers an outstanding and congenial Experience.

Capt. Rod is a USCG licensed captain and has a USCG 50 ton "master" rating along with a USCG commercial towing endorsement and a TWIC card.  With credentials like these you can be assured that you are in capable hands.      

As you might expect in this fishing family, Capt. Blake Nichol (Rod's son) has been fishing ever since he could stand upright. He has been honing his offshore fishing skills for many years. Blake is known for his abilities of working with trolling spreads employing up to nine lines at a time and also his very impressive fish wiring and gaffing skills.    

Capt. Blake has a 100 ton Master USCG license and either works as the first mate or fills in at the wheel when Rod is not available. Capt. Blake is currently going to college full time and is also working full time as the dock master at Palm Harbor Marina in West Palm.     

Rounding out the Reel Chaos crew, it never takes much coaxing to get Denise, Rod's wife, to ride along and take pictures and film some video during the heat of the fight. Denise  loves to fish, dive, spearfish, and everything else that is on .... around .... or in the water. She's the one you will hear in our YouTube clip saying "Yeah! and Sweet!" and is always the first to give high fives to everyone afterwards.

Denise is a very accomplished and experienced offshore angler and a welcome member to any fishing team.
