David Hitchcock•
Missouri, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedExcellent trip!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 11, 2026 • 2 adultsIf you are looking for a fishing guide out of Punta Gorda, you can stop looking now. Rich is your guy. On a cool morning when the fish weren’t really supposed to be biting, he got us where we caught over 20 fish; 6 different species and 7 keepers, which he cleaned for us at the end. He was super friendly, a great communicator and taught us a lot. I highly recommend Reel Rich and hope to return here for another adventure!

Jan Gee•Maine, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedFun time fishing!
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 15, 2024 • 2 adultsWe had a fantastic time fishing with Reel Rich Fishing! Rich was very patient and kind, with two older non-fishers. We caught lots of fish and I caught 2 sharks, a little one and and a big one that broke my line. He referred us to a restaurant that would cook our fresh catch for us; the Lazy Flamingo. They cooked us up our fat Pompano, King Mackerel and an Ocean trout; it was absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I had such a wonderful time we're gonna send our son fishing with Rich has a gift and we will be back next year. Thank you so much Rich, this made our vacation fun! Best, John and Jan Gee

A great day on the water
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 4, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Rich worked very hard to keep us on fish. As soon as the bite slowed off we went to a new spot. We caught lots of fish, several varieties. Limited out on speckled trout. Rich is a gentleman and an excellent Captain. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing and chatting with him. We highly recommend this charter. Randy and Ginny Moore

Awesome fishing trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 19, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had a great time fishing with Captain Rich. We had non stop action. Caught a great variety of fish, including sharks. Captain Rich gave us tips on how to prepare the fish. Everything was spot on for what we were looking for in a charter. Will definitely look him up when we are in the area again
Scott Homrich•Michigan, USMember since 20235.0VerifiedFun afternoon on the water!
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 29, 2023 • 4 adults • 1 childTook the wife and two of our kids out on the water for a fun afternoon of fishing with Captain Rich. He took us a short ride from the marina to our first stop and even though we were catching fish, he wasn't satisficed. So, off we went to another spot and were hooking up with mackerel pretty quick. We were catching a bunch of them, so much so, the boy wanted to go find something different. With shot time, we moved, but no luck at that spot, but Rich wanted to show us a good time. Thanks for a good day on the water!

there eas six of us from six to eighty. captain Rich put us on fish and regaled us with history and nature stories. he was great with the six and ten year olds. a four hour trip is just right for kids. the kids enjoyed him so much they spontaneously gave him a hug when wr left.!
The little pirate crew was amazing. y’all caught some great fish and im glad you enjoyed your time on the harbor.
