If 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!
Thank you for your kind review David. Im glad you guys enjoyed the day.
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.
two trips were canceled because of weather. he bent over backwards to give us a great fishing experience
Thank You John, we appreciate your support.

Your captain
I'm Captain Rich Damianos and I have been fishing the keys and cuts of Charlotte Harbor for more than 10 years. Born in Newport, Rhode Island and raised in the Finger Lakes of Central New York, I cut my teeth fishing both salt and fresh water. As a tournament angler with FLW and Bassmasters, I have learned to refine my fish finding skills. These skills are what I teach on every guided trip. When you fish Charlotte Harbor with me, you will catch fish, learn some techniques, and have a great time. I am a USCG Licensed Master, Florida Licensed Charter Captain, NYS Licensed Public Vessel Operator and Guide, and certified in First Aid and CPR. I am a father of 2 and considered by others to be an excellent guide, educator, and a pleasure to fish with. I work well with kids, beginners, and seasoned anglers alike. Most of all, I work for you.
