Captain Daddy's Fishing Charters and a USCG licensed local fisherman invite you to explore the greater Daytona Beach. Join Capt. Tim out of Port Orange, Florida and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Capt. Tim is a native guide who has been fishing forever. He is a real threat to any fish and can almost speak their language and read their minds. Capt. Tim will show you the hottest spots both in the inlet and up to 7 miles nearshore.

Stay within the calm waters or venture out to test your angling skills. Wet a line first thing in the morning or fish the sunset for Redfish, Trout, Snook, Snapper, and even the 'Silver King' Tarpon.

Be a real hunter and target Sharks that patrol the local waters in search of pray. Capt. Tim has tailored a couple of packages for those 'Jaws' lovers.

Or spend your day nearshore targeting trophy Grouper, Cobia, Snapper, Barracuda, and other species. The opportunities abound!

You will be fishing aboard the 'Daddy's Daycare', a comfortable 22' Epic bay boat. She is a comfortable and spacious vessel that can take up to 4 anglers. The Daddy's Daycare comes powered by a single 175 HP Suzuki engine and is rigged with quality GPS and fish finder to sound out the deep water.

Captain Daddy's Fishing Charters come inclusive with the use of rods, reels, tackle, lures, bait, and licenses. Water will also be offered on board so you could feel free to grab your own snacks with you. A complimentary fish cleaning is also available after the trip. Fish On!

Listen to the Captain
Full Day Trip - Inshore/Inlet on July 29, 20232 adults

We had planned an inshore trip. Tim said he had a great spot offshore to get some fish for the freezer. We are all about the freezer and not those trophies. We filled our limit on some mangrove snappers and caught lots more fish. Even caught more fish that we got Barracudaed or Sharked or Goliath Groupered. Even fought a shark for 30 mins before he won the fight.Just listen to Tim.

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Great Barracuda

Evening Trip
Half Day Trip - Inshore/Inlet (AM) on September 18, 20232 adults

We had a fantastic trip out with Captain Daddy AKA Tim. The girls were catching more fish than the guys. They never really went fishing before and this was their first experience fishing in the ocean for bigger fish. We also encountered a hammerhead shark coming after a tarpon we were reeling up. Definitely going to book again next time we're in town.

Reported catch:
Snook
Mangrove Snapper

Full Day Trip - Inshore/Inlet on August 27, 20202 adults

We started off slow(our fault, got our days mixed up) but the fishing was never slow. The first spot we stopped we caught mangrove snapper almost every cast. Had to leave there because of construction and the next spot was even better than the last. When we went to the next spot the real fun started. We started catching bull reds (as most people it was on my bucket list) and if you haven't ever caught one you are missing out on some of the best fun you can hope for. We caught some on light tackle and it's amazing the power bull reds have. I highly recommend Captain Daddy's, I know I'm going to use him in the future.

Charles, it was a pleasure having y'all on the boat today. I'm thankful to be able to knock the bull redfish off your bucket list. I look forward to fishing with you again in the future.

8 Hour Trip, Caught 6 Different Types of Fish
Full Day Trip - Inshore/Inlet on June 17, 20202 adults

Captain Tim was an awesome guide and I would definitely recommend him. He put us on several bull reds first thing in the morning and we ended up catching at least 6 different types of fish. After we landed each new species, Capt Tim would take the time to show the fish to us and explain their unique characteristics. It makes the trip so much better when your guide has spent his entire life fishing the area, and has a great personality such as Capt Tim.

This was a full day trip
Full Day Trip - Inshore/Inlet on October 27, 20184 adults

We had a full day of fishing with 4 people. The Boat was well-equipped and had plenty of room for the four of us. The Captain was very friendly, personable and had a knowledgeable of the area. During this trip we were able to catch at least 8 large Red fish, serval sharks and even a good size Tarpon. We later went up into the inlet and caught a few Snapper. The captain was very helpful throughout the day and assisted with supplying bait and helping with tackle issues. If you are looking for a fun trip and want to catch a lot of fish then this is the boat for you! Captain Daddy did not disappoint, awesome trip! We will certainly go again.

Tim 'Captain Daddy' Russel is a Florida native. He grew up on the waters of the greater Daytona Beach area, fishing and exploring the bite. Captain Daddy spent all his childhood fishing any waterbody he could find while his buddies were busy playing sports. Tim's parents quickly understood that fishing is not just a random hobby for him – it was Tim's real passion. He bought his first boat at a young age of 14 and began learning the techniques and fish patterns. With almost 3 decades of experience, Captain Daddy still enjoys fishing the Daytona Beach area and has never looked back.
