Captain Daddy's Fishing Charters – Inshore

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!

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.
