Sure glad I met Gary D. From Pennsylvania! He invited me to go fishing with him on the Papa Bear Too!! We met up with Captain Rudy and headed toward the palm Beach inlet stopping briefly to get live bait from the bait supplier! A quick run offshore and we were dropping baits!! Captain Rudy made sure we were on the fish or we would pickup and move to more productive areas!! We stayed busy catching fish most of the day. I lost my battles with 2 big kings but it was a blast anyway ! I highly recommend fishing with Papa Bear Too!! Very nice boat and great Captain!!

Cap Rudy and mate were incredible from the start. They made my son feel comfortable even though he was a bit nervous for his first time on the ocean.

They clearly knew their way around the water and brought us to a spot where we started catching fish within 10 mins of the start of the trip.

I hooked something big that took a few hundred yards of line before it got away. It’ll haunt my dreams but it was still fun to fight something that big!

Definitely recommend.

Rudy and Mike were friendly, kind, helpful, and had great knowledge. I finally was able to make this trip happen with the help and flexibility of Capt. Rudy. I had booked a trip in March just before the pandemic shut us completely down, so Christmas came around, and I was able to rebook.

The trip as a whole was terrific. Rudy was a great communicator from start to finish. His expertise was helpful and guiding without ever feeling like I had no idea what I was doing. We hooked and fought many fish during our 4 hours. It was also the most beautiful weather on a Florida winter day to be out in the boat. We did get sharked a couple of times, but it was a fun day on the water. I would recommend Capt. Rudy and “Papa Bear’s Fishing Charter” to anyone looking for a fun and affordable experience on the beautiful blue waters of sunny South Florida.

Let me start out by saying that I was impressed from the start with Captain Rudy’s communications. He reached out very shortly after I booked the trip to see what type of fishing we were looking to do. We discussed several options and he could not have been more helpful meeting our wishes.
I also changed the fishing date twice after booking it after looking at weather forecasts. Rudy had no problem moving the trip to a day that had better weather predicted.
Today he was waiting for us on the dock when we arrived and our day started out right on time.
He worked endlessly to ensure we had a great experience. My wife checked off one of her bucket list items when she caught a sailfish about an hour into the trip. I handled it quite well that her sailfish was about twice the kingfish that I caught.
Rudy is also a paramedic and although that it’s unlikely that a medical emergency would occur on a day charter, it’s nice to have a professional first responder in charge.
We charter fishing trips all over the world and none yet has exceeded Rudy’s eagerness to please and professional fishing knowledge.
We highly recommended this charter.

Great time fishing with Capt Rudy. I recommend buying the live bait The little extra cost is well worth it. We had a king fish bite that hooked up four rods at once. What fun that was. The bottom fishing was good too. Trigger fish. Grouper. Yellowtail snappers and a bunch of other exotic fish that I’m not used to catching being from Pennsylvanian   5 stars all the way. Thanks Captain. I’ll be back.
