Gulfrider Fishing Charters
Gulfrider Fishing Charters
Gulfrider Fishing Charters offers a non-stop fishing adventure out of Carrabelle, FL. Join a Florida native captain, who's been fishing these waters his whole life. Captain Rusty will teach you anything you need to know about inshore fishing and help you catch fish with ease. If you think that learning isn't fun, you probably never tried to learn fishing from an experienced captain.
You'll be fishing from a 20' Hewes that accommodates up to 3 guests. This flats boat is perfect for shallow waters you'll explore, and it easily navigates through spots other boats can't. Being powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine, this boat ensures a fast and safe ride. Besides top-notch fishing equipment, the boat also features a live bait tank.
The local inshore waters have so much variety when it comes to fish species, that you won't even feel the need to go to deeper spots. Some of the fish you can target here are Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Tarpon, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, Black Drum, and more. Of course, some of them are season dependent, so you won't be able to go after them at all times.
Capt. Rusty specializes in light tackle fishing with spinning and fly fishing, so these will be your main approaches. You get to keep the catch, so better start looking for a great restaurant nearby and have your fish prepared there.
Your fishing equipment is fully covered and the captain also prepares snacks and drinks. Just bring your camera and sun protection.
Gulfrider Fishing Charters welcomes you aboard!

Captain Rusty is a tremendous captain and human being. Hottest day of the summer and he tried to talk us out of going, but he still put us on a ton of fish. He was amazing with my seven year old teaching him about fishing, boating and marine life as we went. We coukdnt have asked for a better expereince. We will be back!
Thanks Ty It was my pleasure
Captain Rusty was great company and made best changes during a difficult day of fishing to put me on fish. Looking forward to my next trip to this area.
I booked this charter as a birthday present for my husband. My expectation was to catch enough fish to enjoy at a local restaurant as part of my husband’s birthday celebration - Captain Rusty made it happen! We enjoyed sharing tales with Cap Rusty almost as much as we did the fishing. . .no kidding!! We also learned a lot about the local waters and how to fish here because Cap Rusty shares his knowledge with those who want to know. We will book again, for sure! Thank you, Rusty!!!
Thank you both. Truly my pleasure!!!!
It was an amazing time! My first time ever on a charter and fishing in saltwater and it couldn’t of been better! Captain Rusty made sure I knew it wasn’t the most opportune time to hit the water due to weather but it was up to me if I’d still like to go. I’m glad we did he still managed to put us on the fish!!! It was great time and Captain Rusty is just an awesome guy! I would 10 out of 10 recommend taking a trip with him!! Thanks again Rusty can’t wait to do it again!!
Thanks man It was a blast to have y’all!!!
Can't say enough about my experience with Captain Rusty. My wife and I had an absolute blast. Not only did we catch all kinds of fish...trout, jack, flounder and reds to name a few, Rusty was a great guy we really enjoyed hanging out with. We shared a lot of stories and a ton of laughs. This man loves fishing and knows how to put you on them. This was my 1st time flat fishing and I couldn't have had a better day. I can't wait to book my next trip. Thanks again Rusty!!
Thank you 😊 Looking forward to seeing y’all again
