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!

Trish Boutwell5.0Half Day with Cap Rusty
Half Day Trip AM on April 26, 2022I 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!!!

Half Day Trip PM on October 4, 2021 • 2 adultsIt 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!!

Half Day Trip PM on June 14, 2021 • 3 adults • 2 childrenWe had an outstanding morning fishing and sightseeing with Captain Rusty. He is a great guide and my grandchildren (ages 11 & 13) thoroughly enjoyed the trip, as well. We highly recommend Captain Rusty for a memorable time on the water.

Half Day Trip AM on July 4, 2020We have been fishing with Captain Rusty over the past 4 years now., Rusty is a seasoned Captain, knows the gulf waters like the back of his hand. Always a fun time on the water and to top it all off , he makes the best smoked mullet in town😊
Nancy Angerome5.0Great time fishing
on October 12, 2019Had a great time with Captain Rusty! This part of Florida is just beautiful and he is very knowledgeable about the area and fishing spots. I am new at fishing and he was very patient with me. He explained how to do things and I ended up catching several speckled trout! It was a great time and I hope to go again sometime.
