I'm Captain Stuart, the owner of Reel Blonde Charters. Captain Coleson John Pokorny and I run the charter trips, always striving to exceed your expectations. In 2018, I decided to follow my dream of running a charter business, and that dream became a reality. I take pride in offering versatile trips tailored to each customer's preferred target species and fishing style, as long as Mother Nature cooperates! My boat stays on a trailer, allowing me to travel to different locations and find alternative fishing spots when the weather doesn't cooperate with our original plan. I'm also a firefighter/paramedic and offer discounts to fellow firefighters, EMS personnel, and police officers. Occasionally, my yellow Lab, Nelli, joins us on trips. She's extremely friendly and lovable!
