Had a great time with Captain Russell. Caught a ton of fish. Top-tier vessel, great fishing equipment--Capt Russell knows how to find the fish. Thought we might have to cancel due to wind; Captain Russell kept us up to date on conditions with calls and texts before the trip. He decided we could try and we're so glad we did. Beautiful day! My family and I all had a great time non-stop action catching snapper and some big grouper and AJs. Capt Russell is very friendly and outgoing--just the right personality for a guide! He does more than keep the bait moving, he teaches you method and technique; knows the gulf very well.
Shouts out to Capt’n Russell! Our family had an amazing time on water. The boat was beautiful and even had a bathroom. We caught multiple species and a bunch of them! Capt’n Russell seen a bunch of Bonita boiling on top of the water, pulled the boat off, grabbed a rod with a large jig and casted it, hooked onto a large Bonita and handed it over for me to fight! My 9 yr old caught the largest of the day and reminds us of that when we talk about our trip 😂. Such a great experience and we will definitely be back next year! 5 ⭐️’s Thanks
