Captain put us right on the fish from start to finish. Hell yes! The service and attention to detail was exceptional from start to finish. Hell yes! Professional tips and tricks were shared from start to finish. Hell yes! And no one was left wanting at the end...except maybe to stay out a little longer (which the captain even granted!) Hell yes! Thanks again for everything. Make no mistake when I say creme de la creme, I mean it. Hell yes I mean it!

Captain Russell was awesome. The boat was excellent, the captain was excellent, the equipment was excellent, the seas were excellent, and the fishing was excellent. Captain Russell put us on the fish immediately, filleted them and bagged them. We will 100% go fishing with Captain Russell on our next trip down here. We have been on several fishing charters and this was the best! Thanks Captain!

We work hard and really have a day away from our phones. The weather was perfect and the seas enjoyable. Captain kept us on the fish and busy all day. Had lots of fish to throw back cause of out of season or under size. Our take home fish was a total of 82 keeper fish. Canβt wait to go out again! Perhaps a night time booking is next! Thanks for a fun day.

Capt Russell is extremely knowledgeable and competent. He was also super personable to all of us (me, my wife and 16 year old daughter). He is out there to catch fish, which we did! Once a spot dried up he was happy to pull up lines and go to another spot to catch more fish. Couldn't recommend him highly enough.
