Captain Ritchie was awesome! The weather didn't play in our favor for the early morning fish. He let me know early we needed to move our time back because of potential severe thunderstorms. He got back with me after a few hours and we went out. He is super knowledgeable about the area and were to go to get on the fish. We pulled in a variety of fish while we were out. He is also was very family oriented and a pleasure to spend the day with out on the water. His equipment was all in great shape. I definitely will be calling him the next time I come to Bama to fish!
it was a pleasure meeting you today . I hope we fish again in the future again when the weather is much better . I appreciate you very much and ofcourse the kind words too , very thankful , uour friend and Capt Ritchie
Captain Ritchie was very nice, he welcomed us aboard his boat and treated us like family. The whole trip was easygoing and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were a group of first time anglers and he was patient with us and helped us land some fish. I was personally looking to land a shark, but it was not a good time of year to catch one. Despite that, Captain Ritchie did his best to make my wish come true. We didn’t catch one this time, but I’m confident I could come back in the Summer and he would help me get the job done. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun deep sea fishing trip!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Making memories is what it’s all about!! I look forward to taking y’all fishing again! Capt Ritchie
We went shark fishing. We didn't catch a shark but he went above and beyond to ensure we had a good trip. We caught just about everything else tho which was awsome. red snapper, pink lady, blue fish, squirrel fish, mackerel, and hardfin. we filled the tags on snapper 2 a piece it was a great trip. Captain Richard Russel was a super nice guy very helpful and patient. like i said we may not have caught a shark but we caught like 16 other fish me and my little brother had a great time and we'll definitely book again!
Thank you for the kind words! Look forward to taking y’all again!! Capt Ritchie
Went out fishing during Tropical Storm Bertha, although we couldn’t leave the bay, Capt Richie made sure we got on some Sailfins and made our trip very memorable! The weather was awful, but the bite was excellent!! He even squeezed us in a day early so we wouldn’t have to cancel our trip altogether!! Will be booking with them again next time!!
thank you for the kind words! maybe next time we’ll have better weather! enjoyed taking y’all fishing! capt Ritchie
my son and i went out with captain Russel today . its was one of if not the best trip i’ve ever been on . No stress , lots of knowledge . it seem like we was fishing with a long time family friend. The day we went was his birthday and it was like he had rather fish than celebrate . i would highly recommend booking a trip with him , i know I sure will . Thanks for the great day full of memories ,it wouldn’t have been the same out you captin Russel .
