    Awesome time w/ Capt. Russ

    Excursión de Día Completo (6–7 Horas) • 2 adultos

    20-30mph winds and cloudy, combined with first time on a charter. I was anxious. When we met w/Capt. Russ, he gave us a brief explanation of his game plan and he ansewerd a few questions. We set off. 2hrs in, weather getting worse, we are casting in our 3rd spot. After a few minutes, bang, 29in red. Then the reds started hitting. My friend and I limited out in 2 hrs. Even though the wheather was bad enough a fishing tournament got canceled, Capt. Russ got us on the fish. He kept bait on the hooks and gave clear direction where to cast. I'm certain without his knowledge and expertise, we would not have caught any fish today. "...put it in the cooler!"

    chill captain

    Excursión de Día Completo (6–7 Horas) • 4 adultos

    Took my future FIL and my special needs SIL on our first fishing trip together. Captain Russ was calm, flexible with time and catered to our needs. He was patient with my SIL and helped my FIL (who is older) cast and reel in fish. Even though fish werent biting like crazy we were still able to take home 5 decent sized fish for dinner! Overall the experience was great and Cap Russ was very knowledgeable about the surroundings. Very safe. I will definitely book with again in the future.! Thanks so much for a great trip and the shrimp!

    It was certainly an Honor to have all of you. Lizzy is so sweet, and your FIL is such a kind man. Congratulations again for finishing school and starting your career. Be safe on your travels and future endeavors. Russ

    Fantastic day of fishing!

    Excursión de Día Completo (6–7 Horas) • 4 adultos

    We had a fantastic day of fishing with Captain Russ! He really knows the area and he knows fishing. He put us right on fish in multiple areas around the bay and we limited out early on speckled trout. We learned a lot and really enjoyed his company. My new favorite guide! We will be booking with him again in the future. Excellent fishing guide!

    Fishing has been good with the higher tides. Catching trout freelining croaker has been the ticket. Reds are still on the menu while using cut shad and pin perch. Come get ya some Thank you Russ

    Has an amazing time fishing with Capt. Russ. He took excellent care of my wife and brother-n-law during our time on the water. Russ worked hard to ensure we had the best opportunity to get on fish and we caught quite a few that day with limits of Reds. The company and shared knowledge was top notch.m

    Capt Russ is a fisherman's captain. On a challenging bite day he worked hard to get us on good fish, going from spot to spot . He knew the bay very well and had numerous spots. We worked for it but wound up with a good stringer of Specks. Plenty of live bait, very efficient and professional/friendly. No shortcut here.......Russ is there for the time you hired him for. He works for you and is just a gentleman. Easy fellow to fish with and I've fished a long time. I'd hired Russ again
