Down2Fish Charters – 30' Robalo 

You won’t be disappointed great captain and I would fish with him again

I've been slacking leaving this review since the trip was 2 days before our summer family vacation and August has gotten away from me. We had an absolute wonderful with Capt Richard and his first mate at the end of July! We wanted to get out and attempt catching a few red snappers before the season ended. This charter did not disappoint as we caught red snappers, groupers, a huge triggerfish, sharks and many more. The boat and crew were phenomenal. The captain did not tarry long when the bite slowed and moved several times throughout the day to keep the action steady. We have enjoyed our snappers and groupers since our return from our vacation. Needless to say, we will be back for more. Thank you to Capt Richard and crew

Captain Rich and his first mate Ray (R & R) were great. High-tech boat with sonar and auto-pilot to sit right on the spots to get fish. 30’ boat with about a 7 or 8’ beam. Comfortable ride and stable in the waves. Limited out on grouper quickly and some really nice snapper. Out near 60 miles and pulling up big boys from 150’ was a righteous workout. Great time. Would definitely go with these gentlemen again.

Had an awesome day with Capt Richard and Dylan. It was our first time offshore fishing and they made it a memorable trip. We didnt bring limits of fish home but we definitely caught plenty and still managed to bring home two nice grouper and a few snapper. Seas were not very good today but the boat handled it well. Capt Richard did his best to put us on the fish and had the conditions been better there's no doubt we woulda caught even more. If your questioning who to book a trip with look no further. Capt Richard is the way to go!!!

Awesome Saturday out on the water with Down2Fish Charters and Captain Richard. Traveled overall 38 miles out. Fishing over ship reefs for bait and then on to the sweet spots. He put us on grouper, tuna, trigger fish and more. Could not have asked for a better first time deep water fishing trip. The 30 foot Ropalo was just the right size for us. Once back to the dock he clean and bagged the fish we caught. Father’s Day Sunday was even better with fresh tuna sushi, and grilled and Toasted Sesame seed seared tuna. Eddie and I definitely will be back! Thanks - Richard for a memorable weekend-

Cannot recommend Captain Richard and Down2Fish Charters enough! 5/5 stars!!!! Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and fun! His vessel is the nicest in the area and makes getting to all the spots a breeze! He put us on fish all day long, and we were able to limit out on Red Snapper and Red Grouper! Cannot wait to be back on the water with Down2Fish

We had a great time. Non stop action (grouper, amber jack, other fish which I don't remember the name and I caught an eel). We even enjoyed catching pinfish which were used for bait. Capt. Richard knows the spots and his 2020 Rabalo is a very nice modern boat with a BATHROOM!. Thanks for the great time, one for the memory books! Bob and Danette.

Can't really describe how great of a day we had with Captain Richard. He put us on the fish, in many locations. We made it 45 miles off the shore and we caught a variety of good eating fish. He is super knowledgeable about the area, bait, structures and is now our go to Captain for any charters in the Tampa Bay area going forward.

Captain Richard and First Mate Barry were awesome. This was the first charter trip for my 12 and 11 year old sons and they were both amazing with the boys. We all limited out on grouper and had an amazing day on the water. We will definitely be calling these guys again for our trips.

I took my 2 boys ages 14 and 17 fishing with Richard and we had an awesome time. We had 2 Mates to help out, all were very knowledgeable and grew up fishing the area waters as kids. These guys truly enjoy fishing and made sure we didn’t come home empty handed. I will definitely use them the next time I am in the area. I would highly recommend them to all. Thanks Richard and crew for a fun day on the water.
