100+ reviews
Tim 'Captain Daddy' Russel is a Florida native. He grew up on the waters of the greater Daytona Beach area, fishing and exploring the bite. Captain Daddy spent all his childhood fishing any waterbody he could find while his buddies were busy playing sports. Tim's parents quickly understood that fishing is not just a random hobby for him – it was Tim's real passion. He bought his first boat at a young age of 14 and began learning the techniques and fish patterns. With almost 3 decades of experience, Captain Daddy still enjoys fishing the Daytona Beach area and has never looked back.

    Captain Daddy's Slaying

    Half Day Trip - Inshore/Inlet (AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Daddy's was great. He is a very personable captain, and made the experience great for everyone on board. He wasn't satisfied until we were on the fish, and we were ON THEM! Fantastic day all around.

    Captain Tim Knows How to Find the Fish

    12 Hour Trip – Gulf Stream • 2 adults

    Tim is a great Captain! We had a wonderful time on his boat. As an experienced offshore angler, I was looking for the real deal, and Tim delivered. The 12-hour trip is absolutely worth it in these waters, since it can take a few stops before finding the bite. Tim was right on time, the boat was ready to go, and he worked hard to put us on fish. It started off slow, but before long we had a few catches in the box. After trying a couple more spots, the action picked up with some great barracuda, and the highlight of the day was an absolutely beautiful sailfish. Overall, it was a fantastic day on the water with Tim. His professionalism, knowledge, and persistence made the trip both successful and enjoyable. Highly recommend booking with him, you won’t be disappointed!

    Great day

    10 Hour Trip – Deep Sea • 4 adults

    We went out with Captain Tim on a 10 hr trip. Capt put us on fish all day. Outside of a sail fish we pretty much had every type of fish on at some points. We caught some barracuda’s and thought they go back in. Captain Tim said no there edible here and when you try it. It will be your new favorite fish. Tonight I grilled two fillets and OMG unbelievable how good they are. I joked with Tim I’d wait until I made some cuda to do my review….. just in case. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. He’s a great guy. We laughed, cried losing some fish. If you want a excellent charter, I highly recommend Captain Daddy’s for your next fishing adventure.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Red Snapper
    Mangrove Snapper
