We had an awesome time with Capt. Rich today for a 4 hour inshore trip. Capt Rich is a very personable and knowledgable captain who knows where to find the fish. This was our second trip out with scotty j’s charters and next year we will be doing an offshore trip for sure. If you want to get out on the beautiful tampa waters for a day with Capt rich and catch some fish (in comfort), book with scotty j’s fishing charters.

We had an offshore trip booked with Captain Rich.  On the day of the charter, the winds were high and offshore conditions rough.  Captain Rich offered us several options and we ended up fishing nearshore.  We cought fish and had a great time!  👍

A fantastic trip, caught a range of fish, Captain and Mate were fantastic, moving us around up to 55 miles of coast to go to their favorite holes. And we caught some great fish… had a great time. Thank you.

Captain Rich took us 26 miles out, put us on some snapper right away. We landed a ton of small guys, and had action on some grunts, grouper, triggerfish and even a yellowtail. We topped it off with 45 minute fight with a shark just before dark. Great times had by all, tons of reeling, and even had a fish dinner at the end of the night. We had a blast!

Awesome day captain rich was like fishingwith a buddy. Informative, very helpful, and VERY patient. I say patient because he actually got me hooked up on a sailfish and I couldn’t get the job done being a first timer. My 8 year old daughter had a blast and was bragging how nice the captain was on the ride home. Will definitely be callinghim next time where in town.
