Captain Russell was great. We had less than ideal conditions, but he had the right gear and his boat was big enough and well equipped to handle the bigger seas. We learned while underway, that Capt Russell is a veteran naval rescue diver and current fireman. It made us feel more comfortable in the rougher seas we fished in. His boat handling skills were very good and he gave us a comfortable ride out and back. He did fantastic with the kids. After trying a couple different things, he put us on some good sized King Mackerel and we had an exciting day. Safe, experienced, fun. We would definitely book with him again.

Captain Russell was awesome!  He was great with both my 12 year old boy and 9 year old girl.  Headed into the day, they wanted to catch Mahi Mahi and a shark.  We did some bottom fishing and caught Red Snapper, Bee Liner, Trigger Fish, Red Grouper, and a big Gag Grouper.  While we were bottom fishing, we spotted some Mahi and he had the equipment ready and we caught 4 really quick.  Towards the end and as we were running out of time, we had a Tiger Shark on that broke the line twice and Captain Russell tried to get him.  He did everything he could to make sure we had a great day - the boat was in great shape, the tackle was well maintained and he had plenty of good, live bait.  The fish finding equipment was great and he knew the spots where the fish were.  My kids were in wonderful moods as we rode back to the dock because they had so much fun and were excited to tell their stories.  Very Professional.  Highly recommended!

We had an excellent experience with Captain Russell and I would highly recommend him to others in the Panama City Beach, FL area looking for a great fishing experience. He’s incredibly professional and even called me the night before to go over the game plan and get a better understanding of what our group was hoping to catch. Our outing was fantastic and we caught a variety of snapper, grouper, mahi, trigger fish, and even a shark. The captain always had our lines baited and ready to go and made sure we knew the correct technique to improve our chances of hooking up. His boat and equipment were spotless and his larger boat made the ride enjoyable even in the choppy water. We had a nice cooler full of fillets to take home after our charter and we can’t wait to go again.

Our trip with Captain Russell was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Our boys had a blast and are ready to go again. We caught plenty of triggerfish, Vermillion snapper, Mahi, fought with a few amberjacks and lost one to a 🦈!
A truly unforgettable experience!!

Captain Russel was extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go, to maximize the 5 hours we had, with the conditions on hand. We caught a variety of snapper, trigger fish and mahi. I will definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.
