    Memory Making Trip

    Half Day Trip AM • 2 adults

    Captain Rusty is a tremendous captain and human being. Hottest day of the summer and he tried to talk us out of going, but he still put us on a ton of fish. He was amazing with my seven year old teaching him about fishing, boating and marine life as we went. We coukdnt have asked for a better expereince. We will be back!

    Reported catch:
    Ladyfish
    Speckled Trout

    Great trip on difficult day

    Half Day Trip AM • 2 adults

    Captain Rusty was great company and made best changes during a difficult day of fishing to put me on fish. Looking forward to my next trip to this area.

    Half Day with Cap Rusty

    Half Day Trip AM

    I booked this charter as a birthday present for my husband. My expectation was to catch enough fish to enjoy at a local restaurant as part of my husband’s birthday celebration - Captain Rusty made it happen! We enjoyed sharing tales with Cap Rusty almost as much as we did the fishing. . .no kidding!! We also learned a lot about the local waters and how to fish here because Cap Rusty shares his knowledge with those who want to know. We will book again, for sure! Thank you, Rusty!!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you both. Truly my pleasure!!!!

    Charter with Captain Rusty

    Half Day Trip PM • 2 adults

    It was an amazing time! My first time ever on a charter and fishing in saltwater and it couldn’t of been better! Captain Rusty made sure I knew it wasn’t the most opportune time to hit the water due to weather but it was up to me if I’d still like to go. I’m glad we did he still managed to put us on the fish!!! It was great time and Captain Rusty is just an awesome guy! I would 10 out of 10 recommend taking a trip with him!! Thanks again Rusty can’t wait to do it again!!

    Response from Captain

    Full day with Captain Rusty

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Can't say enough about my experience with Captain Rusty. My wife and I had an absolute blast. Not only did we catch all kinds of fish...trout, jack, flounder and reds to name a few, Rusty was a great guy we really enjoyed hanging out with. We shared a lot of stories and a ton of laughs. This man loves fishing and knows how to put you on them. This was my 1st time flat fishing and I couldn't have had a better day. I can't wait to book my next trip. Thanks again Rusty!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you 😊 Looking forward to seeing y’all again

    We had a great time fishing inshore with Captain Rusty. He had excellent communication with us as we had to reschedule due to the weather. He knew where to fish and made sure we had a great time catching fish! Thanks for the fun day!

    We had an outstanding morning fishing and sightseeing with Captain Rusty. He is a great guide and my grandchildren (ages 11 & 13) thoroughly enjoyed the trip, as well. We highly recommend Captain Rusty for a memorable time on the water.
