I'm a Fourth-generation Floridian. I grew up fishing the Everglades, Keys, Atlantic, and Gulf. Fishing is still a great passion of mine and I love to teach other people to catch fish.

Memory Making Trip
Half Day Trip AM on June 29, 2026 • 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!

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 on April 26, 2022
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!!!

Charter with Captain Rusty
Half Day Trip PM on October 4, 2021 • 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!!

Full day with Captain Rusty
Full Day Trip on September 23, 2021 • 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!!
