This was our first fishing trip on the west coast of Florida and we couldnโt have found a better charter or Captain for our trip. Captain Russell was very accommodating and a perfect host. We found all the fish we wanted and good sized fish as well. He took good care of us with the great working equipment, tackle and skill catching those fish. He is well versed in the area and know where to go to catch all the types of fish in the area amd how to carch them including probiding the right bait and coaching needed to have a successful fishing trip. We will take his charter again soon. He captured our best moments as well. .

Thank you so much Dan! It was really enjoyable having you and your son on the boat! I had a really good time.
My fiance and I came from NY and the captain was able to hook us on to some good ones! He knows what to use and where, and that helped us pull multiple fish out that were over a foot and a half long. He helped me target some grouper when I asked so he is very knowledgable of what species live where. We all had a blast!
Thank you so much for the great review. You, Amanda and father in law were so much fun!ย I am pleased that you caught a few grouper even though the season was closed. The red fish were not playing nice but the bite was great in the deeper water today! The fishing has really got good the last few weeks.
My kids and I (ages 10 & 11) had an incredibly enjoyable & adventurous day with Captain Russ.ย My kids have only fished a couple of times before so he took them through a lot of the basics and made the learning fun for them!ย We spent 4 hours inshore fishing and caught some grouper, a red fish, flounder and a few mangrove snappers! The experience overall was SO FUN and we give him 5 stars.ย Highly recommend. Captain Russell is skilled & fun & has so many great fishing stories from his time in other countries as well as Florida. There are so many charters out there to pick from, you will not be disappointed with Capt Russell. He knows the area & is extremely fun to boot.

Thanks for the kind words, Sean. I enjoy having you on the boat and itโs my pleasure. We have had lots of good trips with a variety of fish. I appreciate your business and friendship.
This was my first experience on a fishing charter and had a Wonderful time!ย Captain Russell was kind and patient with me during our excursion.ย He baited my hook, taught me different techniques to use and educated me on the different fish we caught.ย I would highly recommend Captain Russell for all first timers and experienced fisherman.ย Thank you Captain Russell!
I have been out with many great captains but have to say that hitting the water with Captain Russell is always a joy. I have been on multiple charters and the array of nature to the variety of fish, he really provides a taste of what the west coast of Florida is all about. We highly recommend him to anyone in the Palmetto, Bradenton, Ann Maria area.
Thank you Devin! I always enjoy having you on the boat! You have become a great friend. Looking forward to many more years of fishing with you! As you know every trip is different but we always make the most of our time on the water! Thanks for your kind words.
