This was our first fishing trip on the west coast of Florida and we couldn’t 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... More

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!

My kids and I (ages 10 & 11) had an incredibly enjoyable & adventurous day with Captain Russ.  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!  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.  Highly recommend. Captain Russell is skilled & fun & has so many great fishing stories from his time... More

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.
