Captain Ritchie was very nice, he welcomed us aboard his boat and treated us like family. The whole trip was easygoing and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were a group of first time anglers and he was patient with us and helped us land some fish. I was personally looking to land a shark, but it was not a good time of year to catch one.

Captain Richie made sure that my grandkids caught fish.  We had a 5-hour trip and we caught our first fish within the first hour.  Caught 11 Spanish Mackerel, several Hard Tails, and 3 Bonita.  I even caught a 6’ Blacktip shark.  We will definitely use Russell’s Coastal Fishing again next year!

my son and i went out with captain Russel today . its was one of if not the best trip i’ve ever been on . No stress , lots of knowledge . it seem like we was fishing with a long time family friend. The day we went was his birthday and it was like he had rather fish than celebrate . i would highly recommend booking a trip with him , i know I sure will . Thanks for the great day full of memories ,it wouldn’t have been the same out you captin Russel .
