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 Russel went above and beyond to ensure this was a great trip for my wife, daughter, and me.  He made sure we were all comfortable and having fun and tailored the trip to what we wanted to go after.  Conversation was great, and his knowledge of the bay put us on some mackerel early, and we closed out the trip with a MASSIVE hammerhead.  10 out of 10 recommend; we will be back!

This trip was awesome. With all the bad weather days before our trip we were still able to catch 17 sail catfish and 1 lady fish. Captain Ritchie was great and knowledgeable of the area.  He made sure that our kids felt involved and engaging while we were outLooking forward to booking another trip with him.

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!
