If you are looking for a fishing guide out of Punta Gorda, you can stop looking now.  Rich is your guy.  On a cool morning when the fish weren’t really supposed to be biting, he got us where we caught over 20 fish; 6 different species and 7 keepers, which he cleaned for us at the end.  He was super friendly, a great communicator and taught us a lot.  I highly recommend Reel Rich and hope to return here for another adventure!

there eas six of us from six to eighty. captain Rich put us on fish and regaled us with history and nature stories. he was great with the six and ten year olds. a four hour trip is just right for kids. the kids enjoyed him so much they spontaneously gave him a hug when wr left.!

two trips were canceled because of weather. he bent over backwards to give us a great fishing experience

we caught 18 species of fish from pin fish to sharks. it eas great

Rich was very personable and Knowledgeable! knew when the fish were not hitting right away to move on to the next spot and sure enough we caught a ton of different types of fish. great experience overall. highly recommend!
