My son has always wanted to fish for mahi mahi and/or tuna in the Bahamas. So we decided to book a corresponding trip on Friday, 12.4.2024. My wife and my son’s girlfriend accompanied us.
Because it had been a bit windy and choppy all week, we decided for the boat Chubasco - 48’ from Hatteras Sportfish - Captain Mike Russel. As it was our first “real” fishing trip, we decided to book the morning trip (4 hours).
Captain Mike and his assistant arrived punctually at the agreed harbor location and the fishing tackle and bait were already ready for use. We started fishing about 15 minutes after leaving the port of Nassau. Despite the total of 4 fishing rods that we had mounted, we were unfortunately unable to record a single bite. So in the end it was a bit disappointing… but that’s the way it is with fishing…. there is no guarantee.
However… Captain Mike Rusell has certainly done a lot to find fish… unfortunately we didn’t succeed…. maybe next time !??

Capt. Charlton and Kelsey wer fenomonal team!! I fished with my two boys 15 and 12 who were not that experienced and kelsey was great teacher for the youngsters!! Capt charlton steamed far and wide for a great catch of 6 barracuda, and multiple yellow tail snapper, the action was non stop and exciting!! I’ve fished all over the east coast of United States especially montauk Long Island and charlton and kelsey were just as good as best boats I’ve been on for 35 years.. I would highly recommend this boat

I took my 11yo daughter fishing and we had a great time! Our trip started with a punctual and easy pickup from a dock near our hotel. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the morning troll fishing. The captain and took us through multiple fishing spots and the first mate showed us the ropes and had us reeling in fish in no time. We were more than happy with the fish we caught and our experience with Chubasco Fishing. We will go with them next time we are in Bahamas.

Captain Mike was nothing but serious when we hit the water. with in 30 minutes we had our first fish on, and 10 minutes later he put us on about a 275 pound Blue Marlin that took 90 minutes to land. Capt. Mike and 1st mate (Kiris) coached me thru the entire catch to make it possible. this trip was for my 60th Birthday and I had told Capt. Mike I would really like to catch a Marlin, and he made it happen!!
Thank you Capt. and crew for making an old mans dream come true.
Tight Lines.

Lunky went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing charter. He was an extremely hard worker and impressive/personable first mate. I would highly recommend this charter. We ended up catching a decent amount of fish and captain Mike was extremely knowledgeable of the area/fish caught.
