We had an excellent experience with Captain Russell and I would highly recommend him to others in the Panama City Beach, FL area looking for a great fishing experience. He’s incredibly professional and even called me the night before to go over the game plan and get a better understanding of what our group was hoping to catch. Our outing was fantastic and we caught a variety of snapper, grouper, mahi, trigger fish, and even a shark. The captain always had our lines baited and ready to go and made sure we knew the correct technique to improve our chances of hooking up. His boat and equipment were spotless and his larger boat made the ride enjoyable even in the choppy water. We had a nice cooler full of fillets to take home after our charter and we can’t wait to go again.

Captain Russell was a great host. I took my nine and seven-year-old boys. Though the weather was still a little more chilly, Captain Russell still showed myself and the boys a wonderful time and all the spots to keep them busy catching fish. When we return to the area, we will be sure to give Captain Russell a call!

Myself and 4 others went on a 5 hour fishing trip with Captain Russell aimed at red snapper. We could not be more pleased with how the trip went. The boat had more than enough room for 5 adult men. Captain Russell had great communication (he called the night before to review weather and fishing plan), he was a genuinely great guy to talk with, and he put us on the fish for the whole trip. His experience and preparation were evident, and we plan to use him again for another fishing trip.
