Catching bait was tough but Richie is a pro and he put us on the sharks.  My son caught 100lb black tip and I had another hooked but he jumped and spun and broke the leader.  If you haven’t went shark fishing you need to go.  Why go 30 miles out and spend 3x the money when you can have a great trip nearshore and catch big fish?  We will be booking another trip with Richie Russell.

We booked a last minute 2 pm trip with Captain Russell and not it did not disappoint!  We started slow (probably bc the time of day) so he went ahead and set us up with our shark gear and that’s when the fun started!  Watching my son hook a 4-5 ft blacktip was worth the wait.  If you’re looking for a great time and a chance to hook a shark or any other local fish, book with Captain Russell!

Booking a charter can be tough because of the number of choices. I choose Captain Ritchie because of the reviews on Yelp and fishingbooker.com. We were not disappointed at all, our first fish was an approximately 10ft Hammerhead that took over an hour to get to the boat. We turned him lose so someone else can catch him again. We also got an opportunity at a couple of Black Tips. It was a great trip and we made memories that will last a lifetime. We’ll certainly fish with Captain Ritchie again!

Captain Richie could not have been more professional and accommodating. Super clean boat that was set up perfectly for our trip. Wonderful experience all around. If you’re looking for a unique experience while on vacation, this trip gets you the big game without a long boat ride. Would definitely recommend this charter.

Despite the rough seas we caught some fish and Captain Richie was awesome!  Definitely recommend and we will charter with him next time.
