Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

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. We had a nice cooler full of fillets to take home after our charter and we can't wait to go again.

Capt. Russell is the best Captain there is. This is our 3rd trip with him and I WONT USE ANYONE ELSE in PCB.
Takes the time to show my son how to read the depth finder, kept us in the fish all day and lines baited song with making sure my wife was taken care.
You won’t find anyone that will treat you family better. Oh, and you catch fish as well, just look at the 81 pounds that we brought in.

I really enjoyed fishing with Captain Russel. He was easy to talk to, and worked very hard to make sure we caught a lot of fish. Very nice boat and an enjoyable experience. I look forward to fishing with him again.

This was our first experience fishing in the gulf, with three experienced fishermen and two newbies. Russell was very patient with us, taught us everything we needed to know. The weather wasn’t the best, but we still had a lot of fun and caught amberjacks and red snappers. And then at the end we caught a wahoo! If you want to see Russell get excited, catch a wahoo! We all walked away with big smiles on our faces and memories that will last forever. This was hands down the highlight of our trip and we will be coming back for another fishing adventure in the future.

Thank you Julie! I wish that I would have had another opening that week for a second trip. I'll see you all next year and yes that wahoo got me excited!

We had a great time fishing with captain Russell. We caught at least 20 fish, the weather was perfect, and we got to see dolphins and a sea turtle on the way back. It was action packed and the fish were quick to take the bait. Russell knew right where to take us. We would highly recommend.

Captain Russell took 6 of us on an dolphin watching excursion. We started in the water, on a sand bar looking for sand dollars and other marine life. Captain even found a live star fish. Our nephews loved it. We swam about for a bit, enjoying the warm water. The next leg of our journey took us to the open ocean. where we were entertained by a pod of wild bottle nose dolphin. Captain knew just where they were. We took pictures and enjoyed the whimsical nature of the wildlife. The passion Captain Russell had for nature was on clear display, he answered every question our seven year old nephew threw at him with grace and patience. He was all smiles throughout the trip, he clearly loved being on the water, and it was infectious. His candor and delightful personality made the trip fun and memorable.

Thank you captain, and we cannot wait to ride with you again. Though next time, I'm thinking snapper is in order.

Our family had an amazing memorable fishing trip with Captain Russell. We would highly recommend him for your fishing guide. He is very personable and professional. We went to numerous fishing spots in the gulf that kept us reeling in the fish. We are planning to charter his services again next year.

This was our third trip out with Captain Russell and these excursions are always the highlight of our vacations. He took us out swimming near the dolphins and we got to see many dolphins. Then we went looking for sand dollars and starfish and other sea life. I love how knowledgeable and personable he is and caters the trip to what you want to do.

We had a blast on our fishing trip with Captain Russell. He was very friendly and professional. He has a great knowledge of the area and current condition. We easily limit out in the first half of the trip. We spent the rest of the day trophy fishing. We ended the day with a great fight against a shark. This fight took us a little past our time but we never felt rushed but Captain Russell to end the fight. My wife and I are very grateful for a great trip and for Captain Russell sharing his boat with us. We would highly recommend him and plan on going again!

Fish On Charters and Captain Russell was amazing. The captain knew the spots not just for sporting fish but quality fish to eat as well. Even at the end of the day when we wanted a real fight he knew exactly where to take us. This Charter and Captain will get you on the fish, get you a variety of fish, and is very knowledgeable. If you are looking for a great all around experience, this is the one to book!!!
