Spanish and king mackerel are showing up in good numbers, hogfish bite is heating up and cudas and goliaths on the wreck! Fall is one of the most fun times of year to fish, lots of variety!

Gage was absolutely awesome. He knows the best places, setup my fly rod correctly for me. He gave me great instructions. I did get a hook in the mouth of a tarpon, unfortunately it shook loose. But would definitely do it again.

This was an amazing experience! I gifted it to my husband and his buddy. They found Captain Vasiliy knowledgeable, had a great time with him and caught quite a bit of fish with him which we all grilled up for dinner. Everything about the experience was A+. The guys hope to to this trip again with the same Captain. Thanks so much Captain Vasiliy for the perfect guys fishing trip! Rosanna Ambrosio I have a great shot of you with the guys heading out but couldn't upload. Will send to your cell and maybe you can :)

We had an awesome time with George!! He was so kind and accommodating to our special needs son! We were on the fish as soon as we left the bay and caught several keepers to try in the pan. I would recommend George to anyone that is looking for a good time with a highly knowledgeable captain.

Going out with Captain Brad was a great time. He is a no nonsense guide who went above and beyond to get us on the fish. Even in not so great weather, he made sure we all had a great time.

I brought my son down for a weekend of cast and bkast. We soent all day Sunday with Captain Vasiliy aka The Russian Redneck. He runs a very nice wellcraft center consolw. Boat is in great shape with lots if room. We met at the boat launch around 0745 and after quick introductions we shoved off. A quixk stop at a marina baitshop on our way and the day began. We hit an area on tge way out fir maybe 30 min to catch some live baitfish and puahed offshore around 8-9 miles. Over our 8 hour charter we moved to several locations. If a spot got slow, pulled anchor and off to another. I didnt count total fish caught, but several dozen grunts, at least 15 grouper, a hog fish, some others im nor familiar with. We lost a couple big fish. Guessing they were goliaths. I will absolutely go fish with him again. If youre looking fir a friendlt captain who keeps you on the fish this is the one.
