Fishing has been really good, the water temperature is starting to drop a little bit and it's getting the fish to move around a lot more!

Bait is still solid in Charlotte harbor. Still plenty of big and small tarpon. Snook are plentiful as they begin their usual migration up the rivers and are fattening up. 50 to 60 FISH days are common right now and it will continue until we get our first cold front. Going forward we will concentrate on trout and sheepshead when it does cool down, but as long as the water temperatures remain good almost everything will bite

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!

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.

We had a great time out on the water with Captain Jerry! He made sure we had ice, water, and plenty of bait. The weather kept us inland a little bit but he was flexible and moved to where the fish were. Our boys were very excited to catch two sharks, two pufferfish, a catfish, and several other types of fish, some of which we were able to keep for dinner. Thanks Captain Jerry!
