Excellent Captain
This was my 1st experience with Captain Russ, and he was absolutely wonderful. My 9 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time. He was patient with my daughter and helped her the entire trip from casting to getting the fish on the hook (when needed) and letting her reel it in to claim the catch. He also helped me with my casting technique. He moved to a new spot when the fish stopped biting. We caught LOTS of fish! What I loved the most is how respectful Russ is regarding wildlife and handling of the fish. He educated us on several different things and patiently answers my daughters many questions. I read a previous negative review and I am very confused because our experience was the complete opposite. He WANTS you to catch as many fish as you can do he goes where they are. So many good reviews, along with mine…you can count on having a great experience with Captain Russ.

Capt Russ put us on the fish!
Back in the summer of 2021 my best friend and I decided we were going to head to the West Coast of Florida around the Cape Coral area to do some relaxing. It was going to be a couples trip. We decided to look up a fishing charter that would have the experience for that area of the state. My friend and I both grew up in South Florida and we have been used to fishing in Lake Okeechobee as well as the Atlantic. But we both realize that fishing in the gulf, especially in land on the West Coast is a bit uncharted territory for us both. While looking at things to do word of mouth kicked in and we heard about Tide Walker Charters. The word on the street was that if you’re going with Capt Russ he’s going to put you on the fish. That is exactly what we were looking for. And the end result was exactly that. We had a half day charter booked and in that half day we caught over seven species and certainly 30 to 40 fish. Now I’m not gonna tell a long fishtail, some of the fish we’re not keepers. But my forearms were sore for a couple days after. Capt Russ knew his environment so well that when he felt the fish were not biting anymore, we moved. And then the next spot we were on the fish again. There is no doubt he possesses an inventory of locations that can light up at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I just sat back and enjoyed the ride and took in the atmosphere and the beautiful, picturesque environment. And as we journeyed between fishing spots I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him. He is an incredibly intelligent man and I wouldn’t mind calling him my friend. If you have never fished before or you are a seasoned veteran you will not be disappointed. Captain Russ will help anyone while on board. Even though I fished in October 2021 I am currently working on finding a way to get back over there as soon as possible. I need more of that! Respectfully CaptJack
