Fantastic Fishing Trip

"We first went on a fishing trip with Captain Eric in 2018 when we were in Sanibel with our (then 6 year old) grandson for his February school break. Captain Eric was great. He was knowledgeable, informative, and very helpful. He was also patient with three people who didn’t have a lot of fishing experience. It was the absolute highlight of the week for our grandson who caught the most “dinner fish.” The Lazy Flamingo will cook your catch for you, and we had a delicious fish dinner.

We have continued our February Sanibel fishing trips since then and it remains the highlight of our Sanibel week. No guarantees when fishing, but Captain Eric knows good spots and if one doesn’t work that day then another will. We always end up catching a good number of fish. Different fish in different years. Our grandson catching a shark this year will be a lifetime memory for him."

"Every year my wife & I travel to Sanibel Island for our week beach getaway from the Wyoming winter. Every year we make sure to look up Captain Eric Russell. We have never been disappointed! We Always catch fish and have a blast. Last year I caught my 1st tarpon that had to be 6 foot long and at least 140 pounds! It was the time of my life! I have recommended Eric to my friends & relatives and he has Always delivered! If you are ever in Sanibel or Captiva Islands, look up Captain Eric Russell!"

"Great Day with Capt. Eric - Really fun time on our 4-hour charter end of February. Eric worked hard to find fish, was creative with some different levels of fishing skills from our family and found fish. Eric was great with my teenage son who loved the guidance and wisdom that Eric provided. Highlight was a good sized triple tail caught between other spots. Highly recommend and we’ll book with Eric again."

"Great fishing, Capt. Eric gets It! - This guy gets it. We had four 8 year olds on this trip who are *obsessed* with fishing. Unlike prior trips where the guide seemed more interested in what he wanted to catch, Capt Eric made sure the kids simply caught fish. If it had just been the dads, he would have gone for the bigger catches that require more patience if that’s what they wanted, but he understood that these kids just want to catch some fish in FL. Kids and the dads had a great time!! Absolutely worth it!"

"Perfecto - Capt Eric is awesome. Perfect captain for your SW Florida fishing charter. I’ve done many fishing charters (20+) and strongly recommend him. I look forward to fishing with him again in the future."

"Relentless Eric is Da Bomb!! - Eric is so knowledgeable with such patience!! We started out and struggled catching fish but Eric made sure we were successful! Took us to another location and we had a blast! Had to catch 30+ fish and saw manatees and dolphin!!"

"Went out with Captain Eric today and had a blast catching red fish. They sure put up a nice fight. Thanks for the experience, it was lots of fun."

"Kids and I had a great time with Eric. Caught a ton of fish. Eric worked his tail off baiting hooks and unhooking fish. This was our second trip in the past 2 years. Will definitely book another trip the next time we are in Sanibel."

Had an absolutely incredible day with Eric...he accommodated us last minute, and brought us and our 3 kids out on the gulf for an afternoon of fishing. He was patient with our 3 ‘rookies’ and we quickly caught a wide variety of fish. The day was topped off with us hooking and working a monster shark for over an hour...we didn’t land it, but it was a huge thrill (and workout) nonetheless. The best part is our kids are now ‘hooked’ on fishing. I’ve been out with a few guides over the years, and Eric not only knows his stuff, but is patient, personable, and overall made it an amazing day. If you are looking for a fishing charter in the Sanibel area, you won’t be disappointed. Booking with Eric will be high on our priority list for our next visit to the area.

"Our trip was unbelievable. It was my sons first fishing trip and he caught 10 plus fish including a shark. The fishing spots were great. Captain Eric was awesome!! He took such good care of us, he even had our lines set up w fresh bait practically before we got the line in. he was just amazing with my son and made the experience one he will never forget!!!!! Thank you Eric.!!! We will be calling you next year."

"Reelentless Pursuit is awesome. Eric is a down to earth guy that is fun and VERY knowledgeable. Plan on catching about everything and if you want to switch it up he'll find dolphins or take you to a remote island to find sea shells. We brought our 4 and 6 year olds and they had a blast. They would play with the bait (shrimp) for a couple minutes then Eric would get a fish on and have them reel it in. Awesome time!"

"Captain Eric is terrific. I brought my 10 and 8 year along and created lifelong memories. Nice, clean boat and very professiona"

"Erik took us out today we had an excellent time. He was Very informed. Very nice. It was worth the price. We had a wonderful time!."

"Eric is a great guy - he’s honest and helpful. He chose to follow his passion & share it with others, which is why you’ll have a memorable experience with him!"

"Eric will make sure you catch fish and that you have a great time."
