For our next boat of the month we highlight a man fondly known as 'Captain Daddy'. Helmed by Captain Tim Russell, Captain Daddy's Fishing Charters is owned by a Florida native whose love for fishing runs as deep as the waters of the greater Daytona Beach area where he grew up. Captain Tim's journey from a young boy with a passion for fishing to a seasoned charter captain is a testament to his dedication and love for the sport. This family-friendly charter company has been reeling in memories for years, and looks forward to being able to spend the day with you!
While fishing with Captain Daddy's offshore you'll find yourself aboard 'Daddy's Office', a 32.5 ft Stamas Tarpon, powered by twin Yamaha 300 horsepower outboards. Unlike most center consoles, this vessel boasts an impressive 11.5 ft beam, providing ample fishing space for his clients. The combination of power, size, and comfort makes it an ideal for an exceptional fishing experience. Amenities include an insulated fish box, live well, dry storage, padded rails, T-top, and a bimini for plenty of shade. Plus, all of the top of the line electronics & fishing gear that make finding the next catch a breeze! For inshore trips you will enjoy 'Daddy's Daycare' a 22 ft Epic Bay boat powered by a 250 horsepower Suzuki engine, spacious enough to fit four anglers while still accessing the narrow waterways of the intracoastal.
While his friends were preoccupied with traditional sports, young Tim was already casting lines and exploring every waterbody he could find. His parents soon realized that fishing was not just a passing hobby for him; and by age 14 Tim was already manning his first boat. This early start allowed him to hone his skills, learning the intricate techniques and understanding the patterns of various fish species. Fast forward nearly three decades later, and Captain Daddy still thrives on the waters of Ponce Inlet, his passion for fishing as vibrant as ever. In 2015, Captain Tim transitioned his lifelong hobby into a professional endeavor by starting his own charter business. This move allowed him to share his love for fishing with others, creating unforgettable experiences for his clients. For Captain Tim, the most rewarding aspect of being a charter captain is witnessing the sheer excitement of his customers as they reel in their catches. Whether the fish are big or small, the joy they bring to his clients is immeasurable.
Captain Tim has a particular fondness for bottom fishing. The unpredictability of what might be caught on any given day adds a thrilling element to his trips. Each outing is a new adventure, with the potential to hook into something unexpected and extraordinary. His deep knowledge of the out local waters and his commitment to creating memorable fishing adventures make him a beloved figure in the local fishing community. With nearly three decades of experience under his belt, Captain Daddy continues to inspire and excite anglers of all ages, sharing the thrill and joy of fishing one trip at a time.
