Hello Captain Mike Russell,
Rich and I just returned from dinner and couldn’t help but write you right away about the great day we had with Chubasco Charters. From start to finish, we could not have asked for a better experience. Our first communications with you were extremely responsive, friendly, informative, and professional. Captain Adam and the Mate, Kirk, were great. They arrived exactly as you promised and took us off to enjoy the beautiful day. Adam was so enthusiastic and his love for fishing was infectious. Kirk, although a man of few words, was encouraging and kind.
For me, my first experience fishing was fantastic and beyond any expectations I could have had. As for Rich, who has fished in the Northeast, he kept commenting about how impressed he was by the skill and knowledge of the crew. On top of all that, we caught three beautiful Wahoo and a Barracuda! At the end of our time fishing, Adam gave us a recommendation to have our Wahoo cooked at Montague Gardens. The restaurant provided us a wonderful meal (the Wahoo that we caught today) with fantastic service in a lovely atmosphere.
Thanks so much for giving us this great memory. We will not forget our time in the Bahamas, especially fishing with Chubasco, and we hope we can experience it again someday soon and share the experience with others.
Best to you, Adam, Kirk and everyone at Chubasco Charters!

Dear Capt Mike,
We had the most fantastic time fishing with Adam (a fine son, you should be proud) and Kirk. They did a great job. Seemed Like we always had a fish on. At one time we had 5 Black Fin Tuna on at one time. Talk about fun. All the passengers were boys from the group we traveled with except the one exception was our dear friend Dawn who is in the end stages of breast cancer and we fear that we will be saying good bye soon. She agreed to come and said while she was riding in the deep sea portion of our adventure that she had never felt so alive. I can't count how many fish we caught. Mostly Ahi Black Fin Tuna and the a variety of fish including a very large Mahi Mahi, uncountable Barracuda, and many Yellow Tail Snapper. Your son is a great captain, patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. He found the Tuna by finding a large group of birds on a feeding frenzy. We took 28 + pictures and will send you some of the best. Many thanks! We'll be back for sure!

Hello Chubasco Charters,
I just wanted to send out a giant THANK YOU to Captain Malcolm and his mate Moose. My 25th. Wedding Anniversary gift was a fishing trip with Malcolm. I fished with my son and his best friend. They had never been trolling before. When I found out the seas were 8'-10' I was skeptical about catching fish. Malcolm assured me first thing that we would catch more fish than we cared to reel in. Although the seas were really rough, we had the time of our life! I lost track of how many Wahoo & Mahi-Mahi we caught, but it was at least 20 apiece. On the way in although I had said I wasn't reeling in another fish guess what happened..one reel went down.. Capt. Malcolm stopped the boat and within seconds 2 more reels go down. Well I had to reel in another fish!!! And it was the biggest Wahoo of all, about 60 lbs!!! . I looked up at Capt. Malcolm and he was like a little kid dancing around... he was having as much fun as we were. It is highly unusual in my experience for a captain to enjoy seeing people catch fish as much as Capt. Malcolm does. A big THANK YOU to Malcolm and his mate Moose for making this a day I will never forget.
Thank you!!
Jeff Lee
P.S. When I return to Atlantis I will no doubt book another trip with Malcolm. I have told everyone I know about him and Chubasco Charters!

Just wanted to let you know that this was undoubtedly the best fishing experience of my life, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the way our charter went! Captain Adam Russell and First Mate Kirk Johnson displayed the utmost in professionalism, courtesy, patience and seamanship for us, and it was truly appreciated! We got into a couple of schools of very nice Blackfin Tuna, and I really can't put into words the thrill of seeing the line peel off of 4 reels at once when the fish hit!! This was truly the experience of a lifetime for me, and my expectations were clearly surpassed!! It was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to fish with Capt. Adam and First Mate Kirk, and I'm already planning trips with Chubasco Charters for late fall '09 and spring '10. I would HIGHLY recommend Chubasco to anyone considering fishing Nassau!!..Thanks again for everything, we appreciate everything you did for us so much!!
Sincerely,
Pat O'Connell

Dear Captain Mike and Charleston,
Thank you for a great morning of reef fishing on June 8th. Luis and I really enjoyed catching barracuda, spanish mackerel and yellow tail snapper. It was the first time reef fishing for me.
The arrangements you made with Montague Gardens to cook our catch were much appreciated. The restaurant did a terrific job preparing the fish and also provided us with a ride back to Atlantis.
We are looking forward to fishing with you the next time we are in the Bahamas.

Hey Guys,
My wife and I went on the charter October 2nd, 2008 with Capt. Mike Russell's son Capt. Adam. It was an incredible experience and I can honestly say that if we ever get a chance to come back, we will not think twice about taking another charter with your company. In fact, the only thing we would change is to go for a full day instead of a half day! Adam was even willing to drive us over to a restaurant (in his own car!) with the freshly caught fish, to have it cooked for our lunch. Truly one of a kind!
I just wanted to show you guys a website that I am involved in, called www.FishAddix.com. Its a fishing "social network" site that allows anglers to post pictures and connect with other anglers. We would love if you guys joined (its free!) and posted any kind of information about Chubasco. You are welcome to advertise on the site, post pictures, fishing reports, blogs, etc. In fact, if you guys post any blogs or reports I can tag them as "featured content" to show up on our front page! Just let me know. We have a smaller user base right now, but we are growing all the time. I hope you guys take advantage of our website to reach more potential customers,
Jesse

Capt. Mike, Just thought I would let you know that my wife and myself had a great time fishing with Capt. Malcolm and Moose on March 4 2009. This was our first sport fishing trip and it was all that we could have hoped for and then some. Very pleased with the 14 Mahi-mahi and Wahoo we caught. Crew was great and very professional. Looking forward to booking a charter with you in the future.

Dear Capt. Mike Russell
I just wanted to show my appreciation for having me aboard your fishing charter (Chubasco III) on Friday of August 1, 2008. The fishing was spectacular, never a dull moment, and it was a great experience for a first time in the Bahamas. I enjoyed visiting with Charlton (your mate) as well and he was such a great help. I learned a lot from him. Thanks for giving a fine adventure and hope all is well with you and your family.

Hi,
This is Joshua, The 12 year old who caught the 42 lb Mahi-Mahi (June 21, 2008). After I caught that huge Mahi-Mahi (click here for photo) I knew I would now be called a REAL fisherman and not a fisherman “wannabe”. That is the first fish I caught over 10 lbs. It is amazing to think that I had the opportunity to catch that monster of a fish. I thought it was cool to have to run to the chair like the fisherman on T.V. I am still shocked that I have the memory of the fight I had with that Monster Fish. Now I have something for everybody to remember about me.
So to wrap it up, Thank you for the opportunity for me to catch that HUGE Mahi-Mahi.

Hello Capt. Mike,
Just wanted to follow-up on our charter from last week (June 4, 2008). We had a great time, this being our second trip with your sons Adam and Matt over the past three years. They really worked for us and were very attentive, especially to my three children (ages 4, 8 & 10) who had a great time with all of the action. Overall, we landed five dorado, two skipjack and a yellowfin tuna; a good day by any measure, especially with the dorado running in the 30-50 pound range. And the dinner at Montagu Gardens that evening topped off an excellent day.
We will definately give you a call in advance of our next trip down to Atlantis. Thanks again for a memorable day of fishing.
Best regards, Mark

I would like to thank you for an awesome time on Friday, April 11, 2008, it was enjoyable catching 10 dolphin and 2 barracuda with my family. I would highly recommend Chubasco Charters to anyone. Captain Mike and his first mate (son Matt) were very enjoyable to be around and have a wealth of knowledge relating to fishing in Nassau.

Good evening,
I am a bit slow getting this sent, but I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our fishing trip with Chubasco in July. Your crew was friendly and knowledgeable. They made every effort to make our day one to remember. If we ever have the opportunity to revisit Nassau, a fishing excursion with your company will definitely be part of our trip.

I just wanted to write to say thank you for such a wonderful day of fishing with Captain Mike and Charlton on Chubasco III. Our catch of 10 mahi and 7 wahoo in a 4 hour charter has to be one of the best afternoons of fishing I have ever had. It certainly was for the the rest of the group as they had never been deep sea fishing! I have included photos of the catch and of me holding one (click here for photo) of the large mahi that we caught. I will definitely be sure to recommend your operation to anyone headed to Nassau/Paradise Island.

Mike,
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased I was with the trip my son, Bobby, and I took on Chubasco VI on April 5. Both Adam and Malcom did a great job and we ended up with 7 nice dolphin, plus we had a lot of other action. We circled plenty of tuna schools but they spooked easily that day. Probably just as well since as Adam pointed out every school we came across contained a large shark.
Thanks again and next time we come back for another family vacation I'll be sure to hook up with you again.

Hi Capt. Mike,
Just wanted to let you know that we again had a great time this year on both trips fishing with Captains Adam and Malcolm. Plenty of fish, lots of activity, good weather and a great pair of guys to be out with. Likewise, your friends at Montagu Gardens did a superb job for us with a mutton snapper and yellowtail feast.
Of course, the highlight had to be seeing Capt. Adam pulling on a mask and plunging over the side to see what it was that we couldn't budge off the bottom. Turned out to be a mutton snapper that had wrapped the leader around a piece of coral, which he proceeded to gaff and bring back up. (click here to see photo) Talk about going overboard for a customer!
We'll be seeing you again next March. Thanks again.

Capt. Mike,
For sport fishing in Nassau, I would highly recommend your Chubasco Charters. I fished on the 38-foot Hatteras Chubasco VI on 2/28/07 with your son Capt. Adam and really enjoyed the experience. Adam is a skilled skipper and quite personable.
I have fished on several charters, most notably in Kailua, Kona Hawaii, which has one of the top fleets in the world. I am qualified to say that your Chubasco Charters is a 1st class operation. You and your team are very responsive, professional and skilled. You offer quality skippering and crewing, a superior boat, and excellent value for money spent.
