Fast Boat. Great Captain. Ready when you are!

Captain & Boat

Captain
I'm Captain Russ Wilkinson. My homeport is St. Michaels, MD. I am an experienced captain and fisherman. I have a Coast Guard captain’s license for taking guest(s) aboard a vessel in both inland and near coastal (Ocean or Sound). In addition I am Licensed with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources as a fishing guide. I am also a certified captain with the International Game Fish Association. I am a Life member of Trout Unlimited, CCA (Coastal Conservation Association), and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

Tackle
All equipment furnished is ORVIS and top of the line, recently added are ZG Helios rods. Cast easier and farther than you ever have! All tackle flies, leaders are provided. Guest(s) are not responsible for damage to equipment. The tackle includes reels for right hand retrieve and left-hand retrieve anglers with a variety of lines selected for conditions and species of fish.

Fly Fishing Boat
My boat is an Everglades 243CC. This near custom boat provides a dry, safe ride. Fly-fishing from the forward deck is a pleasure with no objects to catch your line on. Fishing for two or more anglers is comfortable. With the fishing friendly layout and plenty of storage this boat is designed to give the angler the best advantage over the fish being pursued. The Everglades easily handles the typical weather we have on the Bay. The boat is powered by YAMAHA.

Electronics
This boat is equipped with state of the art Furuno GPS (Global Positioning System), Chart plotting, Sonar, and Radar. Despite poor visibility you can be assured by these electronics that the depth under the boat, location of all objects on the water and nearest land are easily identified and navigable.

Points of debarkation
Based on fishing locations, the guest may be required to meet at a location other than Saint Michaels. Directions will be provided. Ground transportation can be provided. The best value for the guest(s) is always to meet the boat at this location. Locations for local angling will be either St. Michaels, Bellevue, Neavitt, or Tilghman. Locations may be selected that are farther away. These locations will be coordinated in advance with the guest(s). [top]
