After having the misfortune of scheduling a fishing trip with Captain Chris the same week Tropical Storm Debby came to Sanibel, I was worried we wouldn't get a chance to fish. Instead of canceling Capt. Chris rescheduled after the poor weather had passed. We had a wonderful time on the trip. Even though fishing can be miserable after a storm... More

I booked with Rush Charters based on the glowing reviews they received here on TripAdvisor. Since that was what drove my decision, I wanted to be sure to add my feedback to the pool and perhaps save someone else from a poor experience. Everything at first was great. I booked online with Capt. Lacey, she called the day before as... More

We took a tarpon trip w/ Rush Charters on 4/13/12. Had the pleasure of having both Capt Lacy and Capt Josh on board. We hooked up w/ a monster just off Sanibel that our buddy fought for 2 1/2 hours (he was spent). Josh estimated that was about 150 lbs. The whole time we were hooked up, there were tarpon... More

I have been fishing with Chris for 10+ years (and Lacey since they were married a few years ago). We have brought clients down each year during the tarpon run in May off Sanibel and Captiva Islands. We have always caught fish but more importantly, we've always had a great time. A great team ... especially when one of them... More

Been fishing with Rush Charters and Captain Chris for a few years now on our annual vacation to Sanibel. Always gets us on fish and we always have fun. Highly recommend Rush Charters.

I am a serious flyfisherman and Chris' knowledge and determination to put me on fish is second to none. Chris and I fish hard during tarpon season and this has given me the opportunity to observe...

Capt Chris and Capt Lacy Rush are two of the best and most knowledgeable fishing guides that you will find in the Fort Myers area. They both know where the fish are even in the worst weather conditions. Both born and raised in the area they have extensive experience and local knowledge. Whether you want to catch tarpon on fly,... More

I'm the editor at GAFF Magazine and we needed a piece on snook fishing in the Ft. Myers area. I'd published editorials by the Rush's, so I was familiar with their snook prowess. Captains Chris and Lacey took me to their secret spots and I couldn't believe my eyes. The snook just lumbered along the beaches. Fat ones, just waiting... More

We went out a number of times for Tarpon and Snook. It was amazing how successful we were. The biggest tarpon was about 120 lbs and the snook were up to 20 lbs. You can't ask for more than that.
