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

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. More

I've been fishing with Chris and Lacey Rush in the inshore and offshore waters of Pine Island Sound, the Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf along the Sanibel and Captiva Islands for over 15 years. I have memories of my very young kids catching their first redfish on the flats, to fighting Tarpon in the beautiful waters off North Captiva. As... More
