I have fished with Capt Rich Smith before and I am going with him again simply because he is the best in the business! I have the good fortune to fish many places with guides and Capt Rich stands out. He works hard for you and he is an advocate of the sport and respects the resource. He is very knowledgeable and you can tell that this is not just a way to make money for him. He loves what he does! Pure and simple. He also used some of the best quality gear I have fished with on guided trips and for all you fly fishermen and woman, he is who you want guiding you. Thank you Capt Rich! I look forward to fishing with you in the near future. I got bones to pick!

My husband and I had one goal in mind when we contacted Captain Rich Smith, we were working on my husbands bucket list to catch a bonefish. Capt. Rich exceeded our expectations. He was very knowledgeable about the area and was determined that we would get our wish! He was very attentive to our needs while fishing and was very professional. His goal was that we get our fish, mission accomplished! Thank you Capt. Rich for the priceless memories!!!

Rich was UNBELIEVABLE and even better than that, he respected me as a client, he respected his industry and he respected the wildlife we encountered....fish, gators, manatees, sharks, mangrove plants...you name it.He had an incredible understanding of the ecosystem which made the entire experience something I cant wait to do again. Ive never had so much fun with a guide!...not to mention the fishing experience was great!

I fished with Captain Rich Smith for 2 full day charters in November of 2013 and had an incredible experience. He took my friend and I down to the everglades and we fished out of the Flamingo area...he poled us both around on the back of his skiff for two days and we caught more snook than we could even count! Richs knowledge of the area is second to none - he knows those waters like the back of his hand.What I was most impressed with about Rich was how hard he worked, and how fun of a guy he is to fish with. He knows how to set a great mood on the boat so that you enjoy yourself and dont get too tense while looking for those fish! It was such a great experience that I actually just booked my next trip with rich - 4 full days in early Feb. I cant wait to get back on the water with Rich and see where he brings me!If you are looking for an amazing experience with one of the best in the business - give Rich a call!-Josh

Captain Rich provided my brother and I with an absolutely unforgettable experience fishing the Everglades. I am not a regular fisherman but had an absolute blast the entire day. The experience was a highlight of our trip to South Florida and I would highly recommend anyone allow themselves the opportunity to enjoy such an amazing day.

Captain Rich Smith has been my Miami Tarpon fishing guide for a couple of years now and I can tell you the man is a Tarpon genius. The last time he took my to Hells bay way up into the Everglades where we had hundreds, yes I said hundreds of 100 plus pounds huge tarpons rolling for hours. I have never seen anything like it in all my years fishing and would highly recommend Rich and Hells bay from one angler to another

Ive fished with Rich for many years now. Ive hired him for trips in the Everglades, Biscayne Bay, and even down into the Keys. Each trip Ive learned something new, caught fish, and had a great time. I highly recommend booking a trip with him!

We had such a great time fishing with Rich. My husband and I found him on the internet and were not disappointed. We caught many Snook, Redfish, and almost landed my first Tarpon on the same day. I would highly recommend fishing with Capt. Rich because he truly cares about his customers. He doesnt run his operation by just busing clients on and off the boat like many fishing guides we have hired in the past. He made sure we caught fish and had fun. We will be back to fish with him in the future.

Good times out on the water with Captain Rich - yellow tailing in the Keys - hope to get out on the water with him in the Everglades real soon!!
