Captain Cory Russell

Meet Captain Cory Russell, the gritty fishing force and waterfowl hunting aficionado in Port Aransas, Texas. A homegrown talent, he's been wrangling trophy fish and mastering these waters since he was knee-high. Cory's initiation into the world of fishing began at the ripe age of 3, thanks to a family deeply entrenched in the art of angling.

Growing up, Cory didn't daydream about rainbows and unicorns; he lived for the rugged excitement of family fishing and hunting expeditions. What truly fuels his fire is the challenge of mastering new techniques, outsmarting different species, and navigating uncharted territories. When he's not hitting the books, you'll find him waist-deep in the waves, pushing the limits with new baits and honing his no-nonsense angling skills.

For Cory, failure isn't a setback; it's a battle scar. It's a chance to toughen up, innovate, and refine his methods. His ultimate goal? To be the undisputed expert and command his own fishing and waterfowl hunting empire. Through relentless grit, he burned the midnight oil, investing in top-tier gear, boats, and everything needed to make his dreams a reality.

Now, Captain Cory Russell stands at the helm of Russell & Sons Outdoors, a no-frills Port Aransas charter fishing and waterfowl hunting guide company. His mission? To help others seize their fishing and waterfowl hunting dreams with both hands and turn them into hard-earned victories.

Thank you for supporting small business, we look forward to hearing all about your fishing adventures!
