Visiting Fl with my wife. Was looking for a charter to do by myself. Capt. Dave gave me what I was looking to do. Caught some snapper to start to morning out. Wanted some fish for tacos. Then we headed for some Red Fish.. Took 1 cast to get a nice fish in the boat. Caught a few more then went to try a find some Spanish Mackerel. Didn’t catch any of those but caught a lot of other fish we threw back. Kept me on fish the whole time. Perfect day for what I wanted to do.
I would recommend Captain David highly! He knew where all the great spots to fish. The 3 of us caught over 2 dozen fish. He also a great guy and from the area,
Captain David Sherman was “OUTSTANDING “. He was especially patient and helpful with my 11 year old Grandson. We will return next year and book Captain Dave. Trip best for Father and Son. Grandpa and Grandson
captain dave was awesome. caught alot of fish kids loved the fly bridge and even figured out a new nickname for my wife haha. highly recommend.
