Captain Donald was a great guide. Put up with my dad and uncle on a boat alone and was very patient and polite. If you knew my dad and uncle the way they behave, Donald should be considered a saint. Would highly recommend.
Capt. Don was patient and persistent in making sure that we caught fish. He was enthusiastic, friendly and took the time to ensure that we enjoyed our trip!!
Jeff, thanks a lot appreciate you guys! I enjoyed having you guys on deck as well!
Don was awesome. I caught my first snook and it was 38”! And after a full moon! Don was friendly and knowledgeable and put us on fish for me, my brother and dad. We will definitely book him again!!
I don’t do charters very often and have had some bad experiences with them in the past. But since I was visiting a friend in Melbourne I thought I’d give it a go and try to get my first snook and get my girlfriend on her first big fish. Captain Don did a great job putting us on the fish and showing us the technique. He managed to get 2 novices multiple stud snook and myself on snook after snook and finished the day with a bull redfish. We all had a great time and I look forward to coming back in the future.
Thanks Tristan!
Captain Don did an amazing job of putting my father and I on fish the entire morning! His boat and equipment were well kept and fairly new and he had no problem filling the live well with lots of good bait. We successfully fished three habitats in a four hour charter. He first took us to some nice eel grass flats where we landed a good sized sea trout. Then we headed to the inlet where we were expertly put on more fish while the surrounding anglers looked on. We caught three respectable snook. Then we ran down the beach until we found some tarpon rolling near shore. We hooked a 100+ pound tarpon and fought it for a long while until it straightened the hook. Capt. Don took many videos and pictures throughout the day. He has an agreeable personality and was always concerned about our welfare and desires. Check out his instagram page (his full name) to see what he has been catching. Highly recommended!!
It was good having you guys. See you during snook season.

Your captain
Captain Donald has always been a natural when it comes to fishing. Not only does he love to cast a line, but fish seem to love him back, so he decided to make the most of it. He has been a captain for 15 years, and guiding became his full-time job in 2016, when he decided to sell his company and spend more time with his family. He specializes in catching Snook, and his policy is — Why not do something you love, and get paid for it too!
