Veteran owned and operated
Captain DJ is a US Navy veteran with one simple mission on all the trips he runs: "Just honesty and integrity in making sure that every trip is unique and enjoyable to my clients."
With AARedfishFelicity LLC, this is exactly what you can expect! Capt. DJ is the most kid-friendly captain in the Everglades, he’s eager to share his love of fishing with them. He will give his all on every trip to make sure you have a productive and memorable time while fishing the beautiful waters of Everglades National Park.
You will be spending the day on board Capt. DJ’s 2021 23’ C-Hawk bay boat powered by a 225 HP Honda engine and can fish 4 anglers. This center console will let you move effortlessly in the shallow waters of Everglades National Park.
You have a huge range of species you can go after on your trip, from Redfish and Trout to Tarpon, Snook, and even Shark. You also have the option to jig, pop, spin, drift bottom fish, and even fly fish if you bring your own gear. You will be provided with quality conventional light tackle rods and reels, and a variety of lures to tempt even the fussiest fish around.
This is a chance to dive deep into the heart of Southern Florida. You can explore the endless backwaters of the Everglades National Park. Children of all ages are welcome and Capt. DJ has life vests for them.
Customers will get to fish with Bull bay rods along with Daiwa BG reels. Lures and licenses are also included, and Capt. DJ will even clean and fillet your fish after the trip. Just bring your food, sunscreen, bug repellant, and plenty of energy – Capt. DJ will put it to good use!

My brother in law and I arrived at the marina and were immediately greeted in the parking area by the Captain. He directed us to his boat and we were on our way. We talked about what we were looking to target and he got right on it. Our first stop produced some fish and it was amazing to see all the rolling tarpon. I’ve fished with a number of charter Captains, I myself worked on a boat. This guy is great, friendly, courteous and professional. He’s not going to stick in one spot, he’s not taking you for just a boat ride! He finds the fish! We released a lot of fish but did keep a couple that the Captain filleted so that we could take to a local restaurant. Overall great experience! We’ll be back!

After I had a last minute cancellation by another guide, DJ saved the day with me and my kids. Quick to respond to me message, we quickly worked out a same day trip. We had a great time fishing the Everglades, catching a wide variety of fish. A pleasant captain and skilled guide, we were comfortable, safe, and relaxed for a fun day on the water.

Capt put us on some fish on a beautiful March day. Capt DJ is very amiable and strives to give his clients the best experience possible. Was very accommodating to my 11 year old grandson. I look forward to using his services again.

Special 6 hour trip for Dave Thorp
We caught 8 species of fish and caught over 35 Sea Trout. Captain DJ is great and cleaned our keepers for a fish dinner. Nice stable boat with a new 200hp engine that flies across the water.
