Holy Smokes Fishing Charters
Holy Smokes Fishing Charters
Holy Smokes Fishing Charters is a charter with a tradition. Captain Dan is a Florida native, and fishing has been part of his life for as long as he can remember. His specialties include deep water bottom fishing and trolling, and that's just for starters. As a member of the Florida Fishing Guides Association, he has more than 25 years of experience with fishing on the east coast of Florida. It's safe to say that this is someone who knows his salt.
You will be fishing aboard a 28' Mako center console boat boasting a Yamaha 300 HP engine. It can carry up to four perspective anglers and is suitable for both inshore and offshore trips. Among the things that are also found on the Mako boat are Raymarine electronics, TACO Marine outriggers, a 30-gallon live baitwell and two downriggers. A large ice box is also provided so you can store any snacks or extra drinks you might want to bring. While the Mako is built to ensure smooth sailing, people who might be prone to seasickness should consider bringing preventives with them as a precaution on long trips.
When it comes to inshore fishing with Captain Dan, you can look forward to exploring the beaches, inlets, and other inshore areas for Cobia and Tarpon. Offshore fishing is his thing, so expect to sail the wrecks for Sailfish, Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, and more besides. If bottom fishing is your thing, there are plenty of Groupers, Snappers, and Triggerfish to go around. As someone who fishes year-round, he will always be able to figure out the best way for you to spend the time - regardless of weather or season.
No fishing license is needed, and Captain Dan will provide all the necessary tackle and bait. Bring along some snacks, a camera, and most importantly, a go-getter attitude and get ready to sail out.

Our private fishing charter with Captain Dan was an outstanding experience from start to finish! He was incredibly accommodating and made sure everyone in our group was comfortable and having a great time throughout the trip. What really made the day special was the variety of fishing we got to experience. We weren't limited to just one style. He mixed things up and caught a great variety of fish, which kept the action exciting all day long. Captain Dan knew exactly where to go and was always willing to adjust the plan to give us the best possible experience.
Thank you so much! i don’t realize what I’m doing. I just catch fish. And for someone to point this out is amazing. Thanks agIn!
Dan was awesome!! when did the half day trip for my sons 11th birthday and it was worth every penny, we fished three different spots and caught fish at all three locations , even had the chance to fight a shark a couple times “which was a first for my son and I.Dan was extremely knowledgeable about the fish and area. and whever you turned arround to grab a new bait he was already there with a bait in hand and would throw it on the hook and you would be back fishing instantly!!. Dan went above and beyond the whole trip making the experience even better,”” he even flayed and bagged the fish”. I highly recommend Dan, Thanks againg for am amazing trip!!!! We wil be back soon
Thank you for the awesome review! I had a great time fishing wirh you guys!
Captain Dan put us on fish right away. His boat is amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. I would highly recommend Holy Smokes to anyone looking for a great fishing experience!
Thank you! You guys were great and made my day super easy! I even got to fish! Look forward to see you and your family again!
Thank you!
Danny was awesome, he called the day before to ask suggestions or see what we had in mind and gave us directions to meeting point. He asked us to get there a little early to head out and allow us more time to fish which is always a bonus! So my son and I got there early headed out and hooked some fish! Highly recommend to anyone it was well worth the trip.
