Dalton PerrienRepeat angler5.0Verified10/10
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childThere is no words to describe such an awesome experience! Captain Dave is a very experienced, knowledgeable, respected, and well rounded guy with a great sense of humor. The moment I shook his hand I could tell that he thoroughly enjoyed doing what he does and was looking forward to getting us on some fish. The three boys and I landed over 30 fish of 7 different species in roughly 2 hours of casting. Dave was kind, patient, and willing to share his knowledge (and even some good stories)! The boat was nice, clean, well equipped, and spacious enough for the 5 of us in total. We will absolutely be booking again with Captain Dave.

Half Day Trip (PM) on October 31, 2025 • 2 adultsmy wife and I spent a lovely afternoon with Captain Dave on Halloween. It was a real treat, catching 15 fish, including a number of largemouth bass and a number of peacock bass. We also hooked a few exotic fish and even caught a gar. Captain Dave was accommodating, fun to spend the afternoon with, and extremely knowledgeable of the fishing area and the fish we caught. Would highly recommend captain Dave to anyone who wanted to have a great afternoon Fishing
Michael Reif5.0VerifiedCaught a bunch of fish! Only one rule.
Full Day Trip on April 22, 2026 • 2 adultsDave was great! The first rule of Dave’s boat, only Dave drives the boat! Other than that, just about anything goes, so makes it easy and fun. He knows the area well, knows whete the fish are, and has goid gear. Cant go wrong!

Nice relaxing trip in the beautiful everglades!
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 3, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Dave was awesome! The everglades are amazing.
Craig FirpoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 29, 2025 • 2 adultsI fished on private charters from the Bahamas,St Lucia,Mexico,Barbados,Jamaica,Barbados’s, Bermuda,Etc. Florida, I have caught Hammerhead’s , Big game fish, I also have fished Fresh water all my life. Captain Dave was by far my best experience I ever had. He took me and my 14 year old son out and within 15 mins ,my son had 2 beautiful peacock Bass on the Boat!!. We stopped counting after 20 fish. We also had to contend with a huge Gator up against our boat. It made the fishing even more exciting, trying to get the fish on the boat before the gator ate the fish. Captain Dave, you honestly did exactly what you promised to do, although catching fish is never guaranteed ,however you made it happen. We caught ,I don’t know how many Peacock bass, huge Bowfin,Large mouth bass, I’m not sure how to spell it ,but cicklets. ? Captain Dave, on behalf of me and my son,we can’t thank you enough for making this day unforgettable. Every time I go back to Florida, you will definitely see us again. I can’t wait to fish with you again. Thank you sincerely Craig Firpo & Salvatore Firpo 🎣

If you’re looking for the best fishing guide, Dave is your guy—hands down. We caught soooo many fish it almost didn’t feel real. From the moment we got on the water, he knew exactly where to go and what to do. Super knowledgeable, easygoing, and made the whole experience fun whether you’re a beginner or seasoned angler. He kept us on fish the entire trip, helped with baiting, casting, and made sure everyone was reeling something in. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in the results. Highly recommend booking with Dave if you want an amazing day and a boat full of fish. We’ll definitely be back! 🎣
