You will target a range of species, both inshore and nearshore, including Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Snook, Sheepshead, Tripletail, Spanish Mackerel, Black Drum, and Mangrove Snapper. During the season you can even try your hand at scalloping, a great pastime for the whole family. Children are more than welcome on board. There is no minimum age required, and life vests are provided for. On the scalloping trip there is a small charge of $6 per gallon for the cleaning of the scallops once you’ve returned to the dock.

Captain Dave was knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our novice questions with a smile. He pointed out stingrays, numerous manatees, and even a large tritail fish by a crab bouy. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and will book with him again.
