Father Son Fishing Trip
Captain Dalton and First mate Bush were excellent. We did not catch much fish but Captain made every effort when the fish where not biting to find areas that we could find shark and we had great success. I appreciated Captain Daltons honesty up front saying the it had been hit or miss this week. The fish might not have bern biting a lot but Honestly the fishing is always secondary on my trip with my son Grayson. Weather was perfect and the guys where very friendly, knowledgeable and true experts at there craft

6 hour fishing trip with Capt. Dalton and First Mate Michael (Reel Pleasures Fishing Charter)
ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC!!!! Best deep sea fishing trip ever, highly recommended. I was the only one that had deep sea fishing experience, and this would be a first time for 5 other family members. I shared this with Captain Dalton and asked him to provide a no pressure great experience for the family. Boy did he and First Mate Michael deliver! Thinking back there was nothing that could have been any better. They put us on lots of fish, helped everyone reel in their catch, and totally made everyone extremely comfortable! They were a lot of fun and made us feel so welcomed. Once back on land they cleaned our fish, bot skin on and skin off, packaged them up in zip lock bags for each family member. The boat was extremely well kept, plenty of room, electronics put us where we needed to be and the boat had all the fishing gear needed. The trip was so good that we are now planning another trip in July with two other couples. You can't go wrong booking your trip with Reel Pleasures Fishing Charter!

We took a ten hour offshore trip. Captain Dalton put us on fish pretty much right away and Ansley (the first mate) worked her butt off keeping everything on deck running smoothly. We ended up with tuna , mahi mahi, and king mackerel. All in all a great day with an awesome crew!!!
