Thomas Dicampli5.0VerifiedReally enjoyable day!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 3, 2025 • 2 adultsThe weather hasn’t been great & the wind & storms have the water all mixed up which isn’t ideal for fishing. Captain Dave still managed to put me on some fish. Having never fished this area I was hoping to catch some new species. Captain Dave helped accomplish that mission. I caught a gag grouper, mangrove snapper, and snook for the first time ever. Also caught a couple sea trout & a pompano. It was also a pleasure hanging out with Captain Dave who is a really nice guy. Especially if you are not very experienced, or even at all experienced with fishing, I couldn’t recommend Captain Dave more!
Jack WallaceRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGood time, fun, educational
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 18, 2025 • 2 adultsGood time with Capt Dave. Very windy, fishing was slow, but Capt Dave did all he could to find fish. We caught a lady fish, a Sheephead, cravel (sic) jack, and snooks. Capt Dave is knowledgeable, eager to help and inform, and a hard worker. Three of us kept him busy re-baiting hooks. This was my second trip with Capt Dave, looking forward to a third…
Richard SchneiderRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThank You Captain Dave!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 7, 2024 • 2 adultsI have done several charters in Florida and would rate Capt Dave with the best. He was an awesome guide and made my wife and I feel like we were fishing with a long time friend. Dave kept us on top of fish and if things slowed down a bit we moved and found more. My wife caught the inshore Grand Slam!! We kept a couple of fish and had them cooked at a nearby restaurant. I will definitely book with Dave next time we are in the area. Thanks for the wonderful fishing trip!!
Katherine Mcknight5.0VerifiedIt was like fishing with a friend
3/4 Day Trip – Island and River on March 4, 2024 • 2 adultsWe are local folks and are experienced fisherman. Captain Dave picked us up early at our dock and had everything ready for us. He has good reels, rods, and plenty of bait. a real delight, and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. We highly recommend him and plan to do so with our friends and renters stay with us.
