Bad Circumstances, Amazing Outcome
Half Day Trip – Trolling on August 30, 20243 adults

We booked this trip with Captain Dan last minute, and he was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We booked an afternoon trolling trip with him. But the morning of he let us know that the wind off shore wouldn’t have made it favorable so he suggested an inshore trip and we gladly accepted. When we got to the ramp a late afternoon thunderstorm popped up that no one saw coming, but all of us looked at radar and it didn’t look like the storm would effect us but as everyone knows, the weather man lied and the storm continually chased up but we eventually got away from it and were able to fish and man did Capt Dan have us on the fish, we were thick in them. We caught our 3 keeper Reds really quickly and then just had fun catching the rest of the trip. And Capt Dan himself was super easy to get along with and was laid back and fun to be around, but also super smart and made it fun understanding how we were catching the fish we caught.

Dan, even when the odds were stacked against us did everything he could to make sure we had a good time. The weather was bad, the conditions weren’t great. He worked with us, got things moved around and got us our limit. Fantastic experience, thank you!!

Captain Daniel is a lifelong angler and all around outdoorsman. He developed a passion for saltwater fishing at an early age and it soon engulfed him. He studied engineering at the University of Alabama and soon after graduation realized it was not the life for him. He had only one desire, chasing fish on the reefs, bays, and flats all along the Florida Panhandle. When he travels it is typically for one reason and that is fishing. He has fished the entire Gulf of Mexico from Tuna on the oil rigs to tailing Redfish in tidal creeks. He has also fished from Islamorada to Key West chasing Tarpon as well as Outer islands of the Bahamas for Bonefish, and Costa Rica and Mexico for giant Mahi and Marlin.
