    Best time!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on March 14, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Dalton was the best! We went to a couple of spots and if the fish weren't biting he moved. We caught a few fish and had a blast. He was very patient and kind with the kids. We all enjoyed ourself and are looking forward to next year.

    Half day with Captain Dalton

    Half Day Trip (AM) on November 20, 2021

    Captain Dalton is a a very knowledgeable fishing captain. Growing up in the area, he has come to know all the best areas and the best time to fish them. He has put me on my biggest snook, and my biggest redfish. Captain Dalton never fails to put you on some fish. Definitely would recommend a charter with this guy!
