South Dakota, US•Member since 20262 trips5.0VerifiedBest part of our vacation!
Half Day Trip on March 11, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Roland is definitely an expert of the area. He knew all the best spots to take us so that we’d catch fish. The time of the year we were here, we caught snook, snapper, & Jack Crevalle. He gave the boys tips as we went so they’d catch more or just get better at fishing. Captain Roland is personable & helpful. Our half day went so fast! You won’t be sorry if you book a trip with Captain Roland

Half Day Trip - 12:15 PM on December 29, 2025 • 4 adultsOur experience with Captain Roland was exceptional. My daughters, husband, and I all successfully caught fish. Captain Roland's extensive knowledge significantly enhanced our day. We enjoyed the experience so much that we have also booked an iguana hunt with him. We highly recommend his services.

Half Day Trip on April 22, 2025 • 6 adultsIt was our first time fishing in FL waters and Captain Roland made sure it won’t be our last! He was ready to go when we arrived having already filled up the live bait well. Our party included our 81 year old father and teenaged sons, and Roland was able to tend to all of our needs. We started out catching trout for dinner and had other fun with ladyfish, and a venomous catfish he made sure we didn’t touch. We moved on to our second spot where we quickly brought a snook to the boat, landed a snapper, and even caught a grouper. We had a ton of action in all 4 hours of our morning trip. The boat and tackle were top notch. Captain Roland was informative and worked his butt off to make sure we had fun.
Roy Huffman•Dayton, OH, USMember since 20215.0VerifiedCaptain Roland!
Half Day Trip on March 31, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 childrenCaptain Roland with Dayshape charters worked hard from before sunrise catching fresh bait, to on the boat getting us to the fish. Captain Roland’s boat was very nice and so was his personality. He clearly stated his boat rules and patiently worked with baiting poles and unhooking fish while also coaching anyone with questions. Just the kind of captain you would wish for with a good mixture of of fishing wisdom, experience, and energy. Would certainly go with him again in the future
David Chmielewski•Rockford, MN, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedFamily trip
Half Day Trip on March 27, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a blast. My wife had one on within seconds of her first cast. Our 9 year old loves to fish and caught so many he had to take a break for a few minutes. Our 4 year old isn’t much for fishing but loves being on the water. It was such a fun experience for all of us. We would definitely recommend using day shape and capt Roland to anyone looking for a great day of catching fish. When we come back to the area we will be using him again.

Thank you so much for the review! 🙏 yall were awsome to have aboard!
Our family had a great time! Roland was very friendly, fun and knowledgeable! We would definitely book with him again! He cleaned the fish for us and told us how to prepare it. It was delicious! We hope to go on another charter in the future.
My boyfriend and I booked this charter and honestly didn’t know what to expect since neither of us had done it before and it was absolutely amazing! It was a slower day according to captain Roland but we were still catching way more fish than we ever expected! Captain Roland was great, he was super knowledgeable and patient with both of us and had a great attitude. We will definitely be back!!
