5 Hour Trip – nearshore
Kids had a blast
Took my kids (7 & 14) on their first inshore trip. Captain Dan is a good, easy-going dude and great with kids. We fished on good equipment and had a selection of live and cut bait to choose from. Captain Dan’s style is to give you the tools and tips and offer any assistance needed, while also giving you the space to make your own bait/fishing decisions and find your own rhythm. We found the fish, got a variety of species, made good memories <core memories!>, grabbed some nice pics, and had delicious fish tacos for dinner. Great experience - would do again and recommend.

We had a great day on the water with captain Dan. First order of business was safety. Dan showed us where all the safety gear was and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. He was equally persistent on putting is on the fish. Multiple moves produced 7 different species and 19 fish overall. Dan catered to what ever we wanted to do, making sure all our request's and needs were filled. Super job Dan, tight lines, thank you!

Great family friendly fishing
My parents (in their early 70s) had a great time fishing on Friday 01/10/2025 (5 hr near shore fishing). Captain Dan was attentive to my parents’ specific needs and safety. We caught a variety of different species, ranging from sheepshead, to whitefish, to a leopard shark. He is very accommodating and flexible, keeping us informed of the changing winter ocean conditions. We ended up pushing our reservation from Wed to Fri. We are already thinking about booking another family fishing trip with Captain Dan in late spring or early summer.

The type of fishing everyone can enjoy
We had a great experience and an incredible time fishing. We didn't have to waste much time dealing with bait or set up, and we're landing fish within 30 minutes of climbing on board. The SD Slot Machine has everything you need and the captain will do everything he can to make sure you are going home with at least a few good meals in the cooler.

This was a great trip. Been on many different 4 hr trips. It was the best yet. Dan was great with my 9 year old. Turning him into a life long angular. This trip did exactly what I hoped for. Multiple species and lots of fish. 8 different species and 36 fish. Boat was clean, tackle was in great shape. Overall it was a blast.
