Captain DLS was great through and through. He put us right on the fish and was a true master of his craft. He's good people too.

Booked a half day trip with CPT DLS and it was definitely worth the time and energy. The trip had plenty of keeper fish as well as other catches. Very entertaining and enjoyable trip, his boat is clean and maintained very professionally, we definitely felt very well taken care off. CPT DLS is very engaging and helpful with tips and techniques and also amazing action shots with awesome pictures and videos . I will definitely be coming back with my friends again in and again after that.
