5 Hr – Fishing Adventure on November 1, 2025 • 2 adultsMy wife and I caught quite a few nice reds and trout. Had a great time. Great captain. Would recommend. Will use again in the future, hopefully.

5 Hr – Fishing Adventure on April 30, 2024 • 2 adultsCaptain Dale did a great job putting us on some fish! The conditions weren’t the greatest as there had just been a big rain a few days prior but even with the water all murky he still put me on a 36 inch red that really made the day worth it. We also caught quite a few catfish, which were quite fun. Captain dale provided us with water and snacks as well as designated space for us to store our snacks we brought. He was helpful and friendly and we had a great time fishing with him. I highly recommend this trip!

5 Hr – Fishing Adventure on October 13, 2023 • 1 adultThis fishing trip was exactly what I was hoping for and more. I just finished my second fish-fry from the catchings of this trip, and I still have so much more to cook! I truly did not expect to have such a good time! Captain Dale is friendly, personable, and patient. It really felt like fishing with a good friend. The morning was cool, peaceful and the sunrise was beautiful. I caught a ton of fish, and I caught the largest fish of my life. If you are an inexperienced fisher or have never fished, Dale is a wonderful guide to book. I am certainly glad I did. I truly cannot wait to be back.

5 Hr – Fishing Adventure on June 8, 2024 • 2 adultsI can’t say enough good things about this trip. This is a memory my son and I will never forget. And, what excellent fishing. I caught that “Big Red” I had my heart set on. This was exactly what I had hoped it would be.
Jared Strawn5.0Half day trip with Dale
5 Hr – Fishing Adventure on June 15, 2024Great day out on the water with Dale. Dale made it happen even with the extreme amounts of fresh water in the lake pushing the trout out closer to the gulf looking for salt.
Jeremiah Norrell5.0VerifiedHalf day turned full day! Waylon got the biggest fish of his fishing career!
5 Hr – Fishing Adventure on June 5, 2023 • 2 adultsDale took us out and stuck with it. After putting us on the trout we went out to the jetty and my nephew caught a massive Jack Crevalle. Dale stuck with it for 20 minutes and Waylon landed it! He was so stoked! 100% would fish with Dale again!! Thank you!!

5 Hr – Fishing Adventure on July 4, 2023 • 2 adultsHad a great day fishing with Captain Dale. He is a courteous friendly man. Took a few spots to find some hungry fish. But found a great spot where they were hungry and caught some fish. Even got to see some small alligators swimming by us.
