Absolutely incredible experience with Salty Day Fishing Charters! Captain David never gave up and stayed after it until we found fish. You can tell he truly cares about making sure everyone has a great time and gets the full experience out on the water. The highlight of the trip was doing the catch and cook on a local island — hands down one of the coolest experiences we’ve ever had. Fresh fish cooked right there, amazing atmosphere, and memories we’ll never forget. If you’re booking a trip, you should absolutely do the catch and cook option. True five-star experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Thank yall for putting the trust in me to get it done. glad yall enjoyed the meal as much as i did preparing it!!! Great day hope to see yall again! 🐠💯
Me and my grilfriend took a trip to crystal river for our first vacation and have never fished flordia waters, we went through many caiptans and charter in between the bad weather thats been happening, and David was the best captain around to make sure we got out on thw water. He taught us everything we needed to know, helped us with parking, taking off fish, putting on bait, gave us water and sodas all around the best and only captain ill ever book with when it comes to are next trip i would TRULY make sure you book with him before anyone else best man out there hands down !!!
Thanks for the opportunity to have yall aboard. yall was an absolute pleasure and welcome back anytime!!
We had a great fishing experience with Captain Dave! He showed up right on time and had us out on the water in no time. Dave took us to several prime spots, taking the time to explain what types of fish we were targeting and the best techniques to hook them. He let us do all the hands-on fishing, stepping in to help when we needed it. As our first guided fishing trip, it was an awesome experience. We reeled in quite a few fish (even if they weren't all keepers!) and we will definitely be booking with Captain Dave again next time.
Thanks for trusting in me and having the patience in the conditions we had but was still able to catch fish on a less than desirable day!!
Captain Dave is a professional angler. He took the time to explain the area, what fish types of fish were biting and some tips to catch them. We started catching fish at our first stop. I caught a flonder on my first cast. We caught 10+ different species of fish. At the end of the day Captain Dave cleaned our fish and gave us some cooking tips. Be sure to get a bottle of his Salty Day blackened rub. It truly adds to the meal you are bringing home.
Tim what a Blessing to have such a great crew aboard yesterday. look foward to doing it again… 🐠💯🙌🙏
My wife and I had a great day out on the water. Captain Dave was awesome. We went in the afternoon to Scallop. the water got a little mucky the later it got. Help helped us find pltnybofnspots to have a great time and catch us a few. Next time we will go earlier but before that the family and us will head down in the winter to fish with Cap. Great guy!
Thanknyou Joe, it was a pleasure hanging out the afternoon with you and your wife. yall are welcome back anytime!! ✅🇺🇸💯🙌
