Great day of fishing with the family
5 Hour Trip – Offshore on April 3, 20262 adults2 children

Captian Dave helped us have a perfect day. He was so patient and helpful with my kids, 8 and 11 years old, and made sure they had an unforgettable experience. From the dozens of red snapper we caught, the two bonnet sharks, and the most fun, two 70lb black drum, we had a day! I would highly recommend a trip with Captain Dave to anyone looking for a good experience

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Black Seabass

Fun in the Sun
4 Hour Trip – Jetty/Inlet - 1:30 PM on March 8, 20266 adults

we had a wonderful time on the water with D & R Charters. The Captain worked very hard for the six of us. Most of us were new to salt water fishing but the instruction was spot on and we caught lots of fish. Even recommended a place to cook up out catch and it was delicious. you won’t regret choosing D & R for your fishing excursion!!!

Response from Captain

Thank yall very much! Im glad everyone enjoyed themselves and the fish!

Constant Action as We Dodged the Cold
5 Hour Trip – Offshore on February 7, 20264 adults

Working with Captain Dave we managed our February fishing trip around changing weather and had a great time. We all caught our maximum number of Sea Bass keepers as along with a bunch of catch-and-release fish including Red Snapper. Captain Dave was tireless and fun to be with. and his voice of music was not bad either ;) . Highly Recommend.

4 Hour Trip – Jetty/Inlet - 1:30 PM on March 15, 20264 adults

I've been on 15 charter boats over the years and David was, by far, the best captain I've ever had. We had a group of 4 adults. David grew up in the area and he knows the waters well. He put us on fish the entirety of our 4 hour trip, we caught a lot of fish and just had a lot of fun in the process.

Reported catch:
Black Drum

Thank yall Mr. Roy. Hope to take yall again in the future!

Action galore and tired arms!
3 Hour Trip – Inlet/Jetty on October 22, 20253 adults

Amazing day on the water with Captain David. Hooked some red fish 5 minutes after dropping anchor. We also caught black sea bass, shark and sting ray. David did a great job helping us land some good size fish. He suggested we keep some and take it to a local restaurant to have cooked. He filleted the fish and we took it to the Salty Pelican. They were happy to cook it and needless to say it was amazing.
