Scalloping trip
on July 22, 2023

Let me start by saying that it takes a lot to please me as I own my own guide service on the east coast of Florida. His gear is top notch and customer service is excellent! From the moment I stepped on the boat, I felt like I was family! He put us on the perfect location where everyone was grabbing 5-6 scallops each dive down. We limited the boat with 10 gallons of scallops within 1.5 hours! I highly recommend using david as a guide!!!

Reported catch:
Scallop
Speckled Trout

Scott Thank you for the kind words. We had a great time with you and your family and got plenty of scallops for you to take home. Can’t wait for our next trip.

Fantastic day fishing trip and scalloping with Capt. Dave

Spent the beginning of the day catching a wide variety of fish. Then limited out on scallops. Scalloping was so a blast with the bonus of as spending time enjoying the underwater beauty and wildlife, while retrieving scallops! Lots of fun. Loved it when the suckers spit water at me!!! Highly recommend this charter!
