Fish It All – Freshwater & Saltwater Charters

When you charter a fishing trip with Captain Dave, you get decades of experience and knowledge with Florida freshwater and saltwater fishing on a private boat, using artificial lures and live bait.

If you’re looking for a freshwater fishing adventure, Captain Dave offers trips for trophy Largemouth Bass fishing in Lake Toho, Lake Cypress, Johns Lake, and the Butler, Conway, and Winter Park chains of lakes as well as smaller, lesser-known locations. Keep in mind that you’ll need to get a fishing license before your freshwater trip.

When it comes to saltwater fishing, Captain Dave offers several options. He specializes in Snook fishing in the beautiful blue waters of Sebastian Inlet or Port Canaveral. He also leads trips inshore such as the Indian, Banana, and Mosquito Lagoon River systems, where Trout, Redfish, Snook, and Black Drum are plentiful. The captain will provide your saltwater fishing license.

Hop aboard the new 20’ Blue Wave with a capacity for 4 guests for some trips.. Rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price of your trip, as well as live bait, except for shiners, which are an additional cost. You’re welcome to keep your catch as long as it’s within legal size and limit, and the captain will clean and filet your fish so you can enjoy it at home!

Book a trip with Captain Dave to escape the beaten path and take to the open water for a peaceful yet exciting fishing adventure. Find the best spots and pick up a few new techniques with a Florida native with decades of knowledge about Florida’s lakes, rivers, beaches, fish, and wildlife.
