Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Bring food and drinks for the day, ice and coolers are provided.
You’ll be fishing from a fully rigged well maintained 25’ Edgewater center console with twin 150 Suzuki’s that holds up to 4 passengers plus crew. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a port-a-toilet on board for your convenience. If you have additional passengers give us a call to discuss.
We provide quality rods, reels, and tackle for all types of fishing. We like to have you be part of catching live bait, it’s fun and rewarding but if desired we can take of it for you.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

10 Hour Trip – Troll/Bottom Fish
Aside from the heat, awesome trip. Capt, had a canopy set up ok the front of the boat to get outta the sun which was huge for this Minnesotan! We got out on the troll first. Missed a half dozen as the sail fish brutalized our baits. Bottom fishing was good as the capt put us on the fish everytime until the sharks started claiming our prize. Then we'd move on to another spot. Friendly, educational. Capt Dan and his mate Dave put together awesome trip for us.. They'll be our team when we return in Nov!

10 Hour Trip – Offshore Bottom Fish
Dan is the man! Would highly recommend a trip with this captain whether you are a serious angler or just learning. He put us on the bite first line in the water and made sure we got our bag limit. Along with being a highly experienced angler and great teacher, he was a top-notch host and shared a lot of industry knowledge. His boat was clean, comfortable, and offered plenty of shade. All the equipment was in great shape and he made sure we had plenty of bait.

8 Hour Trip – Troll/Bottom Fish
Captain Dan knows where to catch the fish and how, he knew my 14 yearold had never been off shore and he made sure he had a memory for a life time he was busy all day reeling them in and so was I. Best experience fishing in my 57 years

Great day to go fishing during red snapper season. Captain Dan knew the perfect spots to go to, and we also caught some other cool fish like a barracuda and a couple red groupers. Would definitely recommend fishing with Captain Dan.
