e had a great six hour trip with Captain Dave. We were able to fish back water in creeks, which were beautiful as we had never been to Oriental. Captain Dave is not just a great captain but also a great guy. My 16 yr old son and I spent the day talking sports, fishing and life with him like we had known each another for 30 years. We caught some nice trout and a 24 inch monster that my son landed. Captain Dave is a pro and will be back to fish again. Go Pirates!

Such a nice review and very much appreciated. I agree, I felt like I was fishing with my old buddies all day; you have a remarkable young man as your son! Thanks Again fir a great day! 🏴☠️☠️🎣
Great day on the water with a very knowledgeable and friendly captain and awesome boat!

Thanks for a great crew & day! 🏴☠️☠️🎣

You'd be hard pressed to find a better guide. Captain Dave isn't your average, part-time angler. He's on the water nearly every day. Combined with his multiple decades of experience fishing in this area, Dave understands the intricacies of seasonal changes, water levels, hidden structure, and maintaining tight relationships with a team of other locals(who share tips and private fishing reports) to make sure he puts you on fish every time.

Such kind words! It was a fun day & that trout was HUGE!
Very knowledgeable captain. Knew where the fish were and caught our limit. Captain Dave is very friendly and coached us inexperienced anglers like a professional. The boat and tackle were in excellent condition and clean. We would definitely recommend him to anyone.

What a great crew! “Chesty” & my pops were cheering today! Thanks again!

Captain was very helpful and knowledgeable of the fishing area. Plenty of fish were caught. Fun overall trip

Great crew & fun day! Please send a picture of Josh’s Citation when it comes in March! Capt. Dave 🏴☠️☠️
