Captain Dan is your man!
Half Day Trip on September 12, 20266 adults

Experience truly is everything when you're out on the water, and booking a charter with Captain Dan at Lake America proved it in the best way possible. From the second we stepped aboard, his seasoned background completely set the tone for the day. He has that rare kind of intuition where he just reads the water and knows exactly where the fish are holding, but what really stood out was how much he loves to share that knowledge. Instead of just putting us on fish, he turned the trip into an incredible learning experience—teaching us the nuances of which bait to use at specific depths and why. Beyond his technical mastery, Captain Dan is just genuinely wonderful to spend a day with. He’s incredibly accommodating, relentlessly cheerful, and makes everyone on board feel completely at home, whether you're a seasoned angler or a total beginner. That combination of deep expertise and great energy paid off in a massive way too. In just a tight 5-hour trip, we pulled in a total of 17 fish, landing some gorgeous Salmon and Steelhead. If you are debating who to book for your next outing, do yourself a favor and go with Captain Dan. You aren't just paying for a boat ride; you're getting a masterclass in fishing from someone who truly knows his craft inside and out.

Great Fishing Trip
Full Day Trip on August 29, 20264 adults

The captain was very knowledgeable. The boat was really nice. The captain put us onto the fish as soon as we dropped the lines in the water. We booked an 8 hour trip and he kept us on the water for the 8 hours. Double D is the boat to fish with. We had a great fishing trip with Captain Dan. Thank you.
