Captain Dave
Captain Dave has a trip with your name on it along the stunning waters of Apalachicola. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain David is prepared to put you on fish.
Species like Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to jig using light tackle.
Captain Dave welcomes kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll be casting lines from a 23' Jones Brothers 23 center console with space for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. David has rods and reels 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! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It's recommended to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

thank you!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – An Unforgettable Day on the Water! Captain Dave is the real deal! From start to finish, our fishing trip was top-notch. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and fish patterns, but also friendly, patient, and just a great person to spend the day with. Whether you’re an experienced angler or brand new to fishing, he makes sure everyone feels comfortable and has a great time. We were on the fish early and often, and Captain Dave’s passion for what he does is obvious. He goes the extra mile — from top-quality gear to expert advice to keeping the vibe fun and relaxed. Caught some great fish, made some awesome memories, and already looking forward to booking again. Highly recommend Captain Dave Fishing to anyone looking for a professional, fun, and rewarding fishing experience. You won’t be disappointed! Chris Kelley-Nashville, Tn
Thank you Chris!
