Enjoy fishing the flats and backcountry for a wide variety of Inshore species with Captain Dave of Strippin Lips Charters. From the Backwaters of Ormond Beach to Ponce Inlet, down to World Famous Mosquito Lagoon, you’ll go where the fish are.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 17’ Pathfinder skiff which comfortably fits two people plus the Captain. You will have access to areas other boats can’t get to, giving you the upper hand when looking to catch a trophy fish in the local waters.

The boat is fully equipped for fishing, with Trim Tabs for a more comfortable and fuel-efficient ride and a Stiffy Push Pole to allow the Captain to guide you silently through the area’s shallow waterways. There is also a 70 lbs thrust Autopilot Trolling Motor fitted to the boat, as well as a six-foot Powerpole Anchoring System, essential for effective inshore fishing. With a draft of just five inches, this boat is ideal for getting to the shallowest of waters.

The captain will happily design your trip to fit in with your desires, whether you want to fish the hidden shallow waterways for Redfish, Snook, Trout, and Flounder, hit the Halifax river to fish the docks, sandbars, drop-offs, and small bays, try your luck on the fly, or fish slightly further out for Tarpon. His excellent knowledge of the area and enthusiastic attitude will ensure this is a fishing trip to remember.

Member since April 2016
Captain David is a native Floridian who comes from a family of people who are passionate about spending time on the water. Over the years he has explored his love of the water, spending many years fishing offshore from a 57' sportfisher, as well as learning everything he can about the inshore waterways from Tomoka State Park to the Mosquito Lagoon first from a kayak, and then from a poling skiff. Nowadays he enjoys sharing his love both for inshore fishing and fishing offshore with his clients aboard his three boats, a 17' Pathfinder, a 22' Andros and a 30' Hydra Sport.
