Full Day with Captain Daley
Full-Day Deep Sea Sportfishing Trip on February 26, 2025
Everyone I know who’s fished with Don’t Tell Mom Sport Fishing has come back raving about their experience—Captain William Daley and his crew are known for running a tight ship and putting anglers right on the bite. Friends have shared stories of epic mahi days, smooth rides, and a knowledgeable, hard-working crew that makes every trip unforgettable. The fish they brought back were nothing short of impressive—brilliant, powerful mahi that stretched the limits of the cooler and made for the kind of photos you frame.

The captain’s expertise and enthusiasm for fishing were evident from the start. He navigated us to prime spots, and we hauled in some fantastic catches. The boat was spotless, well-equipped, and comfortable, perfect for both seasoned anglers and beginners. His friendly demeanor and engaging stories kept the group entertained between bites. Whether you’re after a serious fishing trip or a fun day on the water, this charter delivers. Highly recommend!
