Captain Dave Sipler has been a full-time captain/guide, since 1996. He has been fishing since he was only five years old, since he could hold a rod. Even though he comes from a family of fishermen, with a grandfather who was a die-hard angler, Captain Dave is a first generation captain, mostly self-taught. He specializes in organizing kid-friendly and safe fishing trips, as well as putting his clients on top of trophy Speckled Seatrout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and giant Redfish.
