Cold day, but LOTS of fun!

3 Hour Trip – Early Bird Special - 4:00 PM on January 30, 2026 • 3 adults

We knew fishing in January was a long-shot but decided to try anyway. We booked a very last minute 3-hr trip with Captain Dan and he showed us a great time! He commumicated well ahead of our reservation, had a convenient pick up/drop off point, had all supplies needed plus a cooler of drinks on board. Capt Dan is friendly and very knowledgable. He brought us to multiple spots and really tried to get all 3 of us on fish. Ultimately, my 15 yo son hooked a shark, which was very unexpected but a cool experience for him! We plan to try another trip with Capt Dan when the weather is better.

Fantastic trip!

3 Hour – Summer Early Bird Special! - 8:00 AM on May 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

My family had an awesome trip with Captain Dan! My second and third grade boys pulled in speckled trout left and right and also caught a couple redfish! They'll remember this trip forever. Captain Dan filleted some of the fish for us and we had a great lunch after the trip. Would highly recommend!

Great Morning Trip

3 Hour – Summer Early Bird Special! on June 3, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Dan was great with communication.  There was supposed to be weather rolling in and he offered to reschedule to another day.  We kept our original day but moved back an hour.  Great intercoastal fishing.  Caught a few trout, ladyfish and some saltwater catfish.

Captain Dan is THE MAN!

3 Hour – Summer Early Bird Special! - 8:00 AM on March 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

We booked a last minute charter with Captain Dan. He went above and beyond on this trip, with 2 kids he was patient, knowledgeable and bery patient. I would highly recomend this trip for any beginer or seasoned fosherman. He put us on fish, and when the bite slowed down he took us to the next spot. Needless to say we all caught fish, mostly speckled trout and a few lady fish, and one big blue fish! 10/10 would recommend!!
