Half Day Trip – Inshore (MAX 4)
Half Day with Captain Dave Spargur
Just a great morning on the waters around the Lemon Bay area chasing snook and mangrove snapper. Couldn't have been an easier trip as Captain Dave had everything from bait to drinks and snacks taken care of ahead of time. Literally parked the car at the marina and stepped on the boat and got straight to fishing. I'll say that Captain Dave is as excited for you to catch fish as you are to catch fish and it shows in his effort to make a successful trip. It really felt like we were working the fish and the conditions rather than just hitting a few preset spots. It was practically a fishing trip, a tour, and a bit of dolphin watching all rolled into one. Will definitely be calling Captain Dave when I'm ready for another charter.

Fishing with Dave
Capt Dave was a great host to us fishing today. We left 20 minutes early and fished an extra 15 minutes. Caught many different fish species. Nothing big enough to keep but a lot of fish. Captain Dave was very informative about technique and information about the different species that we caught. I would definitely use Captain Dave again and recommend him to other people. Great day.
