Jon StrohRepeat angler5.0VerifiedInshore fishing with Captain Dave
Half Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on December 27, 2019 • 4 adultsCaptain Dave took me, my girlfriend and 2 friends out today, fishing from Englewood. He was on time and had everything prepared bait, rods and reels, frozen bait and drinks. He took us to multiple spots untill we found a very good bite on both Snook and redfish at one. Then we searched for other species. We caught 5 different species all together over the course of the day and he even went overtime to make sure we had the best chance getting more fish. Thanks so much Dave you made today totally memorable. Would definitely recommend this Captain to anyone looking to catch fish out of Englewood

Capt. Dave was great! Caught over 20 snook and other species (catch/release due to time of year). Fun, active and successful!
