Salty Goat Fishing Charters and their professional crew will be happy to bait your hook, reel in your fish, and put it in on the ice unless you want to release it.

About the Captain

Dan Bursma
Key West, Florida, United States
Member since May 2017
The owners of the Salty Goat are Bruce and Captain Dan who have been friends for over 30 years. Working alongside one another on many assignments, they spent many hours planning what they would do when they retired from the public service as police officers from the City of Wyoming, Michigan. Once they reunited in Florida, they started their business venture together and purchased the "Salty Goat" that now resides at the Galleon Marina in Key West.
