Captain Daniel Kesten offers fishing trips around Florida’s rich waterways. These fisheries are home to some of the most feisty and juicy table fare, including Redfish, Permit, Trout, Tarpon, Pompano, Mangrove Snapper, King Mackerel, and many more. If you want a productive fishing trip with plenty of fun and an experienced captain, then you’re lucky. This charter is the one for you.

Fishing Florida’s inshore fisheries can be a real blast. Depending on the tide and weather conditions, Captain Daniel will tailor your trip to produce the most, and will navigate around inshore waters and a bit further out to put you on fish. The bite is solid year round, and based on your skill level, you can choose anything from a half day to a full day trip.

When you come fishing, you will be boarding a 24’ Robin center console. She is powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and can reach the speeds of up to 35 knots. She will give you a fast ride, and owing to its navigational electronics, you will locate the hot spots without hassle. But, even better, Captain Daniel is a local angler and has been fishing these waters his whole life. His boat also features a trolling motor, has a live bait well, a wide beam for stability, and a full tower. It’s fit to fish around flats and offshore alike.

You will need to bring food, snacks, and drinks, a cap, sunglasses, a sunblock, and adequate clothes. Captain Daniel will clean and bag your catch, and will take care of the fishing license. He will supply all the fishing gear, tackle, and bait, based on the target species and conditions.

If you’re a novice fisherman or a family with kids, you might want to start with half day trips, as you will have the right amount of time for fishing. Hardcore anglers, you can book a full day trip and head out for some hot action angling, searching for strong fighters, such as Tarpon and Redfish. Either way, you’ll want to pack a camera to get a good short of your catch. Come get that fish!
