We had a great experience with Captain Dave. He was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with from the time we booked the trip. Everything was well organized, and he made the day enjoyable from start to finish. What stood out most was how great he was with our kids. He was patient, friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. His knowledge of Tampa Bay and easygoing personality created a fun, relaxed atmosphere on the water.

This was my husband’s and my first saltwater fishing trip, and we had a blast with Captain David. We enjoyed the fact that it was a private charter. We caught mangrove snapper, red fish, toad fish (ugliest fish I’ve ever seen), and catfish,  but only 5 of the snapper were keeping size. We got to see a shark and some dolphins. The only downside was that we had to clean our own fish,  but that was no problem. My husband is quite good at it. Thanks, Captain David, for a great trip, and we... Mehr

Captain David put us on the fish! We caught a bunch of Snapper, Speckled Trout, Bonnethead Shark, Jack Carvel Fish, Spanish Mackerel and more on a beginning of August 4 hr trip. David is super knowledgeable about the Bay and knows what to catch at any givin season. I will definitely ask him to guide us again the next time we come back.

Capt David was super knowledgeable; he was on top of it from winds, tides, water temp, and everything in between.  I’ve been on numerous fishing charters - David was hands down the hardest working to get you on fish and was very attentive.  Will definitely get my business again when I’m back in Tampa!

While we didn’t catch as many fish as we would have liked, (who ever does) Captain Dave really worked at getting us to the right place and offered professional advice on bait and technique. Our comfort was as important to Captain Dave as the catch. my brother and I are both in our 70s and don’t get around the greatest but the boat was set up well for us. Dave kept us baited up and informed about depth and type fish in the area. One of the friendliest and personable Captains we have used in... Mehr
