Capt. Dan is a full-time guide who spends 200 to 300 days a year on the water. He knows where the fish are and takes pride in regularly putting clients on their fish of a lifetime. With over 26 years of experience and 3 small kids of his own, Capt. Dan has the patience and knowledge to help get you and your little ones “hooked for life”.

He holds a special Federal Reef and Pelagic Permit, which allows him to harvest fish in federal waters. You’ll cruise out and travel up to 75 miles out to some of the most productive fishing grounds in this part of the Gulf of Mexico.

Your captain will advise you what’s biting best and where to find fish. Your target species will include Redfish, Snook, Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, and many other species. There are also various types of Snapper and Grouper that might interest even the most experienced angler. Plus, you can chase Sharks in those waters too!

You will be fishing aboard a 23’ Barnhill flats boat, a sturdy and reliable craft newly restored in 2015, and powered by a quiet 4- stroke 150HP Yahama engine. She comes equipped with GPS and fishfinder to get you on the best spots out there, an anchor system to keep you steady while you fish, and everything you will need for the fishing itself, including a choice of live bait or lures.
