Captain David Ballard is a St. Augustine, FL native. He has fished these waters since he was a boy, and has surfed and scuba dived in the area for many years. He has always loved the sea, so it seemed only the natural thing to share the experiences on the water with like-minded people. Meeting these people is his favorite part of the job. He loves passing on all he has learned over his decades-long fishing career, and hopefully creating lasting memories along the way.

    Monster Red Drum

    Uscita di pesca di 3/4 giornata – Costiera3 adulti1 bambino

    I’ve fished enough (fresh water) to know how fishing goes. It wasn’t a day of numbers, but it was one heckuva day regardless! Capt. David was great! He was determined to get Jake on a monster, and he did just that. After netting and sadly losing the BIGGEST cast net catch of bait (so many pogies it snapped the handline), we got a few bait fish from another friendly charter Capt and set out on the hunt. We stopped at a bridge, threw some lines and started watching rod tips. A couple of missed bites later, the fight was on! Jake jumped to the rod and all 90lbs of that young man fought for almost 10 minutes to land the biggest saltwater AND freshwater fish he’s ever caught. What a catch! 38” bull red…the very fish we were hoping and dreaming of catching. So happy that it was Jake who caught it and so happy Capt. David put us in the right spot! Capt. David is a friendly, genuine, knowledgeable, and savvy person and charter Captain. He made it a memorable experience for our trip…one we won’t forget. Thank you, Capt. David. We’ll be reaching out again for our next saltwater trip!

    With a lot of luck and God willing, bad weather for offshore, plan B was the next option. It all worked out. Great to see a young man creating his memories and I was glad to be a part of it. Capt. David

    Uscita di mezza giornata – Costiera4 adulti2 bambini

    Great morning! The eating fish weren’t biting, but we had a bunch of firsts for our kids. 4 1/2 foot bonnet shark, Black Sea bass, pinfish, catfish. We caught sting ray with every stop, so including a large 2 foot. Captain Dave is so kind, fantastic boat, kept searching opportunities to catch. We would book again and highly recommend!!

    I highly recommend Great White Charters. Capt. Dave is a great fishing guide, and a conscientious boat captain. He goes out of his way not only to lead you to where the fish are but also to make sure that the whole experience is fun and memorable. He's also patient and kind, so he's great for family trips as well as more rugged adventures. And he's a good conversationalist, so there's never a dull moment while you wait for the next fish to bite!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore4 adulti2 bambini

    We traveled to FL for our 15 yest anniversary trip with our two kids: 11 and 13. Captain David was so easy and pleasant to work with from start to finish! He reached out to us a few days before the trip to understand what we were looking forward to, and then he remained in contact via text leading right up to the trip. Captain David went above and beyond to ensure we caught a variety of fish, made the best recommendation ever to bring our fresh catch of the day over to Aunt Kate’s restaurant and have them fry it up for lunch! He cleaned all our fish for us at the end of the trip before he bagged it up and sent us off to the best lunch we had all week! Captain David was also patient and so kind- out son had a stomachache towards the end and needed a restroom ASAP to avoid any accidents on the boat. Without any hesitation, Captain David zipped the boat right over to a dock where we could quickly get our son to the nearest restroom. We are so grateful for this experience and highly recommend Capt. David to other families looking for a fishing adventure!

Cosa abbocca con Great White Charters LLC a St. Augustine

Sebbene questo sia solitamente il mese più piovoso dell'anno, offre grandi soddisfazioni ai pescatori. I pesci vela si possono trovare a caccia di banchi di esca a sole 25 miglia dalla costa e le maree crescenti nelle acque costiere creano condizioni straordinarie per la pesca a vista.
