Captain Dave was great.  Jody and I met him at the landing a little after 6:00 am on 2/8 25 and set out on a beautiful day on the ocean.  We motored out of the harbor maybe 15 minutes when Dave started setting lines.  Fifteen minutes later about 7:05 a marlin hit and cleared the watyer three times before spitting the hook.  Dave thuought it to be about 300 #s.  Fifteen minutes later, another strike that ended up in the boat, 145# Blue Marlin.  Alot of hard work but well worth the effort.Thanks...

Took the 7 hour trip and caught the elusive Blue Marlin.  It is incredible to catch one of these especially for the time of year being March 21st.  We had 4 other hits but no other hook ups, one Short-bill Spearfish and a Mahi were 2 of the ones that got away. The Captain is an old salt in a good way he knows his stuff and is personable.  The only room for improvement is to possibly do jigging when trolling is not working.  However, had he been receptive to this -we wouldn’t have caught...

I would have never succeeded without his strength and expertise.  He’s been fishing for over 45 years and he is relentless. The... More

Captain Dave is very knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience for us. He worked great with our 11 year old grandson. We caught mahi mahi and got to witness several spinner dolphins giving us our own personal show. With the small number of passengers on board, Captain Dave is able to provide individual attention. Thank you Captain Dave!!!

Captain Dave worked all day to get us a trophy marlin, the marlin just weren’t having it. We did have luck with a big ono which my son caught and on his first deep sea fishing trip and that made it all worth it. Captain Dave was very friendly and accommodating, he had some great stories about his career in fishing. His boat was the cleanest and most organized boat that I have been on before. If you’re looking to fish for a Trophy I recommend A’U STRUCK, I will return on my next trip to the... More
