Captain
David Fleming

Member since October 2023 Hilton Head Island, United States
Background
Captain Dave Fleming has 30 years of guiding experience and has called the island his home for the past 40 years. Thousands of anglers have enjoyed his southern charm and fishing prowess. During this period, he has seen many kids develop into fine adults and exceptional anglers. The cycle continues for many of them who are now parents themselves and are introducing their young children to the experiences they had as kids fishing aboard the Mighty Mako. Very cool indeed. And while Captain Dave is serious about each and every trip, he tries to never take himself too seriously. A professional with a friendly, laid-back style, Captain Dave ensures your comfort, safety, and of course, great fishing when you come aboard the Mighty Mako! Captain Dave holds no state or world records, nor does he have any sponsors or endorsements from any boat manufacturers or fishing companies. However, his resume does include thousands of satisfied and appreciative vacationing anglers.
