Our day was amazing, there was action the whole day. The fish were all around and Dave worked hard to keep us busy. I recommend him if you want to have a great time and a productive day.

Fishing was slow, bur Capt David had a lot of spots to try, and we limited out on snapper, and we caught grouper, jack crevalle, trout, and others. Capt David worked hard to make sure I had a great time.

This was our first time ever going out on a charter and Dave made it a great experience. He took us to multiple spots and we caught a variety of fish, never a dull moment.

We had a great time and a good first experience. Even though we didn’t catch fish to take home he did take us out further than we expected and we at least got to catch and reel one in. I was super excited and had an awesome time!

We started at 6 AM and went out trolling for king fish for a couple of hours. Then we went bottom fishing a few miles away from there. He taught us some tricks on how to catch fish, we had bites constantly and reeled them in. Then we were off to the jetties and fished. Again, we learned more techniques on how to fish at the jetties. Captain Dave did a great job making sure my mom, dad, wife and I were constantly fishing by hooking up our bait, not to mention his knowledge and professionalism. We catch many fish and we were very happy with our experience.

Captain Dave was fantastic and did his best to get us on the fish. Unfortunately it was one of those days that we just couldn’t get it going. He helped in every way possible but the bite wouldn’t come. He even stayed out longer than we booked to try to get us a few more fish. Would recommend Captain David Caruthers very highly. Knowledgeable, nice and prepared.

Captain Dave is great as his job to say the least. Went out looking for big Tarpon and Jack early but the surf was too choppy. He brought us back in a ways, and found some good size fish. Had a great time!! I will be contacting him again on my next visit!

It was very fun, but I admit I didn’t believe our captain when he said that we might see 100lb fish. We ended up hooking a 45lb Jack Crevalle, but when we got it close to the boat a bull shark came and got it. All we had was the head but it was still a fun fight. It was easily the hardest fight of my life. We also had a great time in the rivers, even though we forgot bug spray, because we had still caught 8 different species of fish. I would absolutely recommend going on this trip.

Excellent trip caught 5 big Jack’s 2 8ft shark and blue runner. Each fish took 30 to 50 min each to land. Great trip intend to book again with Dave in July and go after Kings.

The captain did all he could do to try to get us on fish. Tried multiple locations. Weather was not ideal as it was excessively windy. Water was also cloudy. Fun experience and honest captain. Would recommend

We have done several charters over the years, but, this charter stood out as the best. Here’s why. We booked an afternoon trip, historically, the PM fishing is better down river, Dave moved his launch location south to catch fish. The day was windy so he brought a bigger boat so we could ride more comfortably and get to the fishing spots faster. We spent 95% of our time with lines in the water rather than riding around. He planned the trip to include catching various species of fish. Reds, trout, lady fish, jacks, shark. All but the reds, we caught them all.

Capt Dave was very knowledgeable of the waterways and worked hard to find us fish. Fishing was slow but that wasn’t for lack effort on Capt Dave’s part- other fisherman reported same conditions. We landed a few reds, shnook and a lady fish, but had a great day on the water. You can’t beat the experience for the price. We might condier the larger boat for a future trip.

Captain Dave treated my father-in-law, uncle, and I to the best fishing day either of us had ever had. We each caught numerous fish, including two 25 lb plus bull redfish, and thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water with Captain Dave. I would recommend a trip with Captain Dave and his Strippin Lips charters to anyone who visits the Daytona area. Captain Dave is knowledgeable, friendly, and one of the most professional Captains I have ever associated with.

Captain Mike is a great guy and a pleasure to fish with. He pointed out various points of interest and was very familiar with the area. The fishing wasn’t great but he did his best to find them.

I booked Capt Dave for a full day of offshore fishing. He didn’t disappoint. My goal was to catch my best ever red snapper and I easily accomplished that with a 16 pounder. We also caught kings, cobia, and bonita. The captain is very laid back and does whatever it takes to please his clients. I can’t wait for my next trip!

What a great experience. I am looking into booking another trip in March. Capt. Dave mentioned to me a trip to catch Tarpon I can’t wait. Capt. Dave will be extremely hard to book soon. I believe he will get a lot of repeat customers once the word gets out. Thank you Capt. Dave for one of the best experiences fishing ever. The 50 pound Cobia we caught was delicious.

Very happy with my half day with Captain Dave of Strippin Lips. Had my choice of 2 boats and choice of targeted fish. Did well inshore putting together a mixed bag of redfish, flounder, pompano, blues and ladies. Learned a lot, Dave definitely knows the local waters. highly recommended.

This was our second trip with Captain Dave, but our first Backwater experience. It was incredible. Watched the sun come up, it was beautiful in the backwaters. Captain Dave pointed out so many things we would of never noticed including Manatee, porpoise, wild pigs, a variety of Birds, and even an Eagles next.
Fishing was awesome, we caught several Redfish, and trout. The highlight was the Tarpon, just watching them was awesome, we had them all around us. We had several hits, and finally was able to land one.
Captain Dave did an excellent job. We can’t wait to go again!Cally VanPelt recommends Strippin Lips Fishing ChartersFished August 2016

I went on a 6 hour trip on Capt Dave’s other boat the Pathfinder. Beautiful day, caught a lot of fish what more could you ask for. All the equipment and the boat were great and the captain was very professional. I highly recommend going on the pathfinder and fishing the flats with captain Dave.

If you want a personalized deep sea fishing trip Capt Dave Carruthers is for you. We went out with him and caught king fish, red snapper and host of other types. He is very easy to deal with, personable and handled all situations that came up very professionally. Note that he has a 22 ft boat so there’s only room for 2 or three people. The price is very reasonable too.
