Background
Dave has been a licensed captain since 2005. He enjoys being out on the water and is very knowledgable about the area. Taking people to go fishing is one of the best jobs he could've hoped for, and it doesn't matter how skilled they are. Captain has a lot of personal experience and likes to share it with others.
