Background
Captain Daniel has been fishing since he was a kid and he's been fishing in Venice for over 25 years. Armed with years of knowledge, skills, and an excellent offshore sportfishing boat, Captain Daniel is bound to make your fishing dreams come true. He's got a great personality coupled with a good sense of humor and is loved by all new and returning customers.
Techniques
Most of what I do is offshore, but I do enjoy sight fishing, shark fishing and nearshore/inshore fishing as well.
