Capt. David Jones grew up fishing the creeks, rivers, and lakes of Ohio and Kentucky. Following a lifelong dream, he moved to NE Florida in 2001 and began learning his craft from many local legends. For the past 21 years, David has been traveling the state of Florida learning new techniques and becoming an expert at reading the water! 'It is so much more than wetting a line. I've found few memories can compare to spending a day on the water with family and friends!'

Joseph KnappRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSheepshead and Drums
6 Hour – Extended Inshore/Nearshore • 2 adultsI have my own boat but it is kinda small to go out offshore in any weather so I wanted to learn some new techniques that targeted certain species inshore and/or nearshore. Captain Dave did not disappoint with a variety of baits for any circumstance that might have arrived given the recent cold weather that arrived. We nearly limited out on Sheepshead, caught a couple of Black Drum, the biggest being +31". I learned some new techniques and gained valuable knowledge for someone newer to fishing marine environments. 10/10 highly recommend for anyone new or experienced to put you on some fish!
