    Reel Memories with Captain Dan

    Passeio de 3 quartos de dia – Alto mar • 4 adultos • 1 criança

    Our private fishing charter with Captain Dan was an outstanding experience from start to finish! He was incredibly accommodating and made sure everyone in our group was comfortable and having a great time throughout the trip. What really made the day special was the variety of fishing we got to experience. We weren't limited to just one style. He mixed things up and caught a great variety of fish, which kept the action exciting all day long. Captain Dan knew exactly where to go and was always willing to adjust the plan to give us the best possible experience.

    absolutely worth it!!!!!!!

    Passeio de 3 quartos de dia – Costeiro • 3 adultos • 1 criança

    Dan was awesome!! when did the half day trip for my sons 11th birthday and it was worth every penny, we fished three different spots and caught fish at all three locations , even had the chance to fight a shark a couple times “which was a first for my son and I.Dan was extremely knowledgeable about the fish and area. and whever you turned arround to grab a new bait he was already there with a bait in hand and would throw it on the hook and you would be back fishing instantly!!. Dan went above and beyond the whole trip making the experience even better,”” he even flayed and bagged the fish”. I highly recommend Dan, Thanks againg for am amazing trip!!!! We wil be back soon

    Passeio de meio dia – Costeiro (Manhã/AM) • 4 adultos • 1 criança

    Captain Dan put us on fish right away. His boat is amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. I would highly recommend Holy Smokes to anyone looking for a great fishing experience!

    Awesome!

    Passeio de dia inteiro – Alto mar • 2 adultos • 1 criança

    Danny was awesome, he called the day before to ask suggestions or see what we had in mind and gave us directions to meeting point. He asked us to get there a little early to head out and allow us more time to fish which is always a bonus! So my son and I got there early headed out and hooked some fish! Highly recommend to anyone it was well worth the trip.

Offshore Bite

dez 27, 2016 • Port Orange
All offshore trips have been nice. If the wind is low we go! We are limiting out on Vermilions. Nice size black sea bass, Trigger fish, also a couple of Lane snapper and Mutton snapper. Some really nice Cobia showed up as well last week. The inshore bite is good as well. Black drum and Sheepshead are the main stay. Some Reds and Snook can still be found in key spots. Capt. Dan

Got one!

mar 21, 2015 • Port Orange
Went out of Port Canaveral early had good reports of Mahi bite is on. Long story short we had 3 knock downs and one OK bull Mahi. Everyone had same out come. One here one there. No size. So we switched over to bottom fishing and got some more meat on the table! Black Sea Bass, Vermilion's, and Porgy's! All in all very good trip!
