My husband and I wanted to take our two young boys out. There are other options on the island that are much more commercialized with the purpose of entertaining (parties and corporate), sunset cruising, and toting folks that may not want to fish. That was not our purpose. We just simply wanted to fish. Captain D called me ahead of our trip to discuss changing times based on his past weeks fishing experience. He said no one had been catching anything in the afternoons so he suggested the morning time instead. We weren’t going to not catch fish so we took his advice and changed to the AM. Glad we did too. We took Captain D’s smaller boat out (that still included a bathroom and covered cabin). Captain D was a laid back man who made the experience enjoyable and relaxing. We drove to the first spot and when the fish weren’t nibbling, he knew not to waste much time and took us to a new spot. We ended up taking home 30 white perch on our trip and had a fantastic fish taco dinner recommended by Captain D after our trip. While my family may like to fish for more than 4 hours sometimes, the 4-hr trip is a nice short option to get a little fishing done and still have the rest of your day to do stuff and not be completely exhausted. Some extended charters can be super draining, especially when basking in the heat and/or when not catching anything. When we got back, Captain D filleted our fish nicely and we were on our way. Overall it was good experience and we definitely recommend Captain D if an easygoing fishing experience is what you’re looking for.
