Stephen RandoFlorida, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedReel Memories with Captain Dan
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore • 4 adults • 1 childOur 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.
Response from CaptainThank you so much! i don’t realize what I’m doing. I just catch fish. And for someone to point this out is amazing. Thanks agIn!
Greggory FryeNevada, US•Member since 20265.0Verifiedabsolutely worth it!!!!!!!
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore • 3 adults • 1 childDan 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

Full Day Trip – Offshore • 2 adults • 1 childDanny 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.
