Captain Dale is an absolute 10!

3/4 Day Trip – Inshore4 adults2 children

Couldn't ask for a better experience! We brought 3 kids 5, 3, 1, Captain Dale could not have been a better host! We were very specific about our outing ambitions as we were unsure of how it would go with our kids. He made it work the best and still put us on some great fish! 10 out of 10 I would recommend Captain Dale!

    Great Day on the Water

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 2 adults

    Booked a very last-minute trip with Always an Adventure for my 14-year-old son and me, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Dale and Bear had us on fish all day, but honestly, even if the fish hadn’t been cooperating, it still would’ve been a great day on the water. He made the whole trip fun, relaxed, and memorable for both of us. We had an awesome time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Captain Dale again in the future. Highly recommend!

    Response from Captain

    It was a pleasure fishing with you and your son and I enjoyed watching him reeling in the big ones. He is a very well mannered boy and loved bis highly intelligent conversations" He is welcome on my boat anytime 😁 I'm looking forward to the next Adventure when the weather gets a little cooler outside 😜 and the fish get bigger....Thank you again for choosing Always An Adventure Fishing Guide Service and have safe travels back....Hope to see ya'll soon 🙏 Sincerely, Capt Dale

    My Trip with Captain Dale

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    If you’re thinking about booking with Always An Adventure Guide Service… quit thinking and do it! Capt. Dale flat-out knows how to find fish. We caught our limit of speckled trout, landed an absolute stud of a 29-inch speckled trout, and then he put us on redfish just because he wasn’t finished showing off. Turns out his slogan, “Size Does Matter,” isn’t just a slogan—it’s the truth! His first mate, Mr. Bear, deserves a raise. He may have four legs, but he’s better behaved than most fishing buddies and definitely adds to the experience. And let’s talk about the snacks… Capt. Dale’s jalapeño & cheese deer jerky ought to be illegal. Between the fishing and that jerky, I wasn’t sure which one I was looking forward to more. I might have to book another trip just for the jerky… the fish are just a bonus. If you want a guide who works hard, keeps you laughing, puts you on fish, and treats you like family, Capt. Dale is your guy. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and we’ll definitely be back. Five stars isn’t enough!

    Response from Captain

    Hey Jeremy it was my pleasure fishing with ya'll It’s not everyday I find someone who loves fishing and enjoying the outdoors as much as ya'll do. I wish I had more clients who did the same" watching ya'll reel in the big one's AND the smaller ones as well was like watching 2 kid's in a candy store enjoying everything they see. I really hope ya'll return for another memorable adventure" and Mr.Bear also says hello as well....Thanks again for choosing Always An Adventure Fishing Guide Service and I hope to fish with ya'll again in the near future.... Sincerely, Capt Dale

Thanks Captain Dale we asked the boys how they felt about the day and they were very positive and complimentary in short; the boys had a fantastic time today. Darrell

    Awesome Family Trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain Dale was amazing with our group of 6. We ranged from 4-70 and he knew how to handle the whole group. We had beginners and seasoned vets. Everyone caught, laughed, and made plenty of memories.
