We had an incredible time on our four-hour inshore trip with Captain David! From the moment we set sail, we quickly started reeling in trout, and then we moved on to snook, which we caught and released. Captain David’s extensive knowledge of both the fish and the history of the surrounding islands added an enriching layer to our adventure.

We wrapped up our trip by landing a total of 11 trout, ensuring we left with not just a great catch but also a fantastic dinner. Captain David provided everything we needed: fresh water, a well-iced cooler, all the bait, and top-notch fishing equipment. He was exceptionally accommodating, ensuring that everyone in our family always had a line in the water.

Thanks to Captain David, we left with not only a delicious meal but also cherished memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t recommend Rusty Dog Charters enough!

Went out for an afternoon trip with the wife and kids today and Capt. Dave and us both knew there was weather coming but decided to give it a go anyway and boy what an awesome trip we had.  Lots of snook a redfish and trout also.  Both our boys had a blast and caught non stop and Capt Dave was very patient and educational with them.  Would highly recommend and next time we come down will definitely be booking with him again.

Capt. Dave not only put me on fish, but he did great to accommodate me in my efforts to learn the area.  I couldn’t have asked for a better 4 hours on the water.  The fresh fish tacos later that evening were stellar!!

Five stars for Captain Dave. The boat was comfortable, the fish were biting, the sunset was beautiful and the weather was on our side. Captain Dave is easy going and an expert of this area as he spent his whole life on these waters. We had an excellent experience and look forward to future adventures. Highly recommended for a small family or group of friends.
