Great trip

3 Hour Trip – Inshore PM4 adults

really enjoyed the experience. Captain was personable and funny. The boat was clean and and just right for us. unfortunately, we didn’t catch any fish. We did catch shark and we each got to catch one, but I was hoping for some fish and maybe some to take home. But I would recommend Carolina Rig

    What a trip!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore PM • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had an awesome time with Capt. David! He was super friendly, shared some cool history about Hilton Head, and put us right on the sharks. We caught 10 sharks in 3 hours, from around 2 feet to a 5-foot, 25-pound shark! He was great with my two boys (ages 12 and 16), taking the time to explain things but also stepping back and letting us enjoy the experience without hovering. We had an absolute blast and can't recommend Capt. David enough!

    Captain Dave was awesome with the kids.

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 3 adults • 2 children

    it was me my 7 year old daughter and my 4-year-old son on the trip. David did great with the kids and move the boat anytime we stopped catching fish to find a new spot. We caught plenty of fish of different kinds and the kids loved it.

    Such a fun teip

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 3 adults

    Our family took the inshore trip today with Captain David and had a great time!! Captain David was very knowledgeable about the fish, the area and most of all was super kind and helped my husband board the boat and get off the boat! He has a stroke a few years ago and sometimes needs an extra hand and Captain David accommodated!! I highly recommend taking the Caroline rig! We definitely will be back

    Great near shore trip with Captain Dave

    6 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 3 adults

    This was a great 6 hr. trip. We went to a couple of near shore reefs and Capt. Dave put us on the fish. Cobia bite was great, at times all three of us were on. Blue Fish where plentiful as where the sharks. A nice size Spanish Mackerel will keep us in fish tacos for a couple of days. Definitely recommend Captain Dave. We’ll be back soon.

    A Coastie Reunion!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore PM • 2 adults

    Went with my son who is in the Coast Guard in Alaska and so it was fun to hear Capt Dave, a CG veteran swap stories as we enjoyed a leisurely boat ride. We had several pulls but only able to reel in one fish for the short trip. But as the saying goes, "the worst day fishing is better than the best day working"! We enjoyed this immensely!

    Response from Captain

    enjoyed meeting your son and chatting about the USCG tight lines
