3/4 Day Inshore with Captain David

3/4 Day Trip – Inshore2 adults

We booked a last minute trip (about a week out) with Great White Charters. Captain David gave a fantastic and reasonably priced charter! He told us he has 22 years of charter experience! You can tell! He was incredibly knowledgeable about where the good spots were at the right time of day and tide. He kept us throughly stocked with bait and was even willing to help us cast and bait our hooks. So ladies, there’s no reason to not accompany your husbands if you so wish! We fished multiple areas and he was not hesitant to move spots if the fish weren’t biting where we were. He was a great boat driver and an excellent guide.

Response from Captain

It was slow at first, but we ended with a good morning bite, sometimes it just clicks. Thank you for fishing with Great White Charters, Capt David

    Monster Red Drum

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore3 adults1 child

    I’ve fished enough (fresh water) to know how fishing goes. It wasn’t a day of numbers, but it was one heckuva day regardless! Capt. David was great! He was determined to get Jake on a monster, and he did just that. After netting and sadly losing the BIGGEST cast net catch of bait (so many pogies it snapped the handline), we got a few bait fish from another friendly charter Capt and set out on the hunt. We stopped at a bridge, threw some lines and started watching rod tips. A couple of missed bites later, the fight was on! Jake jumped to the rod and all 90lbs of that young man fought for almost 10 minutes to land the biggest saltwater AND freshwater fish he’s ever caught. What a catch! 38” bull red…the very fish we were hoping and dreaming of catching. So happy that it was Jake who caught it and so happy Capt. David put us in the right spot! Capt. David is a friendly, genuine, knowledgeable, and savvy person and charter Captain. He made it a memorable experience for our trip…one we won’t forget. Thank you, Capt. David. We’ll be reaching out again for our next saltwater trip!

    With a lot of luck and God willing, bad weather for offshore, plan B was the next option. It all worked out. Great to see a young man creating his memories and I was glad to be a part of it. Capt. David

    Awesome fishing trip.

    Half Day Trip – Offshore3 adults

    I highly recommend Great White Charters. Capt. Dave is a great fishing guide, and a conscientious boat captain. He goes out of his way not only to lead you to where the fish are but also to make sure that the whole experience is fun and memorable. He's also patient and kind, so he's great for family trips as well as more rugged adventures. And he's a good conversationalist, so there's never a dull moment while you wait for the next fish to bite!

    Highly recommend!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore4 adults2 children

    We traveled to FL for our 15 yest anniversary trip with our two kids: 11 and 13. Captain David was so easy and pleasant to work with from start to finish! He reached out to us a few days before the trip to understand what we were looking forward to, and then he remained in contact via text leading right up to the trip. Captain David went above and beyond to ensure we caught a variety of fish, made the best recommendation ever to bring our fresh catch of the day over to Aunt Kate’s restaurant and have them fry it up for lunch! He cleaned all our fish for us at the end of the trip before he bagged it up and sent us off to the best lunch we had all week! Captain David was also patient and so kind- out son had a stomachache towards the end and needed a restroom ASAP to avoid any accidents on the boat. Without any hesitation, Captain David zipped the boat right over to a dock where we could quickly get our son to the nearest restroom. We are so grateful for this experience and highly recommend Capt. David to other families looking for a fishing adventure!

    Experience to Remember!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore3 adults

    David was fantastic! We had the best time. All three of us didn’t just catch fish. We caught fish we have never caught before. Of course, our teenage son had the catch of the day with a 27” red! Making great memories was as important to Captain David as it was for us. Highly recommend this excursion with Captain David if you’re looking for an experience to remember in Saint Augustine!

    Great experience!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore4 adults2 children

    Great morning! The eating fish weren’t biting, but we had a bunch of firsts for our kids. 4 1/2 foot bonnet shark, Black Sea bass, pinfish, catfish. We caught sting ray with every stop, so including a large 2 foot. Captain Dave is so kind, fantastic boat, kept searching opportunities to catch. We would book again and highly recommend!!
