Fishing has been tough for everyone on South Padre Island. I normally catch several nice fish from the Surf but none this week. Dave took us out and got us on some Speckled Trout we had two in the box in about 20 minutes. From there the bite seemed to just turn off Dave tried everything to find hungry fish they seemed to have just disappeared. There were several other boats out and I did not see one of them pull up a fish. It was one of those it’s fishing not catching days. But the whole time Dave was entertaining and encouraging making for a wonderful trip. I noticed Dave loves to teach people how to fish so If you are new to the game or want your child to learn from a great positive guy you will not go wrong with Dave.

We booked Captain Dave based on his advertised rate of repeat customers and the one review that was published on this site at the time. We couldn’t have made a better choice! Dave checks all the boxes for a great day of fishing: lots of local knowledge, top-notch boat and equipment, on-time and reliable, and he’s a great fellow who you will enjoy spending the day with. Oh - he also put us on fish even after the 2021 freeze/fish kill, getting us to a 2 man limit of Reds just after Noon with lots of extra action. All-around great experience. We will also be repeat customers next time we are in town.

Had an amazing time! Capt Dave Met me at 7 AM and proceeded to go over all the necessaries and then we set out. Once we came to our first stop Capt. Dave then gave a 1 min instructional demonstration and off to fishing I was! Capt Dave was very willing to photograph the day but I chose to not bother instead immerse myself in the moment and beauty that is the south texas coast. Capt Dave is very Knowledgeable and possesses years of experience and knows how to get you on the fish you want. I am still in awe of how many dolphins I saw through the course of the day. It is beautiful and so easy to relax and let the stress go and focus on catching and reeling in the fish! 5 stars I will be back!
