Captain Nelson is awesome!!! My family and went bottom fishing for the first time and we had a great time. My wife got sea sick but the captain made sure she was okay and gave her tips on how to combat sea sickness. We caught good ones but unfortunately couldn’t keep them since they were out of season. Captain Nelson was very informative and helpful with the whole trip. We’ll be booking again in the very near future with Black Dog charters.

It was a great experience, his boat was very clean, he was very friendly, and he knew what he was doing! You can tell Captain Nelson Van Liere is a very experienced fisherman. He has a vested interest in making sure you have a good experience and that you catch your fish! I have never seen a Captain catch his live bait in less than 5 mins! We caught our first fish in 15 mins once we stopped the boat. We caught 4 huge kingfish! I would recommend Captain Nelson Van Liere to anyone!

I took my son (for his 13th birthday) and mom out on a half day offshore trip. It was my son’s first time offshore fishing so it was a perfect trip to see if he’d like it and want to do a longer one in the future. He loved it and caught the biggest fish of the day! Captain Nelson was super friendly and helpful and made sure we all had what we needed and were catching fish! I would recommend him and would go out fishing with him again!

Capt. Nelson was great. Based on the weather, he know exactly where to take us to consistently catch fish. We even got the experience of reeling in a shark. I highly recommend booking your next trip with Black Dog Fishing.
