Captain David used to work for a ferry boat operation with a captain who also ran fishing charters part-time and who asked him to mate with him on those fishing charters. Captain David accepted and they started running full-day charters to the 'Snapper banks'. So, about 40 miles offshore, he learned to bottom fish. It was a fast and furious way to learn but he loved it. He knew that fishing would be a way of life for him from then on. After a couple of years working there, he did a tour in the USCG. Returning to the area, he found myself back doing fishing charters as a mate. After a couple of years on deck, Captain David obtained his captain's license and began running charters.

Deanie Lofton5.0VerifiedWhat a trip!
3 Hour Trip – Inshore PM • 4 adults • 1 childWe 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!

3 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 3 adultsOur 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
Response from Captainthat was nice to catch s Jack crevelle
David Hanselman5.0VerifiedGreat near shore trip with Captain Dave
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 3 adultsThis 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.

Andrew Graney5.0VerifiedGreat experience!
3 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 4 adultsCaptain Dave was friendly and professional! Our family wasn’t looking to catch a specific type of fish so he set us up in a spot where we all caught several sharks ranging from 12” to 3.5 feet. We all had a great time! I would definitely charter with Carolina Rig again.
Reported catch:Response from Captainvariety definitely can make fishing fun
Michael Bowersox5.0VerifiedWell Worth It!
3 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 3 adultsDavid Spahr is a great American. He’s a very experienced Captain and exceptionally knowledgeable of the inner shore in the Hilton Head area. His flexibility and willingness to accommodate customer preferences is noteworthy. Would definitely hire him again.
Response from CaptainThanks for the great compliment! Tight lines Captain David
