Testimonials
There are a lot of "charters" out there that claim the
qualities of a captain, but here's a guy that's the real
deal. My father in-law, son and I booked a charter for
flats fishing in April with Capt Dave. I had been on a
few charters in the past with a few disappoints so I
was a little leery. Capt Dave answered all our
questions with experience and knowledge. Most
important no BS. We always want to hear the numbers
and successes of the day before, but never forget this
is still fishing.

Dave met us promptly at the dock, with a big smile, fresh bait and ready to go. Dave knew our
goal was numbers for an anticipated fish fry that evening. Thirty minutes out we were catching
fish (trout) and had a few in the live well. We had landed 20 fish before Capt Dave asked us if
we wanted to try for some snook. Twenty-five minutes later and six or so snook landed, I tied
into a 40-plus pounder that gave me the thrill of a lifetime. Dave knew the spots in an ever
changing environment. To read the water and tide is the gift of a true captain. The end of our
trip was near and I needed a few more in the well for the fry. Dave got out his pole to assist in
"feeding the family" for tonight’s dinner. (all bellies full). This guy’s is a class act and highly
recommended. Book with Dave and I guarantee you the best charter money can buy.

Dear Capt. Dave,
I just had to write and thank you for the awesome time
my son and I had on our fishing trip. Our goal was to
catch a shark and that is exactly what happened! What
a great experience! We really appreciate the good
service and will definitely be back for Tarpon season!
Thanks again!

Captain Dave,
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for a great day of fishing last week. It was
a birthday present for my son and he had a blast (actually we both did!). The weather was
fantastic and you worked hard to put us on fish and moved on when it was time. Thanks to
my wife's wonderful cooking, we have really been enjoying the fish we caught. It was a
memorable time for both of us. I hope we have the opportunity to go out with you again
sometime.
Thanks again.

I could not have chosen a better or more productive
trip for my daughter's first salt water fishing trip!
Captain Dave was great with both myself and my 9
year old. We got on Trout, Redfish, and a bunch of
Snook. The fishing trip was the high point in our
vacation. We will do it again!

Captain Dave,
After taking almost 6 months to use my fishing
gift certificate that my wife bought for me I can
only say WOW. I’ve been on other charter trips
before, only to be disappointed with the guides
lack of personality and zero disregard for
customer service. Your knowledge of the area,
equipment and passion for what you do was
nothing less than contagious. In my 30+ years
of fishing I’ve never caught such a prize fish as
when I hooked and fought the 135 +pound
Tarpon. Thanks for making this such a
memorable experience and well see you real
soon.
