Captain Dave can catch fish anywhere! We had a great time catching a lot of different fish! Caught a lot of Mingo, White and Red Snapper, trigger fish, and even a shark!

We came down to Destin with four families, and two of us wanted to take out boys fishing. Captain Dave was awesome! He was ready to go early, had everything loaded up on the boat, and made sure we always had lines in the water. We caught a ton of fish - everything from a snaggle-toothed spotted sea trout, to spanish mackerel, redfish, sheepshead, a beast of a black drum, AND about 18 pompano! (Out by the jetty) We had a blast with Dave and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to catch some fish! Bill Dance would be impressed! Red Beard and The Doc

David came recommended by a friend of mine in destin and he came through big time. We had a group of 5 guys and right before we were scheduled to head out some intense thunderstorms popped up all over the place. I thought for sure we would cancel because there was plenty of lightning. David pretty much put the decision in our hands and we said let's go for it. We headed out for inshore fishing and got some bait in the inlet. We crushed some bluefish & Spanish mackerel before heading to the bridges to try for some bull reds. We caught 3 good sized ones, one that was an absolute Goliath. He knew the spots to hit and where to find the desirable bait. He was very patient with a few of the guys who may have been slightly intoxicated and he even dropped us off back at our rental house we were staying at when it was all done. I'd recommend him to anyone, I've done a lot of fishing and dave is as good as they come.

My son enjoyed his first big fishing experience with Captain Dave. They caught several red fish and learned a great deal while with Dave. He was helpful, informative and most importantly FUN!

We had a great time. My teenage boys are the fishermen, my husband and I were very inexperienced, but Captain Dave was patient with us. We did the 3 hour trip, which for us was perfect, we caught just enough fish for a good meal. He recommended a restaurant for us to have the fish cooked, we're so glad we took his recommendation, the fish was cooked to perfection.

We had a great 3 hour trip with Captain David in June 2022. It was my 11 year old son's first time going fishing, and Captain David did a wonderful job. We had Trout on the line from the first cast, and we wound up catching the limit on Trout!
Then we moved on to Redfish, and my son was able to catch the limit on Redfish as well!
It was wonderful to see the smile and excitement on my son's face as he reeled the fish in.
Captain David knows where the fish are, and can cast and hit the right spot pretty much every time. He's a great guy, and handles kids very well.
He cleaned and filet the fish at the end so they were ready to cook. :)

Simply the best! Professional, highly enjoyable, incredible fishing charter!!! Captain Dave had fish on in 15 minutes from leaving the dock. While other boats were struggling to get bites we were hauling them in. We fished in three different spots and captain Dave targeted the fish we wanted.. It truly was an awesome charter. Capt David prepared all our fish and nicely cleaned and packaged all of our fish up and we had a feast ..His equipment , boat and experience were all top notch!
Thanks Captain David you truly made my son and my experience a remarkable one which I'm sure we will fondly remember a lifetime.
You truly are Simply The Best!

Captain dave wasted no time in locating the fish. He knew exactly where to go. My 10 Y/O daughter was realing the fish in from start to finish. We had a blast watching her go to town on all those fish. It will be long lasting memory for us and look forward to a second trip!
