We had a salty day with Capt. Dave! He put in the extra effort to make sure we had a great day fishing in challenging conditions. It was a windy day that kept us inshore. We caught Several Speckled Trout, Mackerel, a Flounder and a Black Drum. Fought a few Bonnet head sharks and ladyfish, fun to fight but not suitable for the menu. Also saw a variety of wildlife to include Manatees, Pelicans, Cormorants and an Eagle! Captain provided everything we needed and will definitely look him up for our next day out. Thanks again Captain.

It was a great morning for fishing, so I went out. Captain David was an outstanding leader. We caught numerous fish, and my wife was pleased that he baited her hook. Lol. We had a fantastic time.

Thank you to Capt Dave and his wife Capt Misty for taking our large family, 9 of us, out for an amazing scalloping day. We had a rental boat rented which ended up not planning out so at the last minute I had to find a guide to take 2 adults and 7 children out scalloping…..needless to say I was panicking but then I found Capt Dave and Misty. They totally came to my rescue bc we needed two boats for our large family. I was also nervous about how many children we had but both Capt Dave and Capt Misty were so great with teaching kids on what to do. They were absolutely amazing with all of us. Capt Dave and Misty definitely made it their mission to make sure we all had a great time and got to catch scallops…. And we did just that. I was more than happy with our trip and I am so thankful that I found Capt Dave and Misty to make our day more than perfect. Capt Dave and Capt Misty are 1000% the best captains and I would recommend them together or separately for any trip to anyone out there looking to go scalloping or fishing. Capt Dave knows his stuff out there on the water and he will make sure you have an incredible trip! My family and I will definitely be back for scalloping and/or fishing trip and I will 1000% only use Capt Dave or Capt Misty any time we come back. Thank u thank u thank u Capt Dave and Capt Misty for everything you both did to make sure our family had an amazing trip! Y’all are the best and a great team! Until next time!!!!
