Fished with Captain David for two days. He was fantastic. He was kind and patient with my family and worked hard to put us on and keep us on the fish. We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trips and strongly recommend you have David take you out.

Capt David took my granddaughter, my grandson, 2 of her friends and myself out on a choppy day as a gift for my grand daughter's high school graduation. She will be studying marine biology this fall, with a passion for sharks. He put us on the sharks, and everyone had an exciting day! Thank you, Capt David!

This was our first time to Alligator point. Our family of 5 wanted to do a charter fishing trip. We contacted Capt Dave at Salty Native. He was booked and gave us many recommendations who also happened to be booked. To our delight, Capt Dave carved time out of his personal time to take us fishing! Not only we’re we impressed by his kindness, he made sure we caught fish! We laughed and fished and can’t wait until we come back! Next time we will book as soon as we know when we’re coming back! Best fishing trip and even better Capt. Thank you so much Capt. Dave and Salty Native Fishing Charters.
