Captain Don has always loved fishing. He grew up in Ohio, fishing for Smallmouth Bass and Walleye. When he got older, he spent 6 years as a U.S. Marine and fished in North Carolina and Southern California. I moved to Islamorada in 1986 when my enlistment was over. Been fishing ever since!

We had a good trip with Capt. Don.
Very friendly and knowledgeable.
We did have to cut our trip short, as one of our party got sea sick.
Thanks Capt. Don.
(He is also a veteran).

Captain Don is a great captain! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We left with plenty of fish when it seemed like the rest of the marina had little luck. Would definitely book with captain don again

Great captain for a rough seas trip! Captain Don was very accommodating when the seas were 3-5’ waves and we were debating whether or not we would go! We ended up leaving a little later to see if the winds called down. He navigated us professionally through some pretty rough ...Read More
