About Your Guide

Captain Dave

Independent Guide

I’m just a guy who loves the water and loves to fish. I have always had a love for fishing as I owned my first boat at just 18 years old and you would frequently find me fishing some lake or river on any given day. I am married and have 2 children. I was born and raised in STL MO. I moved to FL a little over 10 years ago, in which my love for the water and fishing continued to grow. I became scuba certified but wanted more. I was tired of turning wrenches as a mechanic everyday all day, but was afraid of branching out on my own away from what was a familiar steady income. My decision to become a guide was built on passion, desire and dedication. I have always wanted to be one. I finally just hit the bullet and did it. I finally traded my wrench in for a reel and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I love what I do and I love sharing my passion for being out on the water and fishing with others.

I don’t have a favorite movie but prefer action or comedy over romance and drama any day. Fast and Furious was cool.

What’s your favorite sports team?

STL Cardinals

What was your last halloween costume?

Haha. I can’t remember when the last time was that I dressed up for Halloween.

What do you want for Christmas this year?

Hmm…anything boating or fishing will do:)

How did you get started guiding?

Someone once told me if you love what you do for work, you will never work a day in your life. Fishing is and has always been my favorite pastime. Moving to FL a little over 10 years ago has only exacerbated that love. I love the water, being out on the boat, catching waves and fishing. I love taking people out fishing that have never been fishing before and getting them on some big fish. It makes my day to see their eyes lite up when a fish hits their line. My decision to become a guide was built on passion, desire and dedication. I have always wanted to be one. I finally just hit the bullet and did it. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.

What makes you different from other guides?

My customers are the most important thing to me in every trip. I strive to make sure each and every customer has the very best experience.

Everything Else to Know

It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Long-sleeved SPF shirts are preferred. Water is included, free of charge but feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but please avoid bringing hard liquor and any glass bottles.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15-20% tip is customary.

You're all set! You don't need to buy a license for this trip.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

Cancel for free up to 7 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate you’ll be covered by our 100% weather guarantee and you won’t lose your deposit.

First Time Booking with Us?

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
