DJ is a US Navy veteran with an honest attitude towards his business and his life in general. He’s also great with kids—so bring the whole family for a day to remember. He tailors each trip to the client at hand and will never stop on the hunt for great fish.
Head out with Captain Ariel (AKA: Captain DJ) to explore the maze of beautiful mangroves, backcountry flats, and shallow-water honey holes that make the Florida Everglades one of the top fishing destinations in the world! On these 4, 6, or 8 hour trips, there are plenty of fish to go after. Your trip with DJ could see you reeling in Redfish, Trout, Snook, Tarpon, Black Drum, Tripletail, and more.

Ariel is a fantastic guide, very versatile and willing to plan around the exact kind of fishing you want to do. The wind was blowing during our trip and Ariel worked extra hard to dig those fish out for us!

Captain DJ was Awesome! We were catching fish on the first cast, and we caught fish throughout the morning. Great day on the water! I highly recommend booking with DJ. He was very good with the kids. Plenty of room for 4 or 5 to comfortably fish from his boat. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again. …

Our trip was fantastic. Captain DJ knew all the spots and how to fish them. He knew when to move on and switch spots. He always replaced our baits before we even got a chance to ask him. He knew the sandbars and how to avoid them, keeping us safe. He would always deal with the fish we caught. I do not know how he could have made the trip better. He did an excellent job. We caught some great fish while having fun and staying safe! …
