For 28 years, Capt. Dave, is a veteran area guide providing various inshore trips for those looking for serious hands on fishing. Take a trip on his 2025, 20' Alloy Plate side console custom bay boat, while fishing in the protected river & salt marsh areas of Jacksonville, Florida. All trips are based on up to 6 hrs. max. 2 persons. (Kids 10 years old and above only.) Some species in N.E. Florida are seasonal, others are not. Tides are always a big consideration. Discussing your charter with Capt. Dave is always recommended. You'll have to be mobile, and your success will be helped by knowledge of handling the tackle. Casting of spinning tackle, live shrimp fishing with baitcasting tackle. Always come dressed for success. Sneakers, wide brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, are a must. Along with Sun protective clothing.
