Good knowledgable captain. Just a bad day. No reflection on him. It was windy and the waves were choppy, but we still had a good time. A bad day fishing is still better than any day at work.

If you’re looking to have the BEST time fishing in Destin. Captain Dave is the ONLY choice. Best fishing experience I’ve ever had. It was tough fishing and very windy and he still managed to get us on fish and I caught my personal best redfish. Dave is a character and that made the trip so much better. Loved every second of it. Wish I had booked a longer trip!
I’ll be back next year and...
