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!

Great time with Captain Don. He put us on the fish and it didn’t stop. Got back to the dock and other fisherman were admiring the size of our yellowtail. Definitely going back for a full day.

On behalf of Warren Herndon, Wayne Hall and myself (Dexter Hudson), I would like to report that we had an outstanding time on our fishing excursion with Captain Don.

Captain Don was very enjoyable to talk and visit with and he also patiently answered all of our questions, explaining what he was doing. And he worked like a Trojan baiting and putting new hooks and leaders on our poles after sharks robbed us of our
catch when we reeled in too slowly.

We did manage to reel in 22 good-sized Yellow Tail snapper and were able to return home as conquering heroes with meat for the table. Don not only cleaned the fish but provided several tasty recipes. The gentlemen did the cooking, the wives joined us in devouring the meal and we all had big smiles on our faces..

Thanks Captain Don! If or when we get back, you'll be the man we call!
