Visiting Sanibel Island as a child, Captain Dan was always the one to disappear all-day fishing all around the Island. That expanded once he moved permanently in 1991. Now with over thirty years of exploring the area, he is happy to share his experience with those who enjoy being on the water.

He has owned several boats in the past. His favorite being an Indian River Canoe. He used to love getting into those really shallow creeks and oyster bars. Fishing out of a Maverick 18 HPX, he'll take you to most of those shallow areas and still allow you to explore multiple locations in one trip!

Although he'll use live bait from time to time, he specializes in teaching the art of artificial lure presentations.

About Your Trip

Join Captain Dan to customize a perfect day on the water out of Fort Myers! Little fishing in the morning. Bring a picnic lunch at a private beach location. Little shelling in the afternoon, or if you'd rather chase your next trophy the whole time he can't help with that as well! Captain Dan is all about catering to your preferences and wants to help you plan a memorable experience!

Captain Dan likes to run
trips around Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, Pine Island, and Matlacha, but also runs trips in farther destinations like the Everglades, Cape Romano, and 10,000 Islands for an additional 75$ charge if you are interested in exploring a little further from home base! Depending on where you choose to go and what you’re aiming for, you could have opportunities at Redfish, Snook, and Trout, to Tarpon and a variety of Snapper species while out there with Dan.

Capt. Dan will supply everything you need for a productive day of fishing, including rods, reels, and tackle. Though he'll use live bait from time to time he is truly a master of artificial bait presentation and loves to show his clients the wonders of light tackle sight fishing. He’ll also provide bottled water, though you’re free to bring any other snacks and refreshments you’d like to enjoy. At the end of the day, he’ll clean and bag your catch for easy transport home.
