Captain David was fantastic! His knowledge and expertise made for an incredible fishing trip. We caught plenty of fish, and he went above and beyond to engage our kids, teaching them about fishing, bait, and boats along the way. He took us to multiple spots and was determined to help us land a big one—and we sure did! We had an amazing time and are already planning our next trip with him in the coming...

Awesome experience with David. He is a great guy, easy to talk with, and a lot of experience. We had a fun time and caught plenty fish with David (and normally i never catch anything). We are already planning our next trip with David, couldn't recommend more!
