About Your Trip

Join Captain David for a full-day 8-hour offshore fishing adventure aboard the Ring Money, where you’ll experience some of the most productive waters along the coast. This trip takes you anywhere from 8 to 35 miles offshore depending on what is biting and where the action is concentrated, giving you the flexibility to follow the fish and maximize your time on the water.

Each day is shaped by current conditions, seasonal patterns, and real-time fish movement. When offshore waters are active, you’ll run out to deeper structure, reefs, and ledges where hard-fighting gamefish are feeding. On other days, the trip may be split between offshore grounds and jetty fishing, offering a mix of environments and techniques in a single outing. This flexibility ensures you are always in the best possible position to find active fish.

Captain David keeps the approach simple, effective, and fun. The focus is not on complicated systems or overthinking the process, but on getting lines in the water and keeping the action steady. Whether you are trolling, bottom fishing, or working structure, the goal is always to put you on fish and keep the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

This trip is designed for anglers of all experience levels. Beginners are absolutely welcome, and Captain David takes pride in teaching newcomers the basics of offshore fishing, from tackle handling to reading water and understanding bite patterns. More experienced anglers will also find plenty of opportunity to refine their techniques and enjoy a full day of varied fishing conditions.

Depending on the season, anglers may encounter a wide range of offshore and nearshore species. The diversity of this fishery means that every trip can bring something different, adding excitement and unpredictability to the day. Whether targeting reef species, pelagics, or structure-oriented fish, each stop is chosen to match the best available bite.

Aboard the Ring Money, comfort and practicality come together to create a relaxed and productive fishing platform. The boat is set up to handle a full day offshore while keeping guests comfortable and engaged throughout the trip. Captain David and his crew focus on making sure everyone on board feels included, informed, and ready for action.

If you are looking for a full-day offshore fishing experience that combines flexibility, education, and steady action, Captain David’s 8-hour trip aboard the Ring Money delivers a straightforward and enjoyable day on the water built for anglers of all skill levels.

About Your Guide

David H.

Independent Guide

Capt. David is one of the lucky few to have grown up in the area and fished these water his entire life, a true local. Starting out in high school as a mate at 15yrs old, he worked his way up and gained his captain’s license at the age of 18. Started running as a Captain at 19 years old and hasn’t stopped since. He has been in the Charter Fishing industry a little over 18 years now and doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. It has always been a passion of his being on the water and making a living doing something he truley enjoys, fishing! To Captain David, there’s no better feeling then watching his clients make memories that’ll last their lifetime.

Great Trip! I’m a seasoned fisherman but, I brought my sister and girlfriend. Captain Dave has two complete polywogs and me. He did a wonderful job educating the ladies on fishing and TOGETHER, they pulled in the largest fish on the trip! Great Time!

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...
