From Total Beginner to Landing a Monster Fish

February 6, 2026

Caught the biggest fish of my life! Capt Dave was a patient and entertaining guide– I’m a total amateur: he taught me a lot, and answered my endless string of questions without missing a beat. My boyfriend, an experienced angler, also had fun and caught plenty of fish. He was impressed with the Capt’s bait and tackle, and selection of fishing spots. It was a beautiful and fun day- great scenery, good company, and excellent fishing for all ability levels! We will definitely be back.

February 6, 2026

It was a great fishing trip. Capt Dave is a great captain which our girls truly enjoyed the trip. He knows his areas to fish and did awesome of encouraging our girls to try fishing. We loved our trip because our girls learned about of fishing, saw dolphins, boats and caught several fish and sting ray. If you are ever in the Jacksonville area and like to do a fishing tour, Capt Dave is your guy.

Captain Dave Makes Every Kids Trip an Adventure

February 6, 2026

Been out with Capt Dave with the kids for several years in a row now. Did the 2 hour kids trip. Every time has been a blast. Past two years Capt Dave took us out behind the shrimp trawlers to see the sharks and dolphins as they feed on the released fish from the trawlers nets. What an experience! Never seen so many dolphins and sharks up close. They would come up right next to the boat, more then we could keep track of. Even did a catch and release on a shark. Never knew a shark would be so much work bringing in.

Other times we went fishing out by the rock jetties. Kids had a good time catching fish. Capt Dave was patient and great with the kids. Always went the extra mile to make sure they had a good trip. Two hours was just about the right amount of time with the kids. Highly recommended.

Never a Dull Moment With Captain Dave

February 6, 2026

We had an awesome time with Dave 2 weeks ago. When we weren’t catching fish in one spot, he moved us to another until we found a place that just kept on giving until we ran out of bait! The man knows Jacksonville fishing. And if you can’t tell from the videos, dude is a character. Always telling a story or giving good information. Never a dull moment on the Jetty Wolf, I would definitely do it again.

Amazing Family Trip Thanks to a Thoughtful Captain

February 6, 2026

Took the kids 15y and 4yr, both got seasick but Captain Dave not only handled well but with the shorter on open water experience took us up river for sightseeing and a bit of history it was a great end
