A $50.00 charge is made for additional anglers. Most of our
trips are half day. Eco and sight seeing trips are also available
at reduced rates. To book a trip a 50% deposit is necessary.
Weather is always a factor when venturing out on the water.
Every effort will be made to reschedule trips cancelled due
to poor weather. We are most often able to do this. However,
if that is not the case, you will receive a full refund of
your deposit. Last minute trips are always a possibility,
it never hurts to inquire. We would appreciate a call the
night before a charter between 6 and 9 pm. Cell phone numbers
can be exchanged at that time. Most trips originate from the
Placida Public Ramp, adjacent to the mainland side of Gasparilla
Bridge. If possible, it is a good plan to visit this ramp
the day before the charter.

Capt. Dave will do everything within his power to provide
you with an enjoyable day on the water. Not every trip can
create memories for a lifetime, however, that is the goal
of each and every trip. Capt. Dave fishes a state-of-the art
custom rigged Pathfinder bay boat. This allows for a comfortable
ride with shallow water capability.
Dry storage is available for your personal items. An iced
cooler is available for food and drinks. Must haves for every
trip are sunglasses, sunscreen, and headwear. All licenses
and tackle are provided. We fish with top quality Shimano
reels, Loomis and St. Croix rods. All are light tackle. You
are welcome to bring your own gear as well.
.jpg) Most
of our fishing involves the use of artificial baits, however
we often use live baits -a plus for novice and inexperienced
anglers. Again, communicate your desires to Capt. Dave. It
is recommended that each day is began early at sunrise depending
upon tides and weather conditions. This is your choice, however,
as it is your trip. Afternoon charters are also available.
Please feel free to communicate your needs, desires, and
expectations before and during the trip. Most trips are begun
as species specific or what the “best bite” at
that particular time. We will discuss this with you prior
to our day of fishing. We will also discuss how to best target
the selected species.
Again, our goal is to give you an enjoyable and memorable
day on the water. For reservations and information contact:
