Capt. Dave's Sport Fishing

Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, soft-soled closed-toe shoes, and any food or drinks you'd like (no glass). Dress in layers for the conditions.

Most captains fillet and bag your catch after the trip, often for a small gratuity. Confirm with your captain.

It depends on the season and conditions. Check the target species on the listing; your captain will put you on what’s biting.

All fishing trips include tackle, baits, ice, coolers, USCG safety equipment, and licenses. You may bring drinks and snacks in a plastic bag to go in the cooler. No carry-on coolers or large bags — space is limited on the boat.

Bring drinks (no glass), sunglasses, hats, and wear soft-soled closed-toe shoes. A plastic grocery bag with snacks and drinks can go in the cooler. Larger bags and coolers should be left behind in your vehicle.

Fishing experience is very helpful — the more fishing and tackle-handling experience you have, the better (no different than golfing). You must be mobile: standing, casting, and battling fish means being able to move around the boat deck.

Depending on the season, anglers target Redfish, Seatrout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and more. Capt. Dave knows the local spots and techniques to help guests catch fish year-round.

Inshore fishing is most productive October through May, with the winter months of December through February being outstanding.

Kids over 10 can do a 4-6 hour charter. Capt. Dave specializes in 2-hour Kids fishing trips in Jacksonville for children under 10 — a 2-hour Kids Trip is 2 children under 10 and one adult, or 2 adults and one child under 10.

Insurance companies frown on alcohol on the boat. The suggestion is to save it for celebrating on land once we return.

Capt. Dave fillets and bags your fish on a gratuity basis 'after the charter is over', and the boat is on the trailer. Your stored cooler can keep all the leftover ice for transport.
