jackAiIconJack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Customers consistently praise Dave's 24+ years of expertise on the St. Johns River, where he delivers impressive results targeting redfish, trout, jack crevalle, and sheepshead. His custom-built 26-foot aluminum center console "Jettywolf" provides exceptional comfort and room for battling fish, while his knowledge of prime fishing spots and quality tackle consistently puts clients on their biggest catches. Many report landing personal record fish, with Dave's patient instruction helping both novice and experienced anglers master techniques like float-rig fishing with live shrimp. Dave's enthusiasm for fishing remains infectious after decades of guiding, showing genuine excitement when clients hook into gator trout or bull reds. Families especially appreciate his patience with children during shorter trips, and his adaptability shines when conditions change - moving from open water to scenic river tours when kids get seasick, or following shrimp trawlers to show dolphins and sharks up close. Clients frequently return for repeat trips and recommend Dave for his storytelling, humor, and dedication to ensuring everyone has a memorable day on the water.

Capt Dave is one of the most knowledgeable fishing guides/charter service's that that you can possibly find. Experience speaks in volumes and with over 24 years of experience you'll hear it loud and clear when Dave puts you on giant "Brutus T" Red fish, Jack Crevalle , Trout, you name it. If it swims in the St Johns river ask Dave and you better be ready to battle with it. Oh yea sharks are no stranger to that river too!!! Dave's custom built 26' aluminum center console was built for fishing comfort. whether for the novice angler or the old salt you and your party will appreciate the room provided while your fighting the "big one" Capt Dave is a great guy and he will make you feel welcome from the minute you step on board to when he is handing you your bag of fillets. Passenger safety is number one priority for all his clients and has numerous repeat client. This is no fish tale folks, give him a call and book while you can!!!

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.
