Had a great time on the water! He was easy to talk to, never bored! Dave was great with our 12yr old son. I love that he used live bait. Highly recommended!

Mother Nature had some of her own ideas about how our day should go and Captain Dave was creative, extremely hard-working and never gave out of ideas to put us on fish. We are new to fishing in the sound and we finished our day with a much better understanding, lots of laughs an...

Really tuff conditions. Captain Dave worked hard to find fish. Unfortunately they had lockjaw. Excellent captain, really nice boat and equipment.

We had a great time on the Neuse River, fishing with Dave! He went above and beyond, making sure we had a good time. Couldn't have asked for a better time on the water.
