Well I add yet another wild fishing adventure with the man, Capt. Dan! We wreck fished three days in early September with outstanding results. The first day Dan and I hammered some nice muttons in 210 ft of water. Throughout the day, we had to fight through the sharks to land our fish. Summer time in south FL equals LOTS of BIG sharks, especially on the wrecks. We landed one bull that was an easy 300 lbs and had about 10 cobia on her. We ended up catching 5 cobia, the biggest weighing in at 35 lbs. The second day proved to be incredible! We had the wildest mixed bag that I have ever experienced! We landed mutton snapper, red snapper, gag grouper, black grouper, AJ's, yellow jacks, almaco jacks, cubera snapper, african pompano, cobia, blacktip sharks, bull sharks, and atlantic sharpnose sharks. It was amazing!! We also lost some nice fish which were taken by the sharks and goliath grouper. The third day was a little tough due to the weather. We still managed to boat some muttons, a BIG gag, and some AJ's. The bottom fishing is red hot at the moment and offshore is just now heating up. The wahoo and sailfish will be thick in the next coming months. If you're ready to catch some fish and have an absolute blast, get up with Capt. Dan! I guarantee you won't be disappointed. More then likely, you'll need some advil for the aches from all the fish you hook and catch. Thanks again Dan for some more great memories on the water and I'm looking forward to fishing with you soon!!

Captain Dan we had a fantastic time on our recent fishing trip with you. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. You and your mate Mike made our trip fun, exciting and we will remember it for many years to come.
I was fishing challenged and you guys would hook them and then let me reel them in. We had a blast and will definately do it again when we are in the Keys.
Hope to see you when you visit Tennessee!

Great Trip! We went out for a bachelor party fishing trip and had a blast. Caught something like 13 and our boat even got a shark. Great way to spend a day. Captain Dan was the best, completely knowledgeable and an amazing fisherman. Thanks for the experience.

I have been deep sea fishing on many occasions and this past experience with Dan was, by far, the best! The Snapper, Shark, and Cobia kept us busy all day long and the Cobia and Snapper made for some great tasting fish dinners! Thanks for the great time Dan and best of luck for the remainder of the year!

My wife and I went fishing with Dan and had a tremendous day. I have fished in Cabo, Cozumel, Bahamas, Hawaii, Galveston and Alaska and Dan was by far the best Captain I have ever had. Our biggest fish was an 8 ft Lemon Shark but that was only one of many species and sizes. Dan was very involved and made sure we were happy with everything. The best part was that I think he had as much fun as we did!! I can't wait to go back and take my 16 year old son. Thanks Dan for a great day.

Just back from a great week in Key West. Of all the activities that I participated in during my vacation, Shark fishing with Captain Dan was by far the most enjoyable. His ability to get us to great fishing spots was superb and his crew was wonderful and very down to earth. Loved my trip.

We had a great day fishing. Capt. Dan took my daughter age 17 and my son age 15 and myself out. He put us on the fish and wore my kids out catching them.. Thanks for the memories my kids will have.

My buddies and I fished 5 days with Dan last month (mid-June). The first day was slow due to weather conditions but we fished hard and managed to put some good muttons in the boat along with a pile of yellowtails. The second day, we drifted crabs over some wrecks first thing in the morning and busted some BIG permit in the 25-30 lb range. After that, we bottom fished the wrecks using live baits. We DESTROYED the muttons including one pushing 20 lbs. We caught a boat load of AJ's, yellow jacks, muttons, an estimated 450 lb goliath grouper, a 9 ft lemon shark, and picked off a few more permit towards the evening. We were constantly hooked up throughout the day! Exciting is an understatement! The next few days, we fished the bluewater (trolling) and experienced some incredible fishing. We caught approximately 17 dolphin all in the 15-20 lb range! The biggest fish of the day were a 48 lb bull and a 46 lb bull!!!! Absolutely AMAZING!! We also boated a tripletail, kingfish, and a nice 20 lb blackfin tuna. I've been fishing hard my entire life and these were some of the most memorable and exciting days I ever had on the water. I thank Dan for that! Dan puts fish in the boat!! Regardless the elements, Dan fishes hard and with extreme passion. He enjoys to watch people catch fish and also teach you a thing or two to make you become a better angler. If you want to take a trip to the Keys and you want to CATCH some fish, give Capt. Dan a call! All I can say is, you better be ready to fish!! Thanks again Dan and I'll be fishing with you for many YEARS to come!!
We are Key West residents, and we consider you one of the best. Thank you for an a wonderful experience making Mia's day a most special and memorable one.
