The captain shared his knowledge and experiences while patiently teaching us to cast accurately.  The day was beautiful … fish were caught … porpoises were seen … a lighthouse was visited …and we had a nice “red drum on the half shell” that afternoon off the backyard grill.

My son and grandson and I went out with Dustin for a 7am start. He was ready to go when we arrived. It was a tough day with tides and weather this week fighting against us.

Dustin used every trick in his arsenal. He is very knowledgeable about fish and how to get them. We tried several spots with little results then moved on. Finally we hit the right place and he taught us exactly how to catch them. We resulted in a bunch of red drums plus a few smaller fish. We were very happy with the experience and learned a lot. Thanks for a great morning on the water!

Dustin did a fabulous job guiding our fishing trip. We had a 7, 11, and 15 year old and he made sure each child was attended to. He taught them how to cast and baited line after line. He was so flexible with our trip and what we wanted to do. He did everything he could to make sure we were successful. Most fishing charters were coming up empty due to harsh conditions, but we caught redfish, flounder, trout, and some bait fish that still excited the little one. At the end of the day everyone was all smiles and thanking me for booking this trip . Thanks for all your hard work, Dustin!

This was not our first time booking with Captain Dustin. Every time we book with him my girls and I have a blast. We caught a few fish this time, and unfortunately none of them were keepers. Despite that we had a blast, and taking turns throwing the shrimp net and catching shrimp was the highlight for all, except my youngest who screamed to keep the “seabugs” away from her. The lighthouse walk with all the seashells was enjoyable, especially for my youngest who found some amazing shells including a giant conch shell. Rather than being disappointed about the lack of fish to take home, I was most sad that I didn’t find any shark’s teeth, but fishing and shark teeth hunting is all a game of chance and sadly it was not my day for luck. Since the charter ended, both of my kids have been asking to go back. No matter if we got to take fish home or not, this charter is enjoyable and we look forward to fishing with Captain Dustin again, if he can handle my horrible fish puns again.

Best fishing trip I’ve ever been on!

The Captain put me on an in-shore grand slam!
