Captain
David Spahr

Member since February 2021 Hilton Head Island, United States
Background
Captain David used to work for a ferry boat operation with a captain who also ran fishing charters part-time and who asked him to mate with him on those fishing charters. Captain David accepted and they started running full-day charters to the “Snapper banks”. So, about 40 miles offshore, he learned to bottom fish. It was a fast and furious way to learn but he loved it. He knew that fishing would be a way of life for him from then on. After a couple of years working there, he did a tour in the USCG. Returning to the area, he found myself back doing fishing charters as a mate. After a couple of years on deck, Captain David obtained his captain’s license and began running charters.
Techniques
At anchor or drifting using live bait or chunk bait. Sight casting with spinning gear to surfacing fish. The surprise of a fish hitting a bait and stretching the line is always exciting!

Half day near shore / inland with captain Dave

GECONTROLEERD   4 Hour Trip โ€“ Inshore/Nearshore AM on April 26, 2022
It was too windy for captain Dave to execute his plan for the day so we drove around looking for spots letting lines soak in...
