Testimonials
Tom Hill
David was excellent and energetic about his job. It's nice to have a guide who is fun as well as knowledgeable. The weather threw us a curve ball, but David was able to improvise because of his knowledge of the area we were fishing. It was obvious that he does a lot of scouting, even on the bait fish. Nothing is worse than spending your time searching for bait, but David had them pegged. Fishing was excellent, and I would highly recommend him to others looking for a great trip.

This was a amazing 3hr kids fishing trip! Capt. David was patient and energetic with the kids and adults! We are not seasoned fishermen, and Capt, David set it all up and made it easy and fun! We caught lots of Trout and Red fish that he filleted for us too! It was a great fishing trip and i highly recommend Emerald Coast Bay Charters for seasoned and beginner fisherman alike.

First let me say I love to hunt and fish and paying someone to help do this makes me cringe!!! However if you want to experience inshore fishing at its finest with a true sportsman, than fishing with Captain Dave is what U need to do. This is my second trip with him and I will continue to go back year after year here in Destin. I have gone with my wife and brother and my 13-year-old son. Captain Dave understands and works to meet the needs of whatever you would like to do with regards to fishing. He is going to put you on the fish and you are going to enjoy and have a great time. If you’re looking for someone that’s going to be honest, transparent and deliver on what they say, then he is your guide here on the Emerald Coast. I know myself and any of his customers would be more than happy to share positive experiences and that is why we continue to go back with him. What a great day!
