Captain Dan is a retired high school Industrial Arts teacher and is now a full time charter captain. Born in northwestern North Carolina he grew up fishing the lakes and streams of his native Tar Heel State for bass and trout.

After graduating from Appalachian State University he taught in the Florida public school system for thirty years. Moving to Saint Petersburg in 1968 Captain Dan has spent over 1500 days on the waters of Tampa Bay and the adjacent gulf waters in pursuit of the game fish that live there.

Captain Dan has fished the waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico since 1968. His number one priority is to provide you with an enjoyable day on the water. The prolific waters of the Tampa Bay area hold everything from pan fish to the mighty tarpon and we love to catch them all.
