Learning with Captain David
Day grew up around Jacksonville’s waterways and began fishing at fourteen. His biography describes more than forty years of local experience and a Master captain license. The charter’s beginner trips cover tackle use, casting and understanding the water.
The fishing descriptions focus on the Intracoastal and St. Johns River, with redfish, trout, flounder, ladyfish and bluefish among the targets. Separate wildlife tours can include some light fishing by arrangement.
Boat and trip choices
The listed boat is a 22-foot Nautic Star powered by a 200-horsepower Suzuki. The detailed boat record and fishing packages allow four guests. A biography paragraph mentions six, so confirm capacity if your group exceeds four.
The online menu advertises outings starting at $225, including fishing, eco tours and memorial services. That starting price does not establish the cost or hours of every fishing trip. Request a quote for the specific date, duration and party.
Included equipment and reservation terms
The captain page includes rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, license coverage, fish cleaning and bottled water. Bring food, other drinks, weather-appropriate clothing and sun protection.
A deposit is taken at checkout, with the balance payable on the trip date. The posted policy requires three days’ notice for a guest-cancellation deposit refund. A guide cancellation offers a new date or a deposit refund.
Confirm where to meet
The FAQ’s street reference does not give a clear marina or ramp entrance. Ask David for the exact meeting pin and parking directions. This is especially useful if you are visiting Jacksonville and unfamiliar with its separate waterways.
Use the direct phone or email to explain whether you want a fishing lesson, a family outing or a wildlife trip with a little fishing added. That choice helps establish the time and route.
