We caught whiting, pompano, jacks, sharks, and even a few stingrays! We had our two children with us and they were wonderfully patient and answered what felt like thousands of questions! After the trip, Jimmy filleted out the twenty or so keepers and we feasted on fresh fish the next night. We look forward to fishing with them again next summer when we are back on Amelia Island.

We went at 11 and go in within a few minutes!!!!! Thank you for a fun time Captain Scott

We walked into the store after the kids saw some really cool fishing shirts along with dozens of…read more"stuffed" game fish such as mahi mahi and tarpon. The kids had a lot of fun trying to name all the fish that were hanging around inside the store. If you want to buy a tee shirt to remember your visit to Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island stop into this store. They have the best selection of tee shirts in Florida. Guy Harvey and other top brands. This is not the typical tourist shop. Everything is of the highest quality and from what I've heard a great place to book a fishing trip while in the area.

I went fishing with Captain Dave years ago - back when I was probably 12 or 13 years old. It was…read moreone of the best experiences of my life. Capt. Dave was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the man knows his fish. We headed out early one morning from Fernandina. It was great weather, clear and not too hot for the middle of summer. The captain told us to head into the marina and we'd recognize him because he's the biggest guy there. He's also the nicest guy there but he wouldn't tell you. We had a great ride out. Capt. Dave said that he had just replaced the engine, and you could tell. It was purring. The ride was fun and smooth. But the fun started when we stared fishing. Captain Dave knows the waters around Amelia. It's his home. We started the day without too much action, but we were honing in. We passed some other boats and it was obvious Dave was friends with all the captains. Fun to see other people on the water. But the real fun started later. We saw some action in the water and Captain Dave and the first mate said it looked like a sailfish. Dave was determined to get it. As we cruised I heard the line snap. Dave yelled, "Sail! Sail!" And I saw a fish larger than I was at the time jump out of the water. We fought the fish for an hour, and landed it. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life. On a separate trip with Capt. Dave we landed so many barracuda we had fish in the freezer for a year. This man knows how to fish.
