点评:Capain Dave introduced himself at the Minneapolis Boat Show on 1/28/26.
His system of reservations for trips online booking is smooth, communication is clear and informative.
A bonus is the Minnesota Nice/family friendly attitude!!!
He met us at the dock of a VRBO we rented on Marco Island, FL promptly at 8 am to fish the intercostal waterways targeting mangroves primarily for snook, but we also caught drum, jack crevalle, mangrove snapper, ladyfish and even a stingray! Dave furnished all the rods, tackle & shrimp, a Florida Saltwater licence was included in the charter fee.
On the water Dave "patiently" taught us techniques for casting and landing fish for a successful day of catch & release.
We learned a lot about tides, currents & eddies and how they affect our success rate.
On Wednesday 3/18 the water temp (>70) was warmer than the air ( 50's in the morning, low 60's afternoon ) overcast with rain on and off, we suggest 2-3 layers of clothing under raingear.
Despite the weather, the trip was a highlight of my vacation week on Marco Island and my family loved it.
We had 5 in our group, a bit cozy on Dave's 22' Skeeter, but we spread out for casting and made it work.
Looking forward to hiring Sunset Glow again on Lake Vermillion.
翻译:2026年1月28日,戴夫船长在明尼阿波利斯游艇展上做了自我介绍。
他的在线预订系统非常流畅,沟通清晰明了,信息详尽。
更棒的是,他待人热情友好,非常亲切!
早上8点,他准时在我们在佛罗里达州马可岛租住的度假屋码头与我们碰面,准备前往沿海内陆水道垂钓,主要目标是红树林附近的海鲈鱼。不过,我们也钓到了鼓鱼、杰克鱼、红树林鲷、海鲢,甚至还有一条魟鱼!戴夫提供了所有鱼竿、渔具和虾,佛罗里达州海水垂钓许可证也包含在包船费用中。
在水上,戴夫“耐心”地教我们抛竿和遛鱼的技巧,让我们成功地钓到了鱼并放生。
我们还学到了很多关于潮汐、水流和涡流的知识,以及它们如何影响我们的垂钓成功率。
3月18日星期三,水温(70华氏度以上)比气温(早上50多华氏度,下午60多华氏度)要高,阴天时有小雨,建议在雨衣下穿2-3层衣服。
尽管天气不太好,但这次旅行仍然是我在马可岛度假一周的亮点,我的家人也很喜欢。
我们一行五人,在戴夫的22英尺Skeeter船上有点挤,但我们分散开来抛竿,也没什么问题。
期待下次在弗米利恩湖再次租用Sunset Glow公司的船。
