Captain Dayron was really accommodating from our first contact. He was up to date with which areas were fishing well and was able to advise on the best pick up venue to maximise our fishing time.
We were on the fish as soon as we started casting & once we’d caught enough snapper for dinner he moved us onto snook for a better fight.
Captain Dayron was really knowledgable and friendly- he was wonderful with our 16 yr old son who wanted to catch a shark- he tried everything and involved our son in all the tactics - sadly the shark refused to bite but it wasn’t through lack of trying, we even stayed out longer than booked as he tried to get a shark.
We caught mangrove snapper, snook, trout, jack treval, catfish, lady fish and blue runner.
One of the best captains we have ever fished with.

BEST CAPTAIN AROUND. I caught so many fish my shoulder was hurting. 40+ pound tarpon, 10+ lb jack, more ladyfish than I could count, some really nice Spanish Mackerel, even a couple bluefish. We even had a dolphin swim up to the boat and we were hand feeding it threadfin bait fish. Best day on the water I’ve ever had, all thanks to Captain Dayron. He’s a cool dude who loves to see people catch fish and have a good time. His boat is awesome, we were flying across the bay in some pretty skinny water and it didnt feel dangerous at all. From all the lines on his GPS tracking where he’d been, I could certainly tell he knew what he was doing! This guy is the real deal, if you want to catch big tarpon, call Captain Dayron. If you want to catch snook or reds, call Captain Dayron. If you want to have fun catching anything that’ll bite… call Captain Dayron.

Captain Dayron is an amazing guide. From the top of the line boat, to the top of the line tackle, to his ability to find the best bait available, he provides an experience second to none. I told him I wanted to catch a once-in-a-lifetime fish to show all my buddies back home and he did not disappoint with not one, not two, but THREE tarpon, with one being 150+ lbs. There were 20 other boats where we were fishing but we were one of the only ones to land a fish, not because we were lucky but because we had the best Captain who had better baits and knew where to put them. Hands down, best Captain fishing the Pine Island Sound, Charlotte Harbor, Sanibel areas. Great personality, very patient even with relatively new fishermen like myself, who never fished this area, to catching giant tarpon in a day.

Dayron was great with the kids.  Hooking the bait and casting for them and by the end of it they were doing their own bait and casting.  Had a ton of fresh bait that we did our best to use up.  We were getting hit constantly.  Got us into a great calm spot on a crazy windy day.  We got snook, redfish, and enough snapper for dinner.  Plus several more just a bit too small to keep.  And we left behind a ton more snook churning up the water.  Caught a great sunset on the ride back.  He filleted up the snapper and we brought it to a local restaurant and they cooked it up for us.  Awesome day.  You can tell Dayon really enjoys what he does and he does his best to make sure you enjoy the day too.

I have fished with many guides all over the world and have even had my own fishing show on ESPN International and I have to say that Captain Dayron is among the very best. Quite simply he knows what he’s doing and he puts in the time and effort to make sure that the day of fishing is fun as well as productive. He’s a great guy with a positive attitude. I was staying with a bunch of friends on Captiva Island in March. Captain Dayron picked us up at the beach across the street from our house and within no time we were catching delicious Sheepshead (which we had for dinner.) After catching enough Sheepshead to feed our group, we proceeded to hunt for Redfish and Snook. We caught several Snook including a nice bruiser and some hard fighting Redfish. All in all it was a great day and I can honestly say that you won’t find a better guide than Captain Dayron anywhere for any price.
