Spend your day testing the waters close to the shore. Target Redfish, Flounder, and Seatrout. Or head further out to search for Mahi-Mahi, Red Snapper, Cobia, King Mackerel, and many more. There is always something in season and biting!
Always An Adventure specializes in a variety of fishing techniques, from bottom fishing and drift fishing to trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, and fly fishing. The captain knows the local waters like the back of his hand and is familiar with he fishing methods that work best.
All trips come inclusive with lures, quality gear, and tackle, but you are welcome to bring your own. When available, you will also be provided with live bait. When you come back to the shore, your catch will be cleaned and ready to jump straight into the frying pan.

Bradley Case5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the Water
Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on September 6, 2026 • 2 adultsBooked a very last-minute trip with Always an Adventure for my 14-year-old son and me, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Dale and Bear had us on fish all day, but honestly, even if the fish hadn’t been cooperating, it still would’ve been a great day on the water. He made the whole trip fun, relaxed, and memorable for both of us. We had an awesome time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Captain Dale again in the future. Highly recommend!
Enrique PadronRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAnother trip in the books with great memories
Full Day Trip – Inshore on September 12, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Dale was phenomenal and had great experience and knowledge on catching the target species. I even caught my first redfish and it was a big one. Captain Dale will take you where they’re at and make sure the lines stay tight. Will be booking again
Patrick Meakins5.0VerifiedCaptain Dale is an absolute 10!
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on March 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCouldn't ask for a better experience! We brought 3 kids 5, 3, 1, Captain Dale could not have been a better host! We were very specific about our outing ambitions as we were unsure of how it would go with our kids. He made it work the best and still put us on some great fish! 10 out of 10 I would recommend Captain Dale!
Charlie Houchins5.0VerifiedAwesome trip
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on June 4, 2026 • 5 adultsCapt Dale put us on a bunch of big trout and we limited out pretty early. He tried to put us on some reds but they just weren't biting. Definitely recommend
Darrell Hamor5.0VerifiedCaptain Dale - highly recommended
Full Day Trip – Inshore on April 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Dale was excellent with our 2 grandsons. We caught a lot of fish on this trip. Would recommend going on a trip with him everytime. Thanks Captain Dale we asked the boys how they felt about the day and they were very positive and complimentary in short; the boys had a fantastic time today. Darrell
Luke Christen5.0VerifiedAwesome Family Trip
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on April 11, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Dale was amazing with our group of 6. We ranged from 4-70 and he knew how to handle the whole group. We had beginners and seasoned vets. Everyone caught, laughed, and made plenty of memories.
Megan HartsochRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water!
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on March 19, 2026 • 5 adultsWe had a great day fishing with Captain Dale! We caught enough for dinner and had quite a few catch and release. Dale was very friendly and easy to spend the day with!
Gregory Carlson5.0VerifiedThe most fun!

Steven Deceilio5.0Verified⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Captain Dale: The Fish Whisperer
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 26, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 childrenIf patience is a virtue, then Captain Dale is a saint—because we tested his limits. Between our tangled lines, questionable casting skills, and an impressive ability to miss every bite, he somehow kept his cool and still put us on fish. He knows these waters so well, we started to suspect he might have gills himself. He tells a mean fish story and has a laugh that could scare the scales off a redfish. If you want a great day on the water, book with Captain Dale—just be ready for some world-class storytelling and a few fish-related dad jokes along the way.
Suzanne Thebeau5.0VerifiedPerfect morning on the water
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 26, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe are grandparents. Took our 3 grandsons, ages 11, 10, and 6 on a morning inshore 5 hour trip. The weather was perfect, sunrise beautiful as we boated to our first fishing spot. We moved around several times. We caught mostly trout. Some hardheads, skipjack, and gaftop. Captain Dale was so patient with the boys, teaching them the proper way to fish for trout. I would definitely recommend this fishing excursion " Always an Adventure" . An added plus is that someone cleans and filets your fish to take home.

If you’re thinking about booking with Always An Adventure Guide Service… quit thinking and do it! Capt. Dale flat-out knows how to find fish. We caught our limit of speckled trout, landed an absolute stud of a 29-inch speckled trout, and then he put us on redfish just because he wasn’t finished showing off. Turns out his slogan, “Size Does Matter,” isn’t just a slogan—it’s the truth! His first mate, Mr. Bear, deserves a raise. He may have four legs, but he’s better behaved than most fishing buddies and definitely adds to the experience. And let’s talk about the snacks… Capt. Dale’s jalapeño & cheese deer jerky ought to be illegal. Between the fishing and that jerky, I wasn’t sure which one I was looking forward to more. I might have to book another trip just for the jerky… the fish are just a bonus. If you want a guide who works hard, keeps you laughing, puts you on fish, and treats you like family, Capt. Dale is your guy. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and we’ll definitely be back. Five stars isn’t enough!
