His number of repeat customers dictates that. Capt. Dave specializes in all types of inshore fishing. His main focuses are redfish, snook, and big big goliath grouper. He also catches other species including trout, tarpon, sharks, sheepshead, snapper, flounder and many other types of saltwater fish. Capt. Dave Hoke runs three boats. He runs a 22 foot Shearwater tower boat for tarpon and flats fishing, a 17 foot Ranger Phantom for super skinny tailing redfish, and a Ranger 19'1 Cayman as well. Capt. Dave Hoke and Capt.

Fishing Boats

22' Shearwater Tower Boat -225 Yamaha HPDI with tower & controls

The Shearwater is equipped with a custom fully rigged tower which gives the captain an extra advantage when searching for tarpon in the bay, schools of redfish on the flats, or snook on the beaches. Also to our advantage is the speed available to us from the 225 Yamaha when it's necessary to cover a large territory in a short amount of time. This Shearwater has 2 Bait Wells, 1 Live Well, Raw Water Washdown, Castnet Washdown, Trolling Motor, Hydraulic Steering with tower control, Jack Plate & Trim Tabs, Full Gauges, 3 Large Locking Storage Compartments, Full Console with Locking Storage & Rocket Launcher w/ flip seat for storage of tackle.

17' RANGER PHANTOM 168- 60 Yamaha 4 Stroke

When its important to go real shallow for those large tailing redfish, or on the shallow flats for Trout, or Snook hiding near the mangroves, this 168 Phantom is setting even higher standards for extreme shallow water performance. The overall design balance reinforces its noticeably shallow draft while providing even easier poling. Combined with a tournament-sized live release well and baitwell, recessed trim tabs, flush-mounted push pole holders, we have added a power power pole that will not only hold the boat securely in one place but it is strong enough to stop the boat even under extreme wind and current conditions...giving you the Angler's Advantage

19' RANGER CAYMAN 191

Our 19' Ranger Cayman is engineered to move in silence allowing us speed on the flats and agility and stability in the shallows ... Experience the Angler's Advantage.

The Captain will provide: fishing license, Ice, rods & reels, tackle, bait, cooler,
fish cleaning service, and a phenomenal adventure on the water!

What you should bring: sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, non-markable shoes such as running shoes, food and drinks, camera, hat, For early morning trips and cooler temperatures bring a light jacket.

Where to Stay: If your looking for a beautiful place to stay right on Pine Island and only minutes away from our meeting location of Pineland Marina, we would highly suggest "The Beach House Lodge".

We typically meet and leave from the Pineland Marina located on the North/West side of Pine Island. The Captain will confirm the meeting location and time with you at the time of booking the charter. Its always good to give yourself extra time and arrive early.
