When in Crystal River, we will always fish with Captain Dave! Great captain and a man of integrity!

March 6, 2025

Captain Dave is a true professional. Great equipment, knowledgeable in finding fish in changing weather conditions. Was a little worried about fishing after a cold front, but Captain put us on the fish. Very accommodating and courteous. Very good day and will be booking again

March 6, 2025

Captain David did it again! He definitely knows the spots and makes sure you have a great fishing experience. Great boat, best dog and happy customers!

March 6, 2025

We had such an amazing experience fishing with Captain David Stump. We had along our two boys, 7 and 9, and Captain was so awesome and patient with helping them fish and showing them what to do. It was a windy day and he powered through it with us and made it so much fun! We would recommend Salty Day Fishing!

March 6, 2025

Highly recommend Capt-David Stump 🤗 We had an absolute blast today! Although we took a chance going today as it was predicted to be really windy, Gage Slater and I had our time already booked 😳 and well… he and I have an agenda to keep and this mama has to go back to work too soon 😂 Captain David said it was our choice, but he would make the best of it! I absolutely said my prayers and well what do ya know… it was a beautiful day and an amazing time! Thank you Lord ❤️🙏 We experienced much wildlife… a large sea turtle (which I thought was an otter at first glance 🙄), a manatee, beautiful birds, dolphins as well as caught a large variety of fish including speckled trout, sand trout, squirrel fish, lady fish, ramora, sea bass, mackerel, lots of catfish, jack, pin fish and some sea grass 😂 EVERYONE caught a baby shark too 🤗 Thank you Captain David for a VERY eventful day, taking great care of us and answering all the questions for an inquisitive fisherman Gage ❤️ We would love to book another charter soon!
