Our Clients tell the story of Anglers Choice!.

I’ve lived in Florida most of my life and had a fishing rod thrust at me before I was 5 years old. My granddad turned me into a good surf fisherman, but I had never caught a snook, something I’d always wanted to do. So very early one morning my step-daughter and I went to sea with Captain Dale Thompson.

The day started with watching the sunrise as we motored into the Atlantic ocean to catch our bait. The sea was calm and before long we had caught our live bait and proceeded to the first of several of Dale’s favorite fishing spots. The fishing was unbelievable. I tied into a really nice snook and because Dale had instructed me on how to keep it from jumping and throwing the hook, we successfully netted and boated the fish. After taking pictures we returned the snook to the water to fight another day.

Later we moved on to another spot and were greeted by a mama manatee and her baby. What a sight, to see this wonderful creature living free in her native environment! We fished there for awhile and had a couple of misses, so we moved to another of Dale’s fishing spots and it proved to be the best one of the day. After catching and releasing several snook, Tiffiny hooked one that headed straight for the mangroves where her line predictably became tangled. Dale, minus shirt and shoes, jumped in and waded into the mangroves, untangled the line and captured the wayward fish, the largest of the day.

Fishing with Dale is an informative and fun-filled experience. I’ve fished with him twice and would gladly do so again.
