A Quick History on Captain Dan 'SurfMan' Bourcier

Being a Florida native, I grew up fishing. Throughout my life I fished both recreationally and as a successful tournament angler. During the past 20 years I have competed in many events including the Pompano Beach Fishing Rodeos, Bahamas Billfish Championships, Southern Kingfish Association Tournament Trail, and 7 years of Boca Grande Tarpon Tournaments. Now, as a professional Captain, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and tactics with other anglers both new to fishing and/or new to the area.

I offer several different trips that bring you head-to-head with Kingfish, Permit, Goliath Grouper, Snapper and others, depending on the season. A back-country trip can keep a rod bent on a slam of Redfish, Snook or Trout. At the right time of the year we can take a short ride to World Famous Boca Grande pass for your chance at a 'Silver King'. If you're just looking to relax, I offer a variety of scenic tours and lunch trips to Rum Bay or Cabbage key. These trips often bring you face to face with dolphins, manatees, and a variety of Florida wildlife.
