Captain Patrick with Day Maker fishing charters out of Jensen Beach, Fl, did an amazing job. I have been out on a few full day charters and not a single one was nearly as fun as the day I spent with Patrick. It was a rough go trying to make bait, but we were able to make enough to get the day started. He was not afraid to travel to make it work.
I had a friend that was somewhat a novice angler, and Patrick was patient and very clear with how to fish which species. While transiting in-between fishing spots if we saw fish boiling or booming on bait, he was on it and had already shifted gears to get them on the hook.
I can personally say that from now on, I will only book charters with Day Maker charters when I come home to visit. He is hands down in the business to bring people back to fish with him and provides only the best services. Amazing boat, clean and well stocked. Best trip I have ever had, even though fishing was slow, we got our limits of amberjack and black sea bass – we also chased a sail but unfortunately were unable to hook up.
Thanks again,

My friend Andrew from Roanoke, VA and myself from St. Augustine, FL decided to go on a "Guy" Charter trip July 13th 2011. Obviously, it would have been easy to just go out of St. Augustine, FL, but I decided to look where I live and also in the Stuart, FL area. I spent weeks analyzing who I thought would be a good fit for our trip. I was able to locate DayMakerFishingcharters.com and read Captain Pat’s site and said this is the guy. Loved the fact that he keeps his fishing trips updated. Most other sites do not and that is a turnoff for me. I understand everyday you are not going to catch 50 fish, but if there is one Captain that is going to try there hardest to make that happen its Captain Pat on the DayMaker Boat.
What a great mix of fishing! Bonito, Sharks, Cobia, Mahi-Mahi, Grouper, Snapper to name a few!! Sure we didn't catch any sailfish, but man he makes sure to put you on some fish. He was personable with us and communicated with us. He even helped us book a Hotel Room near the Marina and all we had to do was show up. It was a very good overall experience and would recommend anybody out there looking to book a charter-make sure you look up this guy!
I am in the process of booking another charter with him in January so I can catch the elusive Sailfish.
Thanks again Captain Pat.
Till next time,

Capt Price of the Daymaker Fishing Charters is an extremely knowledgeable charter boat captain. His boat is well equipped with the latest electronics which he uses very well to make your day a memorable one. He is by far the hardest working captain I have ever fished with and was as committed to finding fish and staying on them as I was. Our tuna trip with Capt. Price was a huge success producing plenty of rod bending action and a cooler full of fish. I would recommend anyone thinking of taking a trip on a charter to give Capt Price a call.
Thanks you,

Captain Pat is a persistent and adaptable fisherman. He gets fish in the boat when other boats are struggling. Two quick examples:
In December 2009, my son and I were on our first sailfish trip. Pat worked hard all morning and into the afternoon with good luck on dolphin but no sails. He was monitoring the radio traffic and recommended that we move to another area, even though our scheduled trip was coming to an end. We shot over to a spot around 11 miles away and ended up pulling in 6 sailfish and 20 dolphin before the day was out. Smiles all around.
In May 2011, a friend and I were looking forward to a good day of fishing with the goal of getting some meat in the freezer. Pat recommended that we start the day bottom fishing. We moved rapidly from spot to spot; if we didn't have action in 1-2 drops Pat pulled us to another of his many marked locations. By the end of the day we had limited out on large amberjack and several types of grouper. The keepers ranged to 35 lbs and the catch totaled somewhere around 200 lbs. We caught and released many more out of season grouper, seabass, and snapper. The radio traffic indicated few if any other boats had that kind of action.
Pat is a hard worker, a patient teacher, and an experienced guide. There is no quit in him, and he loves what he does. It is a pleasure to spend a day with him, and I look forward to more fishing with Captain Pat in the future.

East Side Tuna Trip
Took a trip with Pat Price to look for YFT's and ran across to the other side. I went with my father, his friends, and my buddy who all have their own boats and are very experienced fishermen. We were all amazed at the skill and the multi-tasking ability of Pat Price. This guy was the best fisherman I have ever fished and we had our first yellowfin tuna around 30lbs and dolphin over 20lbs within 10 minutes of lines in the water. The excitement never stopped with multiple 3 headers of tuna and dolphin on at the same time and one quadruple hookup of tuna. Capt. Pat was and amazing gaffer and did not miss one fish the entire day. I couldn't believe how hard he worked and how quickly he deployed our trolling spread as we were approaching schools of hungry fish. We ended up with 15 tuna and approximately 15 dolphin with the majority of them being in the 20lb class and one 40 pounder that almost jumped in the boat. Saw a monster bull 50 plus pounds that wouldn't bite and even caught a wahoo. What a stellar day! Captain filleted fish once we were back and got to try my first yellowfin sushi as he was filleting - yum. Capt. Pat Price’s boat should be called the Yearmaker!

I took a trip this past Tuesday with Capt. Price on Daymaker, and all I can say is WOW. If you want to catch fish and have an able, energetic and willing to go the extra mile to ensure an epic day of fishing, make a reservation for the East Side Tuna trip. I have been fishing for many years, and have fished literally all over and without question the trip on Daymaker with Pat surpassed all my expectations and experience. We caught scores of fish: yellow fin, black fin, monster dolphin (45 lb+), and had several strikes from Blue Marlin. When things seemed to ease up, Capt. Pat was eager to put us back in water that guaranteed the controlled chaos of multiple hook-ups throughout our trip. The boat is fantastic, fast, and comfortable riding even in the heavy chop we encountered going back over the Stream, and Patrick is simply the best. I have already booked a return trip and can't wait.

Had a great time today. We caught fish and were treated great. Capt. Pat even spent extra time at the end of the day that he didn't have to make one more drop and we caught another 35 lb. amberjack and a 30lb.Cobia. I would recommend this trip to all my friends. We caught Dolphin, Amberjack, Cobia and Little Tunny. Thank you Captain Pat.

I have fished charter trips from the Pacific to the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and all over the Gulf of Mexico, but never fished with a more enthusiastic Captain than Pat Price. Unlike some Captains who are simply going through the motions, he genuinely wants you to catch fish. He is helpful with booking hotel/motel accommodations, restaurant choices or any other help/questions you may have.
His boat is comfortable and built for speed, both most of all, it is very fishable. He is prepared for the trip so all you have to do is step on the boat and go fish. There is no dead time loading ice, buying bait etc as all of that is done ahead of time.
While no one can guarantee the fish will bite, I feel you have the best opportunity to be successful with Captain Price. He informed us what we were going to try and catch and then would reevaluate as the day wore on. As the bite for one species slowed he would say, “Okay, the tide has fallen and the Wahoo bite has slowed, do you want to go catch some grouper and snapper while we wait for another tide change”. When the school of big dolphin showed up unexpectedly, he had rigged ballyhoo ready and instantly we were hooked up.
I know we will be booking additional trips with Captain Price. The variety of fish available in the area he fishes is unbelievable and when you combine that with an enthusiastic Captain, the possibilities are endless.
