(239) 825 - FISH

Hooked on fishing since the age of five!!

I am Captain Dan Haley, a fourth-generation of Naples, Florida. My family settled in Naples in the early 1900's, when my great grandparents arrived as commercial fishermen. Years later, when I was the age of five, my personal fishing experiences began on the Naples pier. I had hooked a six-pound red-fish, but I fell off the pier into the water. My father jumped into the water and pulled me to safety. Upon my recovery, I realized the rod was still in my hand, and I successfully landed the fish. It was that very moment that I fell in love with the sport of fishing, and I would always find a way to go fishing.

When I completed high school, I moved to California where I continued my education and became an engineer. For more than ten years I lived the life of an engineer, but I continuously daydreamed of charter fishing. In 1993, I returned to Florida to pursue that dream. Got my Captains License and Day Dreamer Fishing Charters was born.
