Captain Daniel Powell, the driving force behind Badfish Fishing Charters, has woven his life's passion seamlessly into his career. With a lifelong connection to Sneads Ferry waters, he's nurtured an intimate understanding of its diverse marine ecosystem. This love affair with the sea led him to settle permanently in the area and chart a course towards a fishing career. Daniel's journey started as a mate on a charter boat before his curiosity veered towards the challenges of the commercial fishing industry. However, his heart drew him back to charter fishing after earning his captain's license. His experiences in commercial Grouper fishing have honed his skills, ensuring that every fishing trip is a perfectly orchestrated adventure. Daniel's ultimate mission is to provide you with a superlative fishing experience, coupling exceptional fishing opportunities with uncompromised safety.

Captain Daniel's expertise is a symphony of angling techniques that compose a comprehensive and dynamic fishing repertoire. From the precision of bottom fishing to the thrill of trolling, he navigates the waters with finesse and know-how. Whether it's the artistry of jigging, the finesse of light tackle, or the power of heavy tackle, Daniel adapts seamlessly to each approach. His mastery extends to spinning, kite fishing, and the intricate art of deep sea fishing. Drift fishing and handline methods also fall within his skill set, adding depth to his versatile toolkit. With a spectrum of techniques under his belt, Daniel curates fishing experiences that are as diverse as the ocean itself, ensuring every trip is an unparalleled adventure.
