### 5/5 — YSWG is family

*2026-06-12, version 3.33.0*

YSWG is great. You’re part of a family of fishermen. Dave is the leader of the gang. His experience and knowledge will blow you away. If you want to learn the easy way listen to him and join his program. I don’t regret joining this group. Dave’s daily podcasts are entertaining and educational.

### 5/5 — Lots of Information

*2025-09-21, version 3.27.0*

This app and platform have helped transform my fishing know how immensely. 
The plethora of videos from anchoring to how to rig a flyer for tuna on the kite and hot spots that explain not just the coordinates but the how and why. Also Dave Hansen makes himself available for calls to answer questions and guide you for personalized help. It’s super rare and I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Captain Dave’s App

*2024-04-07, version 3.16.1*

This is my favorite by far. Dave goes far and beyond to his subscribers, he called me once I was shocked. He also replies to comments which is amazing. I only have month to month because I don’t have a boat right now. I go out with my buddy. I told him I’d pay half, I keep trying to get him to join but he picks his boogers and eats em. He thinks he knows everything.
