Hound Dawg Charters
Hound Dawg Charters
If you’re looking for a charter that can take you into the Atlantic after some major pelagic predators, as well as provide a fun and safe experience for new anglers, you’re looking for Hound Dawg Charters. Captain Ricky Falls knows all the hottest fishing spots around, from the coast to the deep blue sea.
Join Capt. Ricky and 1st. Mate Garren aboard “Hound Dawg”, a 48’ Viking sport fishing boat. She’s quite spacious, able to hold 6 anglers fishing at the same time without bumping elbows. She’s quite comfortable, so you can relax and just focus on the perfect cast. A fully air-conditioned cabin will keep you cool. Added comfort comes from a full-head toilet, brand new indoor couch and seating, and brand new carpet and counter tops.
She’s seriously equipped for sportfishing too. Outriggers will extend your reach when trolling, while a live bait tank makes sure your bait stays active and appetizing. A fighting chair will give you support as you battle big boys offshore. Her brand new 2021 dual 625 FPT engines allow you to cruise at a maximum speed of 28 knots, impressive for a vessel her size.
Capt. Ricky will take you after a variety of gorgeous fish. You’ll troll for Kingfish and Sailfish, bottom fish for Groupers, and also do some spinning and drift fishing. You can even do some kite fishing for Marlin! You will be provided with all the required equipment by the captain.
There is a first mate on board to clean and fillet your catch, also to assist you in any way possible. He works for tips and a 20% tip is customary.
Get your polarized sunglasses and waterproof camera, and book a trip to set off on an offshore adventure of a lifetime with Hound Dawg Charters!

Trip of a lifetime!
Just want to come on here and say captain Rick does not disappoint. I told him before hand what we wanted to target and you can bet they were in the boat in no time. Ricks communication prior to the trip was excellent. His crew Garren and Ray were absolutely top notch, they were both knowledgeable and very patient with my daughter throughout the full day trip. The boat was absolutely amazing equipped with A/C and a toilet when you needed a break. Hound Dawg will put you on the fish! Thank you Rick, Garren and Ray for everything we will be back in the future. You will not be disappointed when you book this charter, they absolutely made this a trip that I will never forget with my daughter.

First time but not the last time!
We had a great trip with Hound Dawg Charters, even with rough seas. Captain Rick handled the conditions with confidence and kept us on fish throughout the day. While we didn’t catch anything huge, the action was steady and the group had a great time. Garren, the first mate, was a standout—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with gear, bait, and anything else we needed. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and clearly run by a team that knows what they’re doing. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced crew and a fun day on the water, Hound Dawg Charters is a solid choice. We’d definitely go out with them again.

Great crew and day on the water!
The captain and his first mate were awesome! We discussed fishing plans for the day before we left and had a great day out on the water catching tuna and mahi mahi. We definitely plan on going out with them again when we are back in town!

Great day fishing
Even though the seas were quite rough and the fish didn’t want to cooperate fully both Captain Rick and 1st Mate Garren did everything they could to give us a truly amazing experience. My son was so happy catching what he could and just being out on the water taking it all in. Captain Rick is so experienced navigating the waters and finding the best spots to fish while Garren taught us so much not only about fishing techniques but also the water and surrounding area in general. Thank you Hound Dawg Charter for making Carson’s graduation present exactly what he wanted!
