Eager to explore the versatile and exciting fishing world of Jupiter, FL with an experienced captain at the helm? Then look no further than Hooking Up Fishing Charters! Captain Tony Johnson has over 20 years of experience and he'll use that knowledge to put you on top of some of the biggest trophies of the Western Atlantic that are biting year-round in the area.

He welcomes anglers of all experience levels on his 31' GF Twinvee. Powered by two 300 HP Suzuki outboard engines, it can cruise comfortably at 35 knots and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 50 knots. Captain Tony took command of his new boat in March 2021, she is a beauty that's equipped with two Simrad Evo 3 screens to map the ocean floor together with a Simrad Halo radar to find the fish! Capable of carrying up to 6 passengers in full comfort, it comes with a saltwater shower, radio, ice chest, outriggers, and a livewell.

With Gulf Stream only an hour away, you'll have the unique opportunity to land some of the heavy-weights without spending too much time traveling to the fishing grounds. Captain Tony will tailor the trip according to your fishing goals, and the stars of your hunt might be Snook, Mutton Snapper, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and whatever else your heart desires.

Hooking Up Fishing Charters will take you up to 35 miles from the coast and provide you with the best professional Daiwa, Penn, and Shimano fishing gear. You won't have to think about the license, water, bait, or lures - everything's included in the charter. You can also assist the captain in catching the most appealing live bait at reefs.

A first mate will be present on some trips and 20% gratuity is expected in those situations. Children are more than welcome to enjoy the day onboard, however, to go offshore they must be 8 years or older.

And remember, there's plenty of fish in the sea and it's always fun to spend a day on the water chasing tails. Capt. Tony and Hooking Up Fishing Charters will ensure you have an amazing day!

    Half Day Trip with Captain Tony (was totally awesome)

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore on August 26, 2018 • 3 adults

    When I booked this charter, I made it clear that we were three peeps looking for some fun times fishing with like-minded folk. Hailing from Lake of the Woods, MN, we are used to fresh water fights (i.e. walleye, pike, musky). This was on a completely different level! Captain Tony and his first mate (also a Captain) did not disappoint! From the moment we stepped on the boat to the last one out, we were having a blast! As a rather lively bunch, we were jamming to some amazing tunes...even the Capt was heard singing along. Overall, the day was great! Caught some kings and a shark. Learned a lot about the sport too (including just how tired your arm gets reeling in a doozy). It is without reservation that I recommend Capt Tony. I cannot wait to return for more fun!

    Making it Happen

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on June 18, 2018 • 4 adults

    Captain Tony went above and beyond to give my nephews the fishing experience of their lives, and the smiles on their faces say it all. I enjoyed the comaraderie almost more than the fishing. Captain Tony is a genuine captain, he knows his craft, and I know through conversation that he is in the business to provide the full fishing experience. I have been on many fishing trips, and I would absolutely recommend Captain Tony for his expertise and customer service. Thank you Captain Tony for showing my nephews how awesome florida fishing can be!

    Half day nearshore trip with captain Tony

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore on August 17, 2018 • 4 adults

    Had a great day out with Tony and his 1st mate Mick, these guys knew what they were doing and had us reeling in a monster baracuda within 3 minutes of starting to fish. Which was followed up with a bunch more. The captain and his boat were perfect for the trip we went on and i would easily recommend it to friends and do it myself again!

    Half Day Trip

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on June 12, 2018 • 5 adults

    This fishing charter was different than expected, but turned out to be a great time! Most fishing charters I have been on before everyone would fish at the same time and catch the same stuff and then we’d move. This trip was different because you take turns reeling in the different catches that the captain puts you on. Overall, this was a fun trip and I’d recommend it if you don’t mind that everyone isn’t fishing at the same time!

    The bite just wasn’t on for this day, but Captain Tony did his best to get us on some fish. I’d definitely go fishing with him again!
