Rough Weather but Great Time

VERIFIED

Had rough seas which made it difficult for those without sea legs. First both Captain and Mate did a good job of going through safety and boat items. Once out, seas were rough but skipper found a good path to minimize impact. After doing some bait fishing, which was fun in itself, we found a few good spots to get red snapper. Ian the first mate did a great job organizing the tackle, rods and bait among the 4-5 people fishing at the same time. He kept everyone safely engaged in the rough seas. Among us we caught 10 good sized Red Snapper. Back on shore, First Mate did a great job getting everything cleaned up and ready to take away for an evening fish meal. It was a great time.

Fish ON w/ Hound Dog

VERIFIED

Today is Tuesday, May 23 in Destin, Florida on board the Hound Dog fishing charter with Capt. Taylor & 1st mate - Matt. We just had an AWESOME experience during 6 a.m. until Noon trip. It’s called fishing, but our group of four did a whole lot of “CATCHING” (We caught more than 50 fish & brought home 29 keepers - Triggerfish & snapper) They were delicious. Matt did an wonderful job of showing us how to fish using their tackle, & kept all lines baited & ready to go. None of us ever had to touch what we caught, and he did a great job fileting our keepers, too.Thanks Matt. Thanks Capt. Taylor for getting us there & back safely & for the helpful directions from start to finish. The Hound Dog is a beautiful boat, very clean with all the amenities, including access to a bathroom & AC cabin. To all my friends & family in OKLAHOMA, if you’re looking for a fishing charter during your vacay to Florida, look no further. FISH ON with the Hound Dog. Thanks for the memories, Paul Tackett P.S. - June 1 Red Snapper season opens. Be sure to give Capt. Taylor a call. We caught a couple of nice ones but fortunately for the fish, catch & release only at this time.
