Booked the 8 hour trip for 6 people on the Reel Hooker.  Captain and crew were on the boat with everything ready to go, right on time.  Seas were a bit rough and a few in our group didn’t have much experience on the ocean.  They ended up sea sick, but the Captain was understanding, and took them back to the dock (even though fishing was hot….two nice Mahi Mahi in the first 10 minutes of trolling).  After dropping off three from our group, my wife, 18-year-old son, and I headed back out for an awesome day of fishing.  We caught over 20 Mahi Mahi and ended the day with me landing a nice barracuda!

Crew took great care of us, kept us on the fish and worked their butts off all day.  They had cold water, soda, and beer for us.  They had some great pineapple and jichima for us in the morning, made us sandwiches for lunch, and even prepared fresh ceviche with one of the Mahi Mahi we caught.

Great day.  We had a blast!

The weather was showing to have thunderstorms all week except today.  We looked at reviews and decided to use Knotty Hooker Charters.  The crew treated us great and got us on several nice sized Mahi Mahi and a few Barricudas.  They made us fresh Ceviche while out on the water from one of our Mahi Mahis, had beer and beverages for the kids on board.  Filleted our fish for us at the end of the trip.  At the marina another boat got back and the clients asked us how we did, they had only caught two fish all day and were upset.  I would use them again!

Wonderful experience with this team. While nothing is ever guaranteed fishing out in the deep, these guys put us on the fish! Caught more than expecting during the off season. Very nice variety of fish as well. We caught Cuda’s, Mahi’s, Amber Jack, Bonito’s, and even a 30 plus lb. wahoo. Thanks for the amazing time guys. We will see you again soon!

Captain Freddy Ku and his mates were professional and accommodating. Had an amazing day with them and would gladly do it again in a heartbeat. Made a mountain of fresh ceviche that we will all be chasing to beat as the beat in the world. 9 guys on bachelor party, we give them 10/10. They even did us a 3/4 day trip leaving at 11 am for us. To kind, and we hope to return some day. Thanks again!!

The Captain was very communicative leading up to the trip which helped us understand the plan for the day and what to expect. They understood our expectations and did everything they could to get us on the target species.  The crew worked very hard to get fish in the boat.  The Captain could have sat in the seat and drove but spent much of his time working the long rod from the bridge to spark a bite, and that rod caught many. The crew on deck had already pre-rigged dozens of ballyhoo and even had to rig more as they were constantly changing baits and clearing weeds. The boat and tackle was very clean and in good shape. The rods were high quality and setup to land trophies.  The only thing that would have topped off our experience a tad better was some air conditioning in the cabin and a bit more ice in the drink cooler (late June trip). But Id still book the trip again tomorrow without it.

Sincerely,
An experienced Captain and Fisherman
