4 hour afternoon trip

4 Hour PM - Kingfish Trip on August 26, 2023 • 4 adults

Our trip began with a cruise along the beach looking for live bait. The baitfish were scarce so Captain Chris headed offshore and quickly adapted our itinerary to bottom fishing. We were kept busy catching Red Snapper and a few other random species. Captain Chris kept everyone’s hook baited, and offered tips on technique. The most exciting moment was when my son hooked something big enough to run away with the line. He struggled to reel it in and after fighting it for a few minutes the line snapped. Captain Chris speculated it was a Goliath Grouper. On our way in we trolled for Tarpon and got a hit but the hooks didn’t set. It was a great day on the water and we learned a lot. Hoodoo Fishing charters provided a personable and professional fishing experience and I would recommend them to anyone.

In all types of weather!!

Full Day 8-Hour Trip on May 31, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

Captain Tim was awesome! We did not have the wind on our side and the forecast just didn’t happen the way it was supposed to. Captain Tim still put us on fish. The kids had a blast, we all had great conversation, it was just a great trip. We will be booking with him again.
