5 Hour Summer Trip (PM)
Awesome experience!
This crew worked hard to get us on the water and get fish in the boat! We had an inexperienced group with a wide range of ages (11-78) and the crew was patient and very helpful. Everyone landed fish and had a great time! Would 100% book this crew (Capt. Tim and 1st Mate Andy) everytime!

8 Hour Trip – Fall
Unbelivable day, excellent results, and even better crew
This was a last minute trip, so there was very little time to setup anything. The crew had it all squared away when we arrived at 7am and even helped us add two more guests. The morning started out catching some bait and then we headed out. We had 3 adults and 5 kids under 15. All had fished in the bay and 5 or so miles out, but only one had gone deep. The crew made them feel right at home and took the time to teach them, not just tell them what to do. We did not waste time in places where the fish weren't biting and moved on. Two in our party got seasick (not the crews fault) and they took the time to help them overcome it. We caught 37 keepers. We caught dozens of non-keepers and Andy (the mate) was very diligent to safely get the fish off the hook and keep them alive to catch again another day. I have fished for many years and never seen someone as diligent as he was. We will be back. 100% I will tell all my friends with kids to fish Hard Charger.

5 Hour Summer Trip (AM)
Great experience!
Our trip with Andy and Tim was fantastic, especially with kids involved! Right off the dock, they put us on fish immediately and kept the action rolling all day. Their energy and patience made it super easy for the kids to reel in catch after catch, and they made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. I’d recommend them without hesitation; we’ll absolutely be booking again!

Fun trip
We only booked a 4 hr afternoon trip. Captain Tim recommended at least a 5 hr trip to be able to get more fish but we stuck with 4. The bait fishing was fun by itself. We went out 5 miles and did catch fish. I think he brought us out a little further and we caught some more. My son in law snagged a 300 lb 6-7ft Dusky Shark that was truly incredible to watch!!!!!
