Mad Hatter
Mad Hatter
Whenever you feel the need for an exciting offshore fishing adventure, Mad Hatter is here to take you right where you need to be. Join Captain Blake for a day and see what sportfishing is all about. Capt. Blake has been exploring these waters long enough to know all the best spots in the area and he'll take you to some of his favorite ones. You can join no matter what your skill level is - whatever you need to know about landing a trophy, you'll learn it right here.
The trip takes place on a 43' Hatteras that accommodates up to 6 guests. This spacious vessel was refurbished in 2022, and it's powered by twin 400 HP Detroit 6v92 engines. The boat has all the comfort you'll need for a long day on the water, such as a private toilet, an enclosed cabin with AC and TV, and a cooler. You can also rely on modern navigational electronics to take you where you need to be.
The techniques you'll most likely use are trolling, bottom fishing, and deep-sea fishing. Some of the species that can end up on the other side of the line are Red Snapper, Wahoo, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and more. One of the best parts is that, after the trip, the first mate will clean and bag your fish for you to take home!
All fishing equipment and your licenses are covered by the captain. You'll need to bring your food, drinks, and sun protection.
It all starts with booking a trip with Mad Hatter. Come down a rabbit hole and start your adventure!

I booked an 8hr trip for my family my 12yr old son 17yr old daughter and her 17yr guy friend and my wife and I! This was the first trip out to sea for the majority of them and knew it was a gamble not knowing if any or all may not be able to handle being out at sea! Capt. Blake and his 1st mate Houston did everything they could to make us as comfortable as possible. The boat had A/C i used it for the hour or so ride to get out to our first spot I took a short nap! When we stopped at the first spot instantly as soon as the bait hit the water we started catching fish. We caught quite a few and after a few hrs couple of our group started feeling a little green but we fished on. I advised the Capt that we probably shouldnt go out much further even though i really wanted to catch at least one big fish I didnt want to risk any of them getting any worse. The Capt took us to several other spots where the water wasnt rolling as much or heck he may have bn controlling it by manuvering the boat! We were still catching fish. We managed to stay almost the entire 8hrs & I told the Capt we could head back in there was no hassle given he said that he understood and gave everyone a pat on the back for sticking it out as long as they did! Afterwards the 1st mate cleaned our catch and gave us a few instructions about keeping the fish fresh! The Mad Hadder and crew are TOP TIER people and awesome to hangout with and chat while fishing. Even got to see a huge sea turtle! If anyone is looking for a great time catching fish with great conversation this should be your first choice. Thanks Captain Blake and First mate Houston for a trip that me and my family can cherish for the rest of our life! Look forward to coming back and fishing with you guys next time we are down in OB!
I was so impressed with this trip! Capt and Deckhand were absolutely incredible to fish with. The entire day was geared towards us catching the fish we were after! They did an incredible job of working their butts off to try to please us and they did a phenominal job and then some! my son will never forget this day and neither will I! I will be booking again and again probably ever opportunity I can. It was a nice vessel and very accommodating. Fishing wasnt bad either, Ill post pics so that you get a better glimpse 😊
Captain Blake and first mate Houston are amazing. we caught red snapper, bonito (shark bait), trigger fish (had to return to the sea, they were not in season), and another type of snapper (forget the exact name), just a beautiful time with my wife. can hardly wait to do this again. Thanks so very much for the memories, Captain Blake and first mate Houston.
thank yall so much! it was great meeting yall and ill see yall next time!
made to feel very welcome. great 6 hr trip. very understanding/empathetic when one of our party became seasick. captain Blake May and his first mate were topflight.
Captain Blake put us on the Snapper. Houston, incredible job keeping rods ready. GREAT for families, my teenage girls had a blast! Attention to detail was spot on. From the way Houston interacted with everyone, to how the boat stayed clean, to even the way the rods where placed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! THANKS Blake and Houston!!!
