Captain Pete is great!
4 hr Fishing – Gulf offshore on April 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children
We took our 7 and 10 year old on a 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Pete. We started the trip watching a bunch of dolphins play close to shore and later we saw a giant sea turtle. My daughter said that alone made the trip over the top! We caught a ton of fish and Captain Pete was great with our kids. We caught 5 different species including a couple puffer fish which was really cool. Captain Pete fileted out keepers back at the dock and he recommended a restaurant that would cook our catch of the day. 5 star experience!

exceeded expectations in every way
4 hr Fishing – Gulf offshore on April 16, 2026 • 4 adults
I had very high expectations for Capt. Pete and Playin' Hookie. He was not only an excellent guide, but he took care of every detail. We caught far more fish than we were hoping to catch. He is very professional, throwing back many fish that "might have squeaked by in length" with other captains. That was much appreciated. He is also a great guy, and we had fun conversation while we were catching fish. We will definitely fish with him again.

Best Monday Ever!!!
4 hr Fishing – Gulf offshore - 1:00 PM on April 6, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child
Captain Pete was great! Great with my elderly dad and my 8 yo son. First cast was “fish on” within seconds, and it got better from there!! Species caught: lane and mangrove Snapper, King Mackeral, pork, grunts, sheepshead, grouper, jacks, puffer, and a few others! Pete cleaned them at the dock and Cap’n Eddies fried them up within the hour. Will be back!

Captain Peter made the whole trip very enjoyable.
5 hr Fishing (PM)- Gulf offshore on April 15, 2026 • 3 adults
He had tremendous knowledge of fish species, their habitat and local regulations. His boat is very sound, clean and equipped with everything we needed. We caught 50+ fish, grouper, grunt, mackerel, puffer, sheepshead, blue runners, snapper and at 29lb cobia (this was unusual so don’t hold him to it!) but it made for a great dinner.

Went on captain Peter’s boat today with some friends and it was great, a lot of first time catches for me,king mackerel, mangrove snapper, grunts, grouper and sheep head. I’m very familiar with fishing but this is great for people who are experienced or just starting out, he’s very helpful and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
