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!
We brought along our 3 year old which was an experience in itself. Captain Pete was patient and understanding as we navigated fishing and entertaining a little one. We were able to catch a wide variety of fish and bring home a great amount to eat. Captain Pete was attentive, knowledgeable, and a joy to chat with during our charter. We would highly recommend Playin’ Hookey Fishing Charters and are looking forward to our next trip out on the water with Captain Pete.
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.
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!
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.

I have always had a love for fishing. I enjoy sharing my passion with others. Teaching people how to fish and watching the joy it brings makes my day. I've been fishing these waters for over 25 years. My best fishing buddies are my wife and kids.
