Great Fishing Charter

4 hr Fishing (AM)- Gulf offshore on November 5, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain Pete gave us the best fishing charter experience possible! He saw it was windy and suggested we moved our trip to the next day for better weather. He went out of his way to ensure we had the best time by taking us to multiple locations, taking great photos, and helping us catch a HUGE barracuda! We will definitely be doing this fishing charter again! Thank you Pete!

Awesome day of fishing off Nokomis!

4 hr Fishing (AM)- Gulf offshore on August 2, 2025 • 4 adults

We were a group of 4 ladies (2 adults and 2 teens), only one of us had really fished before, and we had a blast! Our captain had us pulling up red snapper the minute we anchored and dropped our lines! Wonderful full service, the captain took care of everything and we had a ton of fun. We brought home enough fish to eat for days and even share with some friends. We'd love to come back and do some more fishing with him again sometime. 100% recommend!

Capt. Pete is a great guy!

4 hr. Inshore fishing on May 17, 2025 • 2 adults

My girlfriend’s father and I took this trip spontaneously just to do something while visiting Englewood! Found “Playing Hookey Charters” through this website and it was the perfect fit for what we wanted. Pete was an awesome captain/ person, he knew his stuff, knew what to throw to catch what we were looking for and kept us on our toes with what we were doing next. He has two options between gulf fishing, and or inshore trips. With that said we did the gulf, and will 100% be doing the inshore next time just to try it out. Highly recommend!!!

Great trip, professional captain

5 hr Fishing (AM)- Gulf offshore on August 31, 2025 • 4 adults

Great trip second time booking, waves were choppy but you can tell he is experienced at navigating his was through. We like that his prices are competitive and you still get to go out to the Gulf. We caught lots of different types of fish and grilled it up at Captain Eddys. Great guy, great experience, would recommend to anyone looking for a fishing trip! Can’t wait to do it again!

Great Day Fishing!!!

4 hr Fishing (AM)- Gulf offshore on June 16, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

We had an awesome day fishing with Captain Pete! We caught a variety of fish and saw a couple of sea turtles along the way. Our daughter was so happy with the groupers she caught. He was kind enough to filet our keepers when we returned to the dock and the snapper and flounder were delicious!! We highly recommend Captain Pete!
