Had an amazing time on this fishing charter! The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip a blast from start to finish. The vibes were great, everyone was having fun, and they made sure we had an awesome experience on the water. Whether you're experienced or it's your first time fishing, I'd definitely recommend booking with him!
thank you ma'am for the awesome review it was a pleasure taking you folk out.
Amazing fishing trip with Captain Brad Hardy! Professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. We caught plenty of fish and had a great time on the water. Highly recommend booking a trip with him. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend.
This was the first time taking my daughter out fishing on a boat. She loves fishing, Captain Brad was very helpful and make fishing for a newbie easy! We found a spot where we caught over 10 fish. Thanks for a quick and easy trip! It was a highlight of my daughters trip!
thank you for choosing us.
Captian Brad was awesome with my 10 year old son catching fish. It was a relaxing trip catching large mouth bass. If in the area we would gladly book a trip with him again. We also found out he does saltwater fishing as well.
Thank you folks for choosing Hooked on Hardy Guide Service. We hope to see you again soon.
started off at different location than planned. day started off slow, but once we moved to another location the flood gates opened. Caught 16 largemouth bass, including one over 5 pounds. will recommend hooked on hardy to anyone, have another fishing charter already booked for later in the year
