    Absolutely fantastic huge catches

    6 Hour Shark/Reds Jetty – Channel on September 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    Our guide Trey was fantastic and knew all the best spots and was a fantastic teacher. We saw many dolphins and had several close encounters (of the thieving variety) and from the start we were catching small trout for baitfish with almost every cast. Once we got a hefty supply of bait we moved on to the big fish and after a bit of patience we quickly had 3 massive red drum fish each over 36 inches the largest being 39 and each over 30 pounds. After doing some fun catch and release we got back to the marina and there our fish was masterfully cleaned and filleted. Ultimately a fantastic trip totally worth everything and more.

    Capt. Moe & 1st Mate Clevis

    2 Hour Family Beginners Bay on March 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    What an amazing team! our Capt. & 1st Mate met us at the dock with smiles, professional appearance, excitement, and enthusiasm that was contagious with our 2 adult, and 2 grandchildren (8 & 7) fishing party that lasted through our entire 2hr fishing introduction charter. Within our very short time charter we caught 6 legal size Black Drum, 1 Sheep Head, a very large Blue Crab, 1 Toad Fish, and 2 small Sting Rays. Our Get Hooked crew were kept very busy keeping every pole on the boat baited and in the water the entire time we were on station and we moved around often. We were impressed, we all had a fantastic time, and were pleased with our catches of the day. We will be back!

    Core Memory for Sure

    4 Hour Inshore on June 3, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    The captain was wonderful with my kids. They caught so many fish and had a really great experience all around. The next time were in the area, we are for sure booking again but next time, probably off shore since the kids are comfortable now going on a boat and have more knowledge on how to fish!

    Great first fishing experience

    4 Hour Inshore on June 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    While we didnt catch a lot of keepers, we caught enough to filet and take to the Huli Huli Hut where they prepared it for dinner. This was a fun relaxing way to introduce our son to fishing. he wants to do it again… that’s the best recommendation!
