Immediately put me on Tarpon. Just couldn’t connect on the fly…but that was on me. Another 2 dozen within feet of the boat. Lotta laughs and great conversations. Time flew by… Looking forward to booking another trip with him!
knew where the fish were away from other charters which made it a much better experience. would highly recommend taking a trip with this captain.

ty so much for your kind words much appreciated
Even though the weather was tough Captain Sal put us on fish and made the entire family feel welcome on his boat. I would recommend Hooligans highly.

tyvm Corey for your fabulous review it is much appreciated. Had a great time fishing with you and your kids. Come back and see us again. Safe travels back home.
