Hooligan Sportfishing is a premier guide service dedicated to delivering unforgettable backcountry fishing experiences in the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys. Whether you're casting a fly on shallow flats, drifting live bait for elusive Tarpon, or poling through mangrove creeks in search of snook and redfish, we offer a wide range of techniques tailored to your preferences and skill level. Our custom fishing platform is designed for performance and comfort, and we equip every trip with top-of-the-line gear to ensure you’re set up for success.
At the helm is Captain Sal Gozzo, a seasoned guide with over 35 years of charter fishing experience across three states—New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida. His deep knowledge of the water, patient teaching style, and passion for the sport make him a trusted professional for anglers of all backgrounds. From first-timers to seasoned pros, every guest receives personalized attention and expert guidance.
We also take great pride in offering family-friendly charters, especially for young anglers just getting started. There's nothing quite like seeing a child hook their first fish, and we love being part of those lifelong memories. When you book with Hooligan Sportfishing, you’re not just going fishing—you’re joining a tradition of fun, learning, and connection on the water.
