    Amazing family fishing trip.

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore Snapper - 8:00 AM on August 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We booked the snapper trip with Captain Jerry and the trip exceeded expectations! Captain Jerry was amazing with our ten year old daughter, focusing on making sure she had fun while putting us where the fish were. We limited out on red snapper with plenty of time left and pivoted to triggerfish and caught an unexpected jack crevalle along the way. We would highly recommend this charter to everybody, whether you want to focus on fishing or have fun with the family!

    Great first trip with my son!

    5 Hour Trip – Offshore Snapper - 12:30 PM on July 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Had a great day fishing and making memories. Captain Jerry was great and put us on snapper from the get go, and we caught/released well over 20 fish. We even had some luck at the gas rigs to end the day. Jerry is great with kids and very patient, teaching them the ways of fishing. I would highly recommend him as your next fishing charter.

    Best Damn Experience

    5 Hour Trip red snapper on June 20, 2025 • 5 adults

    This was our 1st family fishing experience and Captain Jerry made it a success. It was a short notice trip request and Jerry made it happen seamlessly. We met him at Fort Morgan pier and promptly set off for a 5hr Snapper trip. Jerry took care of us and provided everything. We arrived approximately 9 miles out and immediately started catching Snappers and occasionally other fish. Jerry is a local fisherman and has detailed knowledge of the area. As the bites would drop off he would have us pull up lines so he could move to different spots. As we kept busy pulling in fish Jerry attended to bait, releasing fish and occasionally repairing broke lines. He is easy to talk with. If you are prior military conversations get 10x better. An item to note is his 24ft Blazor Bay. All 6 of us (adults including Jerry) had plenty of room to fish and stay out of each others way. Once finished we set off back to the ramp where Jerry prepped the fish in different manors according to everyone’s request. The whole experience was spot on and I highly recommend Hurricane Charters if you are looking for a smaller private charter fishing experience. I’ll be back for more with Captain Jerry.
