    Great captain, great fishing, great time!

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Fishing on August 31, 2026 • 5 adults

    Dave was a great captain and made sure everyone on the boat had a great time. He’s an experienced captain and fisherman who knows how to put you on the fish! We caught Vermilion Snapper, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Triggerfish, and Grouper. He even took the time to stop so we could watch some dolphins! We had five adults in our group, and everyone caught several fish. It was a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Dave and H&H for anyone looking for a great fishing trip!

    Awesome Trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Fishing on April 1, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had a great time. Dave was amazing! Took us to several spots that were all succesful. We caught triggerfish, red snapper, vermillion snapper, and spanish mackerel. Then we caught “bait fish” to fish for amberjack. We had three kids and three adults and everyone had a great time. Additionally, we heard many stories about the area, the buildings, and the artificial reefs. Dave has been doing this for 30+ years and it definitely shows. Will definitely call Dave again when we come back next spring break!
