Codi Weter5.0Verified5 hours of greatness!
5 Hour Trip on June 21, 2020 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe went out today with our 2 kids(6,11) Captain Nick and his deck hand Stephen were absolutely amazing! Not only did they put us on fish. Steve went above and beyond to help our youngest catch some fish and have an experience he will never forget. He also worked with our oldest and helped him get some fish in the boat. This crew was very patient with us and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great time. We highly recommend them!
Michael Caswell4.7Verifiedfirst time fishing the Gulf.
5 Hour Trip on November 2, 2022 • 3 adults • 1 childWas recommended by previous charter that had to cancel last minute. The caption of Southern Hooker was able to get us on fish and we had a blast fishing with deckhand Nebraska (was able to learn a lot from him).
Randy ThorntonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAfternoon Bottom Trip
6 Hour Trip (PM) on July 26, 2022 • 4 adultsHad a great afternoon trip with Capt. Nick and Eric. Great guys and they kept us on fish all afternoon!
Kerry Jenkins5.0Verified6 hour trip with CAPTAIN NICK
6 Hour Trip (AM) on September 7, 2020 • 5 adultsAbsolutely the best trip we have been on yet, the deckhand Cody was amazing and our captain was fantastic! We had some rough waters today and they managed to put us on the fish and make our trip very memorable not to mention we caught our personal biggest keeper fish yet! Thank you much and we can’t wait to go fishing with you guys again!
Bradford Simon4.7Verified5 hour Fishing Trip
5 Hour Trip on July 9, 2020 • 5 adults • 2 childrenThis was a great trip. The only regret that I have is that we didn't book a longer trip. We had some rough waters to deal with and a storm coming in that ended our trip a little early, but that was no fault of the crew. Southern Hooker is a family business and they do a really good job with kids that are fishing for the first time. It was a lot of fun and we'd definitely book with them again.
Nicole WilsonRepeat angler4.7Verified10 hour trip with Captain Nicholas.
10 Hour Trip on October 22, 2021 • 6 adultsAwesome trip! Captain Nicholas took us to areas where fish were located and Dewayne was great at helping us! Would definitely recommend them and will be back to fish again on the Southern Hooker!!

James Ransom5.0VerifiedHad a great time!
8 Hour Trip (PM) on June 26, 2020 • 2 adultsAwesome boat with a fantastic crew. Will definitely be using them again in the future!
David Allen4.0VerifiedSeptember fishing trip
6 Hour Trip (PM) on September 9, 2020 • 6 adultsHad a great time. Was put on fish several times and had a great day and a great catch that we enjoyed the next day. We went in September and there were a bunch of biting flies that followed us out to sea. If you're going later in the year and the flies are out, I would recommend wearing some long pants and shoes so you're not dancing while trying to real em in.

Couldn’t have asked for a better Captain a deck hand. We caught a bunch of Bonita and some Mahi trolling . Unfortunately the weather had been bad all week bad tides, moon light was terrible all week just a rough week for anyone.Captain Nicholas did everything he possibly could to put us on fish. Great Captain knows the area well a knows what he is doing couldn’t ask for more.But we weren’t the fondly people having a tough day on the ocean. The deck hand worked his tail off staying busy the whole day he go places in life he is gonna be one that you hate loosing but love watching succeed. Next time the family and I are in florida definitely found our permanent fishing with Southern Hooker. Can’t wait to go back out with Captain Nicholas again
Captain had us on fish all day! We limited out on red snapper and caught several other vermillion snapper and white snapper! The triggerfish were biting like crazy, and we unfortunately couldn’t keep those! First mate Colby was awesome as well! He made sure the trip was enjoyable and we constantly had bait on our hooks! Would definitely go out with these guys again!
Thank you! It was a pleasure to take you fishing, and we hope you’ll fish with us again!
Great trip. Full moon night before so fishing wasn't great but we managed to catch about 12-15 keepers. Captain and deck hand were great. Cabin could've been a little cleaner. Go to use the head and there was just a bunch of junk visible to us. Not appealing to someone who's spending that kind of money for a fishing trip. Makes you wonder if this is how they care for their belongings then how reliable will the boat be? But all in all it was a great trip.

It was an absolute pleasure to take you fishing! We hope to see you again soon!
