Southern Hooker Fishing Charters
“Southern Hooker Fishing Charters” provides ultimate bottom fishing in the bountiful waters surrounding Panama City Beach! Captains Nick Eyles and Robert Markham are in charge and work hard to make sure you have a memorable fishing experience in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hop aboard a 41’ Hatteras, a classic sportfishing vessel, ideal for exploring offshore waters. She’s the ideal choice for up to 6 anglers who all want to cast from the large deck at the same time. She’s equipped with the latest in marine electronics, including GPS and Fish Finder, and even has a full toilet so you won’t have to make any stops.
Whether you’re trolling or bottom fishing you’ll definitely want to strap into the fighting chair to reel in the big ones! We’re talking Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and a variety of delicious Grouper and Snapper. Captains Nick and Robert both have federal fishing licenses so on longer trips you’ll explore productive waters up to 50 miles out.
The crew works hard to make sure you have a good time and provide all of the gear and live bait you need for a successful day. If you’re happy with the service, a 15 to 20% tip is customary. Bring along any drinks and snacks you’d like to enjoy and feel free to store them in the onboard cooler.
Reap the rewards of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico aboard Southern Hooker Fishing Charters!

June fishing trip
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!

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.

We 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!
