Hooked Charters
Hooked Charters offers great half and full day trips, fishing the Apalachicola Bay and beyond for top table and game species. Target Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and Mangrove Snapper inshore, or head further out to fish for Red Snapper, Red and Gag Grouper, King and Spanish Mackerel, and even Amberjack.
If you are not so interested in the fishing as in the Apalachicola Bay itself, Captain Dwayne also offers fun sightseeing trips. Cruise the bay for the chance to see alligators, dolphins, ospreys, bald eagles, and the gorgeous scenery and nature Franklin County is blessed with. You will also be able to stop off at the St. George and St. Vincent Islands for a spot of shelling and to explore its beautiful beaches on foot.
No matter what you do, Captain Dwayne's 25' Sea Fox center console is the perfect place to do it. She has plenty of room for up to six guests and features a portable toilet for extra comfort on longer trips. She comes equipped with GPS and fishfinder to sound out the best spots, a livewell to keep your bait fresh, and quality tackle to help bring in even the biggest Bull Reds or Kingfish.
Captain Dwayne is a fourth-generation Florida captain who has spent his whole life fishing and guiding these waters. He loves to share his local waters with guests from around the country and beyond. He will show you how to catch bait and will teach you all the techniques he uses to land the best fish. On sightseeing tours, he will tell you about the local wildlife, sharing his love and knowledge of the local area.
This is the perfect day out for families or friends looking to catch some tasty fish in the unique surroundings of the Apalachicola Bay. All tackle and licenses are provided, so all you have to do is turn up with plenty of energy and your biggest cooler - Captain Dwayne will make sure you fill it!

Had a blast on the water today with Hooked Charters. Between the four of us, we caught about 100 fish, to include Speckled Trout, White Trout, Black Bass, Croaker, Catfish, Flounder, and even a couple Stingrays 😆. Had a few Shark on, but they broke our lines. Fish tacos being served up tonight!
We’ve gone several times with Dwayne and had a great time!
Really enjoyed our offshore trip with Dwayne and Jeff. This was a customer trip and our clients really enjoyed themselves. Hard working, knowledgeable and fun guide that made it one of the best fishing experiences we’ve had in Apalachicola. Will be using him again!
