Luckily we found Hank to be our captain for this unforgettable ocean excursion. He is very knowledgable and familiar with the spots both inshore and offshore. We caught around 60 fish in a 6hr trip and released the majority of it and only took several great catches back for christmas dinner. We also hook two sharks during the trip however got our lines broke during the fight, one of them might be 100lb+, which I fought it with my daiwa baitcasting reel and bfs ultra light rod. It was definitely a great time and will for sure go back to Hank next time. Oh, by the way, even though I sounded like an AI chatbot during the fight with shark, mubbling between I guess it’s a shark and It’s definitely a shark, this review is wrote 100% from a robust human writer, not a random AI generated review with high temperature. Most importantly, don’t treat the frog fish like your mother in law, it is the   best fish ever I tried with silky texture meat, definitely worth a try!

I went on my first private charter in St Pete with Hank and what a great experience i had. To start the boat was spotless, the fishing rods and equipment was top notch. Hank gave me some options on what to target and suggested that we head straight out to a few of his favorite reefs. This would be our best bet for good results. Trust me when a captain gives a suggestion for best results, listen and i am glad i did. We caught over 50 key west snappers , 2 spanish mackerel, one triple tail and a real nice 15 pound gag grouper. We also got broken off 4 times on big fish. Oh in case i didn’t mention earlier i went out solo. Thats what happens some time you win and some times the fish get away. When i come back to the area i will definitely book him again. Thank you for a great day on the water.

Been fishing long enough in Florida to know it’s all about weather, temperatures, and time of year. So first week of August with choppy seas is less than ideal. Captain Hank told us conditions might make it hard, and had to deviate from the original plan. But he would try his best to get him back n some fish. We started pulling the fish up within 10 seconds of the first drop and didn’t stop. To top it off, I got to see my dad pull in one of his bucket list fish, a Goliath grouper. Reccomend 100 percent. And will be booking again to target some bucket list fish in the future. Also give a good shout out to hanks 14 year old son. Very respectable young man and we also got to seee him catch his first Goliath.

Great experience for my four teenage sons. Captain Hank checked in the day before, warming of less than ideal conditions and offered a full refund. I declined knowing they’d still love the experience. They caught some sheepshead and Hank cleaned and bagged them up for them. They had a great time and enjoyed the whole 3-hour trip amd said it went too fast. We will be back. Thanks!
