Captain Blake put us on the Snapper. Houston, incredible job keeping rods ready. GREAT for families, my teenage girls had a blast! Attention to detail was spot on. From the way Houston interacted with everyone, to how the boat stayed clean, to even the way the rods where placed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! THANKS Blake and Houston!!!
I was so impressed with this trip! Capt and Deckhand were absolutely incredible to fish with. The entire day was geared towards us catching the fish we were after! They did an incredible job of working their butts off to try to please us and they did a phenominal job and then some! my son will never forget this day and neither will I! I will be booking again and again probably ever opportunity I can. It was a nice vessel and very accommodating. Fishing wasnt bad either, Ill post pics so that you get a better glimpse 😊
I booked an 8hr trip for my family my 12yr old son 17yr old daughter and her 17yr guy friend and my wife and I! This was the first trip out to sea for the majority of them and knew it was a gamble not knowing if any or all may not be able to handle being out at sea! Capt. Blake and his 1st mate Houston did everything they could to make us as comfortable as possible. The boat had A/C i used it for the hour or so ride to get out to our first spot I took a short nap! When we stopped at the first spot instantly as soon as the bait hit the water we started catching fish. We caught quite a few and after a few hrs couple of our group started feeling a little green but we fished on. I advised the Capt that we probably shouldnt go out much further even though i really wanted to catch at least one big fish I didnt want to risk any of them getting any worse. The Capt took us to several other spots where the water wasnt rolling as much or heck he may have bn controlling it by manuvering the boat! We were still catching fish. We managed to stay almost the entire 8hrs & I told the Capt we could head back in there was no hassle given he said that he understood and gave everyone a pat on the back for sticking it out as long as they did! Afterwards the 1st mate cleaned our catch and gave us a few instructions about keeping the fish fresh! The Mad Hadder and crew are TOP TIER people and awesome to hangout with and chat while fishing. Even got to see a huge sea turtle! If anyone is looking for a great time catching fish with great conversation this should be your first choice. Thanks Captain Blake and First mate Houston for a trip that me and my family can cherish for the rest of our life! Look forward to coming back and fishing with you guys next time we are down in OB!
Captain Blake and first mate Houston are amazing. we caught red snapper, bonito (shark bait), trigger fish (had to return to the sea, they were not in season), and another type of snapper (forget the exact name), just a beautiful time with my wife. can hardly wait to do this again. Thanks so very much for the memories, Captain Blake and first mate Houston.
thank yall so much! it was great meeting yall and ill see yall next time!

Captain Blake was fantastic-Southern hospitality at its finest. We had a wonderful time and the air conditioner inside the cabin was cold and enjoyable. Caught Vermillion Snapper. Our deckhand Houston was knowledgeable and made this trip enjoyable. Will diffently book with Blake and Houston again. Thanks guys for a great time.
