I was looking around for charters to take my friend and I for the best fishing trip ever and came across smokin hooks with the best captain Brian and his mate Kyle got us hooked up on a Spanish mackerel within the first 15 minutes. Not only are they a good team they know how to coach you how to reel in the fish and let you experience for your self reeling in a big fish! We caught about 7 king fish and a tuna got on the line when we were going back to shore. Also It was also fun catching the small bait fish to catch the big kingfish!. They play music and get into it once you get a fish on the line which makes it exciting unlike some other charters where they will just sit back and let you do your thing. Not like smokin hooks they have top of the line gear and know exactly what they are doing. After we got back kyle made us filet from the king fish and tuna and let us bring home as much fish as we wanted but we had to much to feed my family I gave them some back. I highly recommend smokin hooks fishing charter and will definitely come back to him to send me out on the ocean again. Captain and brian and kyle know there shit.

Awesome 4 hour offshore fishing excursion!  Brian and Blake were very knowledgeable and helpful with both the beginners and the more experienced fishermen in our group of 4. We were catching fish within the first few minutes of reaching our destination. We caught 20 in total which they cleaned and fillet for us to take to the Fish house to have prepared for lunch! Would definitely recommend!

The three of us did a 6 hour trip with captain Brian and his assistant. Boat was ready to go and comfortable for the 3 of us at our departure time at 8:00.  We had lines in the water very soon thereafter and were pulling in the fish!  Captain Brian and team made it all seem so easy for us as guests. I know a lot of work goes into a trip such as this, but all we did was fish and enjoy the boat, sunshine and water. Brian and team made it all so easy. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot while having all that fun. From the time I booked the trip to watching them filet our fresh caught fish,  the communication / experience was excellent and first class.  We look forward to booking with Brian again and having a similar experience.  He’s a pros pro!

Had a great time. Captain Brian and First Mate Zach worked really hard to make this a memorable trip. We started catching fish as soon as we hit open water while we were trolling. We got an extra adrenaline rush was two dolphins began following us and were trying to eat the fish we had on line. It was a real work out trying to get the fish on board before the dolphins got them. My wife lost one and in the third picture above you may be able to see where they got a taste of this Spanish Mackerel near the tail. We left the dolphins behind and went out to deeper water where we continued to catch fish on the bottom but there were too small. We went back to trolling and caught a few more. We left with some nice fish for the cooler. Brain and Zach were very friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable all day.  They were both very knowledgeable and explained a lot about Gulf fishing. Thanks Smokin Hooks.

Bite wasn’t great but Captain Brian and his mate did everything possible to put us on the fish.  Equipment was first rate, boat was awesome and we ended up with enough fish for dinner.  Wouldn’t hesitate to go out with this charter again.
