Guide was transparent about when fish were biting and recommending we change from a morning trip to an afternoon trip.  Was a bit apprehensive due to the afternoon heat but we are glad we listened to him.  We caught LOTS of fish - redfish, trout, lady fish and of course - catfish.  We had a great time and enjoyed a wonderful meal that night!

The captain and boat were great. He was very knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure we caught something. The only downsides were that we booked an offshore trip, but the water was too rough to go into the gulf. We also didn’t catch much that we could keep, just one redfish, both things are out of the captain’s control though and everyone at least caught something and we had a great time.

Had the opportunity to catch lots of fish and learned more than what I came with! The guide had a good sense of humor with lots of spots even with coming at not such a good time! Worth every minute! 110% would book again especially would do it just to try and catch BIGGER!!

If any of you guys want to have a good time fishing this is your guy! Captain Mason and Brady were excellent with our 5 and 9 year old. On the first cast we caught a fish and that was just the start of a great day. Waves were a little larger than forecasted but he was able to accommodate us by moving closer into shore and we still had a great experience. Afterwards we took our catch to be prepared at Hunt’s on St. Joe Bay.

Captain Mason is one super cool dude that knows his stuff. He put us on fish all day long. We had a fantastic time caught fish and hooked up often. Book a trip with 9 Hooks Charters with peace of mind. We highly, highly recommend ! 💥💥💥🥊
