    Awesome!! Big recommendation

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    Easy to find a boat on fishingbooker, the reviews and submitted pictures helped find reputable charters. We booked The Rusty Hook the day before. Messenging was prompt. And directions from our resort were clear for our cab driver. We Booked 3/4 day, and dropped in 4 lines immediately as we left the marina. The water was quite choppy as we motored East and after 90 minutes we turned south and it got smoother motoring with the waves but against the current, then we started getting hits. Reeled in 3 Mahi Mahi and 1 Barracuda, lost a couple others. Neo was awesome, busy the whole time setting & baiting rods and trying to rid the lines of sargassum. My brother in laws first time fishing in the ocean. Was totally worth it and fun was had by all. Would totally recommend The Rusty Hook

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Awesome crew, great trip

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM • 3 adults • 1 child

    The guys picked us up right where they said they would and are super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we did not catch anything but they sure tried and explained it all. We did this with our seven year old son and we certainly recommend doing this experience!! Easy to find and super safe. Thank you!

    tough fishing but still great

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    lost on a big bite and also had a dorado on but off at boat. Pulled two trigger fish in that were good sized. Saw a couple large sea turtles as well. Crew kept things ready and kept us informed on what they were doing and why. Always fun to get out on the water!

    Reported catch:
    Gray Triggerfish
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

April got off to a good start with our boat refurbished and back in the water after 5 months under repair. Mixed bag of species this month with a little bit of everything being caught, and some very photogenic fish !
