Was a little confusing finding the dock but called Captain Hank and he guided us to him. Super friendly and nice to hang out with. Knew his fish and even had one of them shark suckers suck onto the palm of his hand. We went five miles out then came in to three miles then fished under the bridge near the dock. To me, I caught many fish. For my son this was his first time fishing in the ocean. He did catch several fish after a slow start and stated he had a lot of fun. I booked the trip mostly for the experience for him. We caught enough fish to have some nice filets for dinner later. We had a great time and would recommend Captain Hank and Deep Color Fishing. Thanks Captain Hank for a great time.

We had a wonderful time fishing with Captain Hank. He was really good with our sons, aged 10 and 13. This was our second trip with him. On our way out to fish, we were escorted by dolphin and had a drawbridge close over the boat as we passed underneath. The fishing was pretty good. We caught grunts, spanish mackerel and a kingfish. Amazingly, the ocean was so clear that we could see to the bottom - 35 ft deep. The area we were fishing in was like an aquarium. We saw a Goliath Grouper and an Eagle Ray along with a multitude of other fish. It really was like looking into a aquarium. We would recommend Captain Hank to anyone interested in a fishing charter. Make sure to get his recommendation on restaurants to cook the fish afterwards. We couldn’t eat everything we caught but we tried!

Hi Peter, thanks for the review. Sorry the conditions made the bite as tough as it was that day. As you know, the weather was rougher than we had hoped for, which forced us to fish in protected areas. Still, I wish I could have been able to put you on better fish. This is by far, my worst review ever, and I take that seriously. I do thank you for booking me, being a pleasure to fish with, and even the tip. I did try my best. I am sorry you didn’t have a better experience.

My family and I vacationed in Treasure Island, FL this year and decided to book a deep sea fishing trip for a first time experience. After searching and reading reviews, I decided to go with Captain Hank Valencia. It was a great decision! The trip was just AWESOME. We caught several types of fish, and Hank was quick to know the type and details of each species we caught. Everything you need is provided for this trip, you only have to bring yourselves! Captain Hank was a very kind gentleman and even baited the ladies hooks. We fished the reefs and the bay and even got to see some stingrays. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had on vacation, and I would highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Hank!

We had a great 1/2 day trip with Captain Hank. Neither of us had ever fished in the ocean before. He took us to a spot where he had been having very good luck recently. Every single cast, we had bites. The fish were tricky and were really good at stealing the shrimp, and us not being able to hook them. But it was non-stop bites. We caught about 10 keepers, and had another handful that were just a little too small to keep. The captain was great and had all the gear we needed, as well as a cooler for us to use for snacks and drinks. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Would definitely recommend his charter.

Capt Hank was excellent with the kids too, and even allowed them a chance at the helm. What an amazing experience. We will definitely come back next year and book with Deep Color Fishing!!!!!!

Awesome trip! Boater a ton of fish despite the moon phase making fishing slower! If we weren’t all catching good fish it was on to the next area! Kept us on fish the whole trip. He even let my 5 year old son drive the boat which made his day. It was an awesome experience and we will be back.

Great trip. Weather was awful in the gulf so we reduced our 6 hr trip to 4 hr and fished the intercoastal. We caught our limit on snappers and also caught a stingray which was quite a challenge. I would recommend captain Hank and will charter him again in the future.

We hit several spots anywhere from 2 - 6 miles out. Caught quite a few fish, just not a lot of good sized ones. Seems like every big fish we had on broke off! Had a lot of break offs today, not just from big ones. But we were fishing around a lot of rock. Saw a giant Goliath Grouper (about 400 lbs) and caught a really nice Barracuda. Enjoyed our days catch for dinner @ Captain Bills restaraunt. Great call Capt. Hank, best meal ever!

I took my dad on a half day fishing trip for an early father’s day present. Captain Hank obviously can’t help the weather… as soon as we left the dock, it poured rain on us. We ducked under a bridge to get out of the rain and caught some red snapper, catfish, and snook while we waited for the rain to lift. Captain Hank offered a refund if we wanted to call it a day due to weather but said if we wanted to wait it out and give it a shot, he was in it with us. The rain lifted and we took off. We fished a few cool places including one spot several miles out. We didn’t catch a whole lot, but that was obviously due to the weather. Captain Hank can move around that boat fast and always had a pole ready for us. He kept us fishing and when they stopped biting, he moved us to the next place. Will definitely try again with him next time we come. Hopefully less rain and more sun! Bottom line… Captain Hank is a cool guy that knows his stuff and will work his tail off to keep you fishing and catching! We went home with an awesome dinner too!

Captain Hank was very professional and knowledgable. Unfortunately we were unabld to go in the Gulf due to high winds several days in a row, so we fished the Bay and it was pretty eventful. My wife and I took our fathers for an early Father’s day present and they enjoyed the experience and Captain Hank.

Fishing with captain Hank was enjoyable. My son and I booked this as it was our first trip in salt water. Once we set up he had us on the fish. We caught fish pretty steady. Once it slowed down we headed out to a reef to try for flounder. No luck there but we had already had enough for dinner. I would fish with him again.

Great trip!! Capt. Hank was great and fun. We pulled in a 9 Pompano, 2 Seatrout, 3 Sheepshead and 5 Flounder (plus a bunch of misc. fish that was under the size limit). Capt. Hank cleaned and bagged the catch when we were done. I would recommend this trip for anyone who wants to catch some fish and have some fun in the sun.

It was a tough day. High NW winds kept us close to shore and in the intercostal. But we caught fish, and had a great time with Capt Hank! Fish tacos for lunch. (What we caught btw) Awesome! Thanks Hank!

Wonderful trip! Capt Hank was more than we’d hoped! We had tried booking with another boat, they did not get back to us, so Fishing Booker recommended this one. Great Choice! We are going with Capt Hank again on our next trip and will recommend him to everyone!!! thanks so much for the day, and helping my brother in law catch his first ocean fish…he even caught the biggest one!

My dad, friend, brother and I had a great trip with Captain Hank. When we weren’t catching anything, we moved into a school where we caught one almost every drop-down/cast. He quickly took off fish and put on bait and even cleaned and bagged our catch. I would highly recommend this charter service and will be contacting Hank in a few months for another trip! -Keith Neibarger

Very professional and captain always made sure hooks were baited and everyone was catching fish. When area was not producing a lot of bites we moved around to find a better spot. And the kicker he fillet all the fish we kept and bagged for taking it home.

This is the best fishing charter around. Thanks to captain Hank and the Deep Color Crew for the best fishing experience ever. He’s serious about his work and makes sure everyone has a fantastic time. His boat is super clean and puts you right on the fish from the start. We caught tons of fish like grouper, snappers and especially the King Mackerel (Kingfish). We caught a monster King Mackerel that weighed in at 33 lbs and 46 inches long. I highly recommend Captain Hank and Deep Color Fishing for all of your fishing needs. Get ready captain Hank!!! We’ll definitely be back for more fishing trip here soon!!! thanks for everything!!!

I met up with a couple high school buddies we went out for a day of fishing the weather was beautiful the boat is really nice and Captain Hank really knew where to go for the fishing. we cought a bunch of fish even though it was after a major storm and the gulf was kind of turned up. Most of the fish werent as big as we had hoped it but the gulf is pretty shallow for miles and miles out so it’s pretty tough to get bigger fish that we caught. We got some snapper and grouper and all in all it was an awesome day
