We booked with Chad for the afternoon while our cruise ship was docked at Cape Canaveral. A quick Uber ride took us to the dock where Chad was ready for us. My husband fishes often, but I’d never cast a line in my life. Chad did an excellent job teaching me and providing helpful tips for my husband as well. He took us to several fishing spots and we each caught a bunch of fish of different varieties. Chad was friendly and shared his knowledge of the area while we fished. He was so gracious as I was learning how to cast. He provided cold water to drink, but I recommend bringing sun screen as you’ll be out in the Florida sun. We highly recommend Chad to anyone looking for a fun fishing day for any skill level.

We hired Chad as our charter while vacationing in Cocoa Beach. Right from the beginning, he proved that we made the right choice by choosing him on Fishing Booker. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and personable. He didn’t rush us when fishing and wasn’t worried about the clock. He was more than willing to beautifully fillet the fish we caught after we were done on the water. When we return to Cocoa Beach, we will DEFINITELY be booking with him again. He provided a great service and allowed us stress free fishing in several different spots. It was as if you were fishing with a life long buddy rather than a random stranger. If you want to have a great experience fishing in Port Canaveral, then book with Chad!

We booked a fishing trip with Captain Chad during a port stop on our cruise, and even though the bite was slow (thanks to the bait shops being out of live bait), we still had an amazing time. Chad kept the vibes fun and the conversation flowing the whole time. My wife swears she almost hooked a monster, but I kept reeling a couple fish in while she caught… a puffer fish! 😂

What really set this trip apart was Chad’s hospitality. He didn’t have to, but he drove us straight to the boat ramp that was right next to our cruise which was super convenient and stress-free. If you’re looking for a laid-back, memorable fishing experience with a captain who knows his stuff, the area and keeps it fun no matter what, don’t hesitate to book with Captain Chad. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in port!

I booked a last minute trip with Chad Hedrick Fishing Charters. Let me tell you that we hit it off immediately. I ended up catching several species to include sheep head, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Mutton Snapper, Mango Snapper, and a 34-inch Snook! Captain Chad knows his stuff. He can accommodate a party of three, but he’s perfectly suited for two or even a solo fisherman. We met as a client and business owner, but left as friends. I’m more than happy to recommend your next fishing trip with Chad Hedrick Fishing Charters.

Had an absolute blast! My fiancé and I went out on a 3 hour inshore trip and had so much fun. We hit a couple different spots and caught a good amount of fish. Ended the day with a great black drum which was perfect! The captain was super fun to hang around and was very personable and easy to get to know. Knew a ton about the area and was a great time to be around. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to go out and have some fun fishing!
