Hunter Hopman

Member since January 2026 Lake Worth Beach, United States
Background
Capt. Hunter Hopman is your guide to an unforgettable fishing adventure in the waters of West Palm Beach, Florida. The crew will demonstrate techniques such as bottom fishing, spinning, popping, fly fishing, or something unique to the area. For special requests, such as spearfishing, message Capt. Hunter. Capt. Hunter has been working in the charter industry since he was 14 and has a passion for sharing experiences on the water. As soon as he could, at 18 Capt. Hunter got his license to run boats on his own. Today, Capt. Hunter follows the fish and splits his seasons charter fishing in Alaska in the summers and beautiful West Palm Beach in the winters.
Techniques
My favorite way to catch dinner is by getting in the water with the fish. Spearfishing is one of the most sustainable styles of fishing as there is no bycatch. Dropping down on a breath of air free-diving, gives the fish the advantage and you a challenge. If you are Level 1 certified and want to go spearfishing, myself and another guide will safely teach you how to identify fish, handle gear, and spear dinner.
