Captain spotted a hammerhead shark following a live bait. He said that it was only 20# test line. Could fight it for a long time and never get to see it. He quickly rigged another line with stronger line and leader. While getting that new line and bsit out there behind the boat, he was also reeling in the other lines away from the shark. The shark took the bait on the selected line and was brought to the boat. The captain was ready to detach the anchor of the boat and hang it on a buoy, so we could chase the shark, but didn’t need to. It was said that 5 footers are relatively common, but a 10 footer is special.

Brought my family of 4 from Houston, TX to celebrate my birthday. The weather was bright and sunny with very mild wind, current was tough for sure. Captain Alex did a variety of fishing technics including trolling, bottom fishing with desd and live bait along with kite fishing, which was new to me. He tried his best to put us on fish but unfortunately the targeted fish (Mahi- Wahoo) were not around. We did catch a 9ft Nurse shark which made a great picture and good action for sure. Also caught a few smaller sharks and a mutton snapper that unfortunately had to go back.

I would recommend this trip! Specially if this is your first time going out there with your familiy.

Unbeknownst to me, I had used Good Hit Fishing a few years ago when my cousin was in town.

I realized this as I received communication the day before on where to park and what dock our boat would be on and saw our previous text thread. We had a killer time that day so I was excited for what Saturday’s fishing day was going to be.

The weather was PERFECT. Super calm and flat and just the right amount of sunshine. We were greeted with Captain Ran and we were off at 8am for some fishing.

There was 3 adults and my 9yr old son fishing on Saturday. I was a little nervous as this was my son’s first time fishing on a boat and not just on a dock where he could come and go as he pleased. But Captain Ran took care of my hesitation. He let my son drive the boat through the no wake zone leading out to the ocean and my son thought that was the coolest. It was a great ride and we got to share our previous story of catching a sailfish and mahi and hoping for another go at it. We also learned more about Captain Ran too and some of his stories.

We hit our first trolling area and Captain Ran let out the rods. We were lucky to have a constant string of Bonito fish and had some good reeling! My son was super excited and we love the initial adrenaline of hearing a line run.

We also had 2 decent size barracuda and a big king fish we were able to have filet and take home to cook for lunch.

Captain Ran was very tentative to my son and teach him ways to hold the rod as well as pulling up and reeling down method. It was a great day and we look forward to booking another trip come November when the sailfish and mahi are running again.

Had a good size fish shake the hook off about half way in, right out of the gate. I. aught 5 fish, same kind. Forgot what they were but I gave them up to use for bait. An 18 year old kud caught a 40” baracuda, which was really cool. This is the 3rd time I went out with these guys and I will seek them out and go again next year.

Captain Pete was amazing, super knowledgeable, helpful, and entertaining. He definitely knows what he’s doing and knows how to catch fish. Well worth the money and definitely an experience I’ll never forget! The boat was very well kept, super clean, and comfortable. Would recommend Captain Pete or Goodhit Sport Fishing to anyone.
