Fantastic half day trip backcountry fishing with Capt. Sal. Beautiful day on the water. He put us right on the fish with lots of action. Very informative about the area and the fishing! Capt Sal was very friendly and made our first fishing trip in the keys special. Hope to come back again to try the tarpon! Highly recommend giving Hooligan fishing a try!
