This was a last minute trip, so there was very little time to setup anything.  The crew had it all squared away when we arrived at 7am and even helped us add two more guests.  The morning started out catching some bait and then we headed out.  We had 3 adults and 5 kids under 15.  All had fished in the bay and 5 or so miles out, but only one had gone deep.  The crew made them feel right at home and took the time to teach them, not just tell them what to do.  We did not waste time in places where the fish weren’t biting and moved on.  Two in our party got seasick (not the crews fault) and they took the time to help them overcome it.

We caught 37 keepers.  We caught dozens of non-keepers and Andy (the mate) was very diligent to safely get the fish off the hook and keep them alive to catch again another day.  I have fished for many years and never seen someone as diligent as he was.

We will be back.  100%  I will tell all my friends with kids to fish Hard Charger.

We booked a trip for 10 with the Hard charger. They did an excellent job. The deck hand worked his butt off for us. They informed us before we left the dock fishing had been a little slower than normal. They were still able to get us in plenty of fish. They made sure everyone was having a good time and lines stayed in the water. Once they saw an area in the gulf wasn’t producing as much as they’d hoped we left for another spot. They’re was minimal down time and they worked to ensure we caught fish and were having a good time. The captain and deck hand were both personable and out teenage boys were having a great time with them. I would highly recommend booking with them. Definitely a solid crew.

We had a great time and caught a lot of fish. We were able to catch and release a shark. Can’t wait to go out again with the boat crew.

This was our first experience on a deep-sea fishing excursion. There were seven of us our deckhand was Andy and our Captain was Tim. They made this experience so memorable for us and our five children. Not only did the kids each catch a fish they also reeled in a HUGE shark! It was an experience they will NEVER forget! Andy was so helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone was able to catch a fish. We will definitely be back!

Had a great trip. Caught plenty of fish and had a blast when we come back to Destin we will be booking with them again
