Took my 10yo son and uncle out with Capt Artie and had a great day.  Caught a ton of bull reds, along with trout and black drum.  Probably landed ~30 fish (11 of which were bull reds).  It was a very busy day. Capt Artie had great spots for us to fish and had a wide range of baits to change to as we targeted different fish at different points.  He did a great job of keeping the trip enjoyable.  Even when we had some of the larger fish wrap around all of our lines (twice), he was good...

My father (74), my son (12), and I booked a 3.5 hour charter with Capt. Artie. He worked hard to put us on fish, and did his level best to keep us in the action as much as possible. We caught a lot of small fish (croakers, pinfish, and even a puffer), and a couple keepers. One keeper black drum, and one redfish that was just barely large enough. Capt. Artie was great, coaching my son on casting, hook setting, and all the basics! We had a great time, and would highly recommend him. Next time, I... More

Me, my fiancé, my little brother (15) and his friend (15) booked a first time trip. And did it exceed our expectations.  We had an awesome trip! He worked hard to get us to catch a lot of fish. We caught two small black drum and one red drum which was a keeper and a huge trout! We caught A LOT of croakers and pin fish. He helped us bait our hooks and helped the boys learn to cast. Overall we had a great time and will definitely do this again with hound dog charters. Thank you Captain!

We took a 6 hour fishing trip we had both experienced and a first time fisher with us. Artie immediately put us on a spot where we caught fish. He has such a great attitude along with his knowledge of the water and what is biting. By the end of our trip he had helped the one with us that had never fished before where she was fishing on her own and catching. We will most definitely be taking another trip with Captain Artie!!!

High Winds, Low Tide, And Cool Water Temperature. Despite Those Challenges, Captain Artie Phillips put us on the fish! I highly recommend Hounddog Fishing Charters, and look forward to my next fishing trip with Captain Artie!
