We were a group of 4 ladies (2 adults and 2 teens), only one of us had really fished before, and we had a blast!  Our captain had us pulling up red snapper the minute we anchored and dropped our lines!  Wonderful full service, the captain took care of everything and we had a ton of fun.  We brought home enough fish to eat for days and even share with some friends.  We’d love to come back and do some more fishing with him again sometime.  100% recommend!

Captain Pete knows the area and we fished 3 different spots off Nokomis beach.  Caught our Snapper limit as well as Sheep’s Head and Grunts.  Didn’t rest for the entire trip as both my son and I kept reeling them in.  Left with 2 full bags of filets!  Highly recommended!

My girlfriend’s father and I took this trip spontaneously just to do something while visiting Englewood! Found “Playing Hookey Charters” through this website and it was the perfect fit for what we wanted. Pete was an awesome captain/ person, he knew his stuff, knew what to throw to catch what we were looking for and kept us on our toes with what we were doing next. He has two options between gulf fishing, and or inshore trips. With that said we did the gulf, and will 100%... More

Captain Pete gave us the best fishing charter experience possible! He saw it was windy and suggested we moved our trip to the next day for better weather. He went out of his way to ensure we had the best time by taking us to multiple locations, taking great photos, and helping us catch a HUGE barracuda! We will definitely be doing this fishing charter again! Thank you Pete!

Great trip second time booking, waves were choppy but you can tell he is experienced at navigating his was through. We like that his prices are competitive and you still get to go out to the Gulf. We caught lots of different types of fish and grilled it up at Captain Eddys. Great guy, great experience, would recommend to anyone looking for a fishing trip! Can’t wait to do it again!
