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!

I had a fun time fishing with Capt. Peter. I wanted to target Barracuda and he guided me do just that. We caught a variety of fish while jigging for blue runners to use as bait including a small shark and a LookDown fish which I had never seen before. Then we trolled for cudas and had 7 hits. What a rush when they hit your bait! They definitley are a fighting fish which was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Capt Peter for a fun day and I look forward to more trips with you!

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!

Playin’ Hookey Fishing Charter is the best fishing in trip and Captain I have been on in the Gulf. My grandson who loves to fish was catching a fish on each cast for over an hour. I have fish to feed myself, grandson and my neighbors!
