I have always had a love for fishing. I enjoy sharing my passion with others. Teaching people how to fish and watching the joy it brings makes my day. I've been fishing these waters for over 25 years. My best fishing buddies are my wife and kids.

    Captain Pete was great

    4 Hour Fishing – Gulf Offshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    We brought along our 3 year old which was an experience in itself. Captain Pete was patient and understanding as we navigated fishing and entertaining a little one. We were able to catch a wide variety of fish and bring home a great amount to eat. Captain Pete was attentive, knowledgeable, and a joy to chat with during our charter. We would highly recommend Playin’ Hookey Fishing Charters and are looking forward to our next trip out on the water with Captain Pete.

    Perfect day on the water!

    4 Hour Inshore Fishing • 2 adults

    My wife and I booked this relatively last minute and our Captain was great! We had a fish on the boat within 30 minutes of being in the water. On the quick trip between spots we saw manatees and dolphins as well. We caught 6+ species and my wife of course hooked the biggest fish of the day!

    Captain Pete is great!

    4 Hour Fishing – Gulf Offshore • 4 adults • 2 children

    We took our 7 and 10 year old on a 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Pete. We started the trip watching a bunch of dolphins play close to shore and later we saw a giant sea turtle. My daughter said that alone made the trip over the top! We caught a ton of fish and Captain Pete was great with our kids. We caught 5 different species including a couple puffer fish which was really cool. Captain Pete fileted out keepers back at the dock and he recommended a restaurant that would cook our catch of the day. 5 star experience!

    exceeded expectations in every way

    4 Hour Fishing – Gulf Offshore • 4 adults

    I had very high expectations for Capt. Pete and Playin' Hookie. He was not only an excellent guide, but he took care of every detail. We caught far more fish than we were hoping to catch. He is very professional, throwing back many fish that "might have squeaked by in length" with other captains. That was much appreciated. He is also a great guy, and we had fun conversation while we were catching fish. We will definitely fish with him again.
