I am Captain Mike Murtaugh a certified (USCG 6 Pack OUPV License) operator. I run a 29' Ocean Runner CC with twin Suzuki 200HP motors. This boat has everything to suit your fishing needs offshore. I've been fishing the local waters for 20 years and decided to operate a charter business after retiring from a career in the fire department. I've fished the majority of the local KDW tournaments and have placed well and even won overall on many occasions. Come join us for a great experience offshore! Thanks, Capt. Mike

    Amazing Trip with Capt. Mike!!

    3/4 Day Trip • 5 adults • 1 child

    First time going with the whole family and Capt. Mike just did an amazing job. He was early and met with us offering to help with our stuff. He was knowledgeable, funny, and overall a really cool person. Everyone felt comfortable with him in less than 10 min (even my shy 12 ye old brother). We caught a good amount of fishes and saw some cool sharks and sailfishes along the ride. Was a windy day but he really went above and beyond showing us how to handle the rods and teach us about the tricks to find fishes. Would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a good time. I know my family would book again. Thanks Capt. Mike!!

    Response from Captain

    Back at ya! Thanks very much! You have a great family… cheers. Hope to see ya again…

    Great memories made!

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    Recently, we embarked on an offshore fishing charter with Hooklesslure that exceeded all of our expectations. The experienced and knowledgeable captain, along with the first mate, ensured a seamless and enjoyable trip. The spacious and well-equipped boat added to the overall comfort, making it a perfect setting for a memorable fishing experience for our group. The captain and crew's responsiveness and attentiveness to our needs showcased their dedication to customer satisfaction, and we didn’t go empty-handed (our catch made for the best fish tacos). The trip was not just about fishing; it was an excellent blend of great fun and engaging conversations. The positive vibe throughout the excursion made it an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend this charter for a fantastic offshore fishing experience.

    Reported catch:
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)

    Who needs a hook with Hooklesslure

    3/4 Day Trip • 5 adults

    Absolutely awesome 3/4 day with Captain Mike & Mate Johnny. From the moment we arrived they greeted me, my sons & nephews with enthusiasm & helped us unload from the parking lot to to the boat. Ontime push off from the dock & connect for live bait on the way out of the inlet. Don’t believe NOAA forecasts will always ahead accurate… those were not 2-3 ft seas… but Capt. Mike & Johnny kept an eye on everyone and kept us all engaged. Boated as many as we fought & lost-Blackfin, Mahi & King… and of. Course the Cobia at the boat… that one still hurts. Would definitely do it again with HooklessLure next time I plan a getaway with the boys.
