What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Bay Pines, Florida for the first time?

Not with Capt Hank or fishbooker. Fish booker keeping 25% of trip cost with nothing going to Captain/boat seems a little steep. Captain Hank said he didn’t get any of the deposit that fishbooker keeps it all??? Thats a little steep IMO.

Biggest piece of advice, watch the moon phases. What hurt us was the fact we have had a full moon the last night or two, along with warm waters made for lazy fish during the day.

Just enjoy the day and experience of fishing the reef with Captain Hank. He knows the reefs and will put you in the fish.

With cacpain Jason I would tell them to expect a great time...we had exellent weather and calm seas which made it even more perfect and Captain knew what he was doing

Didn’t get to fish in bay pines. Changed meeting point to Crisp Park and it was terrible.

Morning trip it was hot morning was the best I can’t imagine being out in the heat of the day!!!

Weather didn't cooperate, but we were still able to fish inshore and have a great time.
