The water was calm and the boat ran great. The boat did not have air conditioning but luckily it wasnโt too hot. Nick the deck hand told us the fish was finicky and he was correct. Listening to nick and the captain I did catch a huge red snapper. We only caught the one huge snapper. If we wasnโt catching fish the captain would move to another spot. Sometimes he would pull up on a spot and circle around and then take off. Seemed like we did a lot of riding instead of fishing. We did not catch a lot of fish but overall it was an ok trip.

We are sorry that we could not get our AC repaired in time for your trip, but the new unit was delayed in shipping and out of our control. The captain was working hard to put you on fish that would bite as the bite has been extremely slow in July due to the storms. With 50 years of experience, our captain can tell if a spot will produce fish, and he doesnโt hang around to waste time if the bottom machine shows little promise.
This was a great trip.ย The only regret that I have is that we didnโt book a longer trip.ย We had some rough waters to deal with and a storm coming in that ended our trip a little early, but that was no fault of the crew. Southern Hooker is a family business and they do a really good job with kids that are fishing for the first time.ย It was a lot of fun and weโd definitely book with them again.
We will be ready to take you out again, and we hope the weather cooperates the next time. It was a pleasure to have you on the Hooker!
We cannot say enough good things about our trip with Southern Hooker Fishing Charter in Panama City Beach, Fl.. The entire experience was โoutstandingโ!!! The fishing was great, because the crew knew where to go for best potential (if the fish are biting or not, this part is not controlled by the Captain and crew of the boat) and the patience โNickโ showed with my wife and 2 daughters was above and beyond. Very cordial crew that only had our best interest in mind and they did everything they could do to make the entire experience what we had hoped it would be. I actually fished twice with them and outstanding experience each time. I highly recommend this for any fishing excursion a person may be looking for!!!
Great job and a sincere โThanksโ to the entire gang at Southern Hooker Fishing Charters in Panama City Beach, Fl.!!!!!!
