It was an amazing trip and great experience. Captain was really good at what he does and very helpful with fishing tips. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Captain Bill was amazing! He’s very enthusiastic, and a great teacher. We had a great time and will definitely be booking with him again. 11 out of 10!!

Captain Bill put us ON THE FISH repeatedly over a three day extended trip. We left from Mayport, Fla. and ran out about 18 miles to spots Capt. Bill had previously marked on his GPS. As soon as we hit bottom we started getting bites! We were catching mostly Black Sea Bass; many were undersized, but there were many keepers. We also caught quite a few Red Snappers, all of which had to go back :-(. The automated trolling motor kept us on the spot until the fish stopped biting, so we moved to another hot spot. As a bonus, the weather was fantastic; I have never seen it so calm offshore.

Captain Bill has extensive knowledge of local conditions, both offshore and in inland waters as well as techniques and equipment. The boat was clean and well equipped and we didn’t lack for anything.

You can find bigger and fancier boats and captains, but for the money Captain Bill and Hooker Charters is the BEST!!
