Not a good experience, original booked 4 hours inshore fishing trip, but Captain indicated hard to catch any fish for inshore fishing due to the tide, and suggested us to go offshore fishing. We took the advice, and added $130 more to original price for offshore fishing, after about 6 hours offshore trip, we could not catch any fish we can keep, we came back empty handed after paying more money and spending more time. It would be better to describe clearly on the website if inshore fishing is not good with certain time due to the tide schedule, so it will not confuse customers.

Captain didnโt seem the least interested in taking us fishing,ย had excuse after excuse on why he couldnโt take us to different locations.
Wish I could leave 0 stars.ย We live in Jacksonville and fish all areas locally, hecksher, lil Talbot, jax beach, st Augustine, etc.ย We have gone on many charters on vacations for the last several years and thought it would be fun to do one locally, to take us to areas we cant get to .ย Boy were we wrong.ย The capt if thats what you want to call him was late, took us less then a mile from the boat ramp, basically from boat ramp to sand dollar restaurant.ย We could have taken the ferry for a couple bucks!ย Refused to move us, said he didnt โchase fishโ , sir you are a charter Capt that is ur job.ย We moved the boat to areas 50 yards from each location.ย So basically we didnโt go anywhere.ย At the very end he had us casting under peoples docks and yes we c as ought 3 or 4 under slot reds and a Jack.ย He wouldnโt shut up, he talked incessantly,ย and even had a few racial comments towards Asian people.ย I have asked for a refund, but he refuses to respond to fishing Booker.ย STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE! I could go on and on but please it truly was a trip from hell.ย And sadly he didnt have change when he made us pay him b4 we left the docks so he even got a keep thatโฆI feel like Iโve been robbed.

Hi Miss Golde, wow I apologize I had no idea that you did not enjoy your trip! I always do my very best to insure a safe and enjoyable experience for all my guest. Thank you for booking your trip with hooker charters. sincerely Captain Bill
The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
I told him it was my sonโs 24th birthday. He said heโll make sure he catches some fish. My husband was with him. Mike only took to two spots where they stayed. My hubsand and son said he was tired from the previous night hanging out with a bunch of girls on the boat. Kept wanting to go back to the dock. Never saw or caught any fish! Captain didnโt even try. I paid $345.00 + $70.00 tip. I want a refund, so pathetic!
Wow i had no idea.I wish your husband had told me that.I would have not excepted the tip he gave me.thank you Capt.Bill
