Fun Family Fishing Trip!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing4 adults1 child

This was our first time charter fishing on HHI. Capt. Buddy was an excellent fisherman and guide. He brought us to a favorite fishing spot, and he explained about the different fish species and various fishing techniques. We caught a sea trout (released due to just undersize), whiting, and a good size black drum. It was a windy day which made it a bit tricky for fishin', but Capt. Buddy perservered and we tried to catch bigger fish, but the sea was not in our favor. Capt Buddy cleaned, fileted and bagged our catch of the morning. A great time had by all! Highly recommend Capt. Buddy's charters! We will definitely hire him again! The best!!

    Great 2 hour trip

    2 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (3PM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Went out with captain Jay, everyone got a shark on, and it was my 4 yo daughters first time fishing. Captain Jay was great helping her and letting her reel. He absolutely made the trip worth it overall, conversational, knowledgeable, and a great angler for sure. Was worried about having a 4yo and a 2yo on the boat but that was immediately quelled getting out there, and everyone had a great time. Would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone looking to get kids into it, or on the water in general and interacting with aquatic life.

    Amazing Deep Sea Fishing Trip

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore • 6 adults • 1 child

    I highly recommend this deep sea fishing trip. Captain Jay was so attentive and ready to bait our lines as soon as we needed. He was so quick and knowledgeable. We would have loved to catch some Spanish Mackerel but did not have the opportunity to. We did, however; catch 2 bonnethead shark, 4 trout, pinfish, croaker, whiting and threw back a spade fish, toadfish, sheepshead, and a few others. We must have left the boat with 6 larger fish and maybe ten small fish. Not only was the trip fruitful, but it was extremely fun. We were even provided with a recipe for our bonnethead shark to make tacos! Thank you Captain Jay for an amazing time!

    Safe, Professional, Knowledgeable Captain

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing - 11:00 AM • 4 adults

    Definitely book Captain Buddy! He was literally the best captain of a fishing charter I have ever had. Been fishing in Ft Lauderdale and many Caribbean spots and he was the best hands down. He will adjust to your skill level and impart local fishing knowledge to Mae your trip perfect. He was very prompt and provided 2 straight days of excellent service and a really fun time for me and my teen boys. Very safe and professional but still a lot of fun. This is guy you want to Captain your charter and to hang out with for a few hours. Can’t wait to do it again! Thank you Buddy!!!

    Great Fishing Excursion

    6 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore • 3 adults

    Started out a cold and windy morning so was unable to fish near shore or out in the open sea due to small craft advisory. Captain Jay did a great job of finding up inland water way fishing spots and we had fun catching many varieties of fish including several king fish that we took home. We all had a great time and will do this again in the future.

    Great family outing

    2 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (3PM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    Listen, you can’t always guarantee fish, and Capt Jay did everything he could to get that big one to bite. Unfortunately it didn’t, but we did get smaller bites. The fish here are SMART! We had a ton of nibbles, several lost ones, a broken line, and some bait thiefs, so they were there. Overall, it was such a great time, short of a little sea sickness, (also not avoidable at times), sorry Jay! We loved the boat, your company and your determination. We’ll be back, except this time with some Dramamine. :)
