10th Birthday Blast

8 Hour Sportfishing Trip4 adults1 child

Our lil family of 4 enjoyed our 1st ever Fishing Charter. On our 8 hour tour, the kids had a great time catching King Macrel - Lane Snapper - and Jack of all shapes & sizes. Captain Tony was so thoughtful and his 1st Mate Russ was phenomenal. He knew exactly what the 10 year birthday boy needed to hear and the encouragement to keep him going. We will definitely be using HogTied fishing charter again!

    Amazing trip

    8 Hour Sportfishing Trip5 adults1 child

    We couldn’t ask for a better crew. Tony made sure we had the best and caught a ton of fish. I would recommend them to anyone looking to catch a ton a fish and actually learn how to catch the fish. Also they are great with kids of all ages. Thanks again we will be calling you the next time we are in town.

    Another great trip w/ Captain Tony, repeat customer

    8 Hour Sportfishing Trip2 adults

    Been on Captain To I’d boat multiple times. Great captain, puts you on the fish. We started out our 8 hour deep sea sport fishing trip reef fishing the bottom. Caught 12 red vermillion, grunts and big Trigger fish within 30 minutes of dropping lines. Kept bottom fishing (tried a couple different spots) and drifting bait and chumming, Caught a very large, Mangrove snapper (very mature adult), been fishing these waters for years, mostly during Mangrove snapper season, never caught one. That catch made my trip. The other person in my party, Michael, caught the large Trigger fish (Michael has never been deep sea fishing), a large Baracuda and several nice sized Bonita’s (False Albacore Tuna’s). Trolling was slow but we had a beautiful morning, good temps (overcast good part of the morning) and saw a tom of sea life I recorded: Spotted porpoises, school of flying fish, bait balls galore and I finally landed a sub-adult Barcuda on a planar line. All in all, Tony put us on the fish, never a doubt, they just weren’t hitting our trolling lures rigged with Bonita. Can’t blame the captain for that. Russ, his mate, was OUTSTANDING. Super-Friendly, took great care of Michael and I and was positive the whole trip. Fishing, deep sea, inland, fresh water is not all about just catching a monster, it’s about enjoying nature and the peace of the sea. Tony and Russ delivered that. Thanks again Captain Tony - Greg

    Great fishing trip to cap a week with my brothers!

    10 Hour Sportfishing Trip2 adults

    They were knowledgeable and helpful. They moved us until found fish. Caught a ton of large red snapper… unfortunately we had to toss then back because they aren’t in season. We also caught a large, beautiful dolphin (mahi-mahi) which well keep, and an amber jack, which well also keep. Overall, an excellent fishing trip and a great time with my brothers.

    Catch my dream fish!

    10 Hour Sportfishing Trip6 adults

    My friends and I had a great trip with Reel Complusive! We did a 10 hr trip as we want to troll and not bottom fish. We caught many different species from Barracuda’s, Benito’s and Blue Runners. Later in the trip the First Mate Russ started going nuts and grab the rod. 3 strikes later he got a beautiful Saifish to take. We were able to land him and our entire crew was over the moon! Captain Tony put us on the meat and Mate Russ was the best! he never stopped working to get us in a position for success!
