Family fishing trip

6hr American Red Snapper trip3 adults

What a fun and beautiful two days out fishing with Hooker Charters & Guide Service! 🌊☀️ The ocean was calm, the weather was perfect, and Captain Bill worked hard to keep us on the fish the entire trip. Everyone caught fish, which made me happy BUT you know what made me ecstatic? I caught the MOST and the BIGGEST fish! 🤭🎣 💪 The boys were good sports about it. I tried not to rub it in too much. Kaden caught the only trigger fish of the trip, and Jon? Well, he caught a sunburn. ☀️🔥🤣 So many laughs, memories and salty ocean air. These are the kind of family days I’ll hold onto forever.

    This was a great trip our family will always remember!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 6 adults

    We had a great trip with Captain Bill! Me, my wife, and our 4 boys had been planning this trip for months. Captain Bill didn’t disappoint. We caught 10 flounder with 7 of them being keepers. As well as several other fish that we ended up throwing back. Including a 50 pound manta ray that I fought for 30 minutes and finally landed. Thanks again for a great trip and memories we will never forget!

    great captain

    Half Day Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    Me and my son took a trip to Jacksonville to drop off a few things and since we was going we was going to make a day out of and do some fishing. I booked with Bill because his prices was cheaper and since I was looking for a half day. The departure hours fit my schedule. once I made reservations I got a message that he would call me at 4. When we got to the boat he went over 3 rules, and rule 1 and 2 was don't hook the captain. He was exciting to try out the new Garmin fish finder and put us on a lot of fish. We ended up catching 9 sheep head.

    best offshore trip ever.

    8 hr American Red snapper trip • 6 adults

    Best offshore charter I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend. I love the hands on approach of letting people bait their own hooks and get the fish off the hooks for experienced anglers. Definitely puts you in the fish. Capt Bill was just one of the guys on our trip. Highly recommend. Just hope he has availability when I’m ready again. Thanks Capt from the 6 of us.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you very much Zinn for going out with me! I hope the guys have all recovered well. I hope you all enjoy the multiple species of fish we caught for your cookout. I look forward to going out again soon! Thanks again Capt.Bill

    3/4 Day Trip

    3/4 Day Trip Nearshore/Offshore • 3 adults

    Captian Bill was absolutely awesome. Hes a great teacher and he had us on the fish from the very beginning and kept us on them the entire trip. We caught a large variety of fish and even got to take home two keepers, that he fileted and packaged for us to take home! I would highly recommend this charter.

    Great Captian

    3/4 Day Trip Nearshore/Offshore • 2 adults

    my wife and I did a six hour trip with Captain Bill and had an amazing time. from catching fish to knowledge of ship handling a 10 out of 10 experience. I would recommend to anyone that’s wanting to catch fish. I want to gain knowledge of seamanship and an easy person to work with.
