Awesome Trip with Hooligan Sportfishing

4 HOUR HALF DAY TRIP4 adults

Caught lots of fish… Our family of 4 had a wonderful experience with the Captain Danny! He did a great job with our teenagers. We caught all type of fish we wanted and he directed us to a resturant to have them cooked up for lunch. It was the best fishing trip we have ever been on and we plan to book again next time we are here!

    Great trip in the Gulf

    4 HOUR HALF DAY TRIP - 12:00 PM4 adults1 child

    Took at trip with Captain Dan out on the Gulf side for some Mackerel and Snapper fishing. Took off from their house and from the minute we got there we were impressed. The ride out to the first spot wasn't rough and didn't take too long. Despite not landing any Mackeral at the first spot, my kids, 12 and 14 had a blast jigging and getting a few bites. Those suckers hit hard and we would have loved to catch more, but you can't make the fish bite! After that we took a small ride over to the second spot for Mangrove Snapper. Before we even put the chum down we were catching Snapper on the frozen shrimp. Being from the North, these fish were fun to catch. We caught a bunch of Snapper, Ladyfish, Jack Cravalle and even a few Mackerall. Despite the imperfect fishing conditions, we all caught a bunch of fish and had a great time. Back at the house, Dan filleted our catches for us and we came home with more fish meat than we could eat in the week. Highly recommend!

    Overall great experience

    8 HOUR ( MAHI, TUNA or SAILFISH)2 adults

    Did a full day offshore trip with capt Sal. His boat was a little aged but the motor was brand knew, and the hull is well renowned for handljng both inshore and offshoe conditions. He has a vast level of experience and knew all of the spots to go to, and knew the proper techniques to catch at each spot. If a spot wasn't productive he pulled lines and moved on. We ended up with our limit on blackfin tuna, and brought back several yellow runners and yellow tail snappers. He fileted the fish back at the dock and gave us recommendations where to go and who to ask for to have an incredible meal made with our fresh catch, and also recommended a local company that we could package, flash freeze, and ship the rest of the filets back home (close to 10 pounds worth!!). In between catching, he kept the day fun with story telling and also documented the day as we went with pictures and video, and sent it to us that evening, both raw footage and an edited version set to music. Very happy overall! Thanks Sal!

    Captain Danny was amazing!

    6 HOUR (MAHI, TUNA or SAILFISH)3 adults

    Everything about our day on the water with Captain Danny was great! He had so much knowledge and knew the spots to catch fish. My 16 & 14 year old boys had a day they will never forget. He was hoping we would have caught more fish-apparently it was a slower day. We all caught quite a few fish, so I would love to see what a ‘good’ day is! We will be back👍🏼

    Snapping up the snapper in the keys

    4 HOUR HALF DAY TRIP3 adults

    We had a great time with Capt. Dan. He put up with us old guys and put us on the fish. Once we figured out the proper way to catch the targeted Snapper, it was game on with great action. Dan also recommended a spot to have our catch cooked and prepared that same night. It was a feast for all and the wives thought it was outstanding. I know I speak for my 2 buds who joined me, we really enjoyed our time on the water for 2 -4 hour trips with Capt. Dan . Thanks Sal
