We had a great time with Capt. Hickman at the controls of El Capitano. He was knowledgeable and very patient with us as inexperienced deep sea fishers. He was where he said he would be and on time. Baited our hooks & cleaned the fish for us. If you get a chance to book a trip with him do it.

One of the best experiences in my life. We booked the overnight snapper trip with El Capitano’s Offshore. The knowledge to catch all the different species was very impressive. We had tuna basically jumping in the boat with the captian’s experience catching with tuna.  The experience was even more exciting since we were catching the tuna at night with the lights behind the boat. After getting worn out catching as many tuna as we wanted, we ventured offshore for deep dropping for yellow edge grouper and tile fish. This was my first time doing this type if fishing. The bite was great and ended up with a few of the Yellow Edge Grouper and Tile fish.

The trip was finished off coming in to shallower water for the grand finally. We caught our limit of American Red Snapper and Gag Grouper with a few Red Grouper mixed in. The overall experience was outstanding and I would highly recommend taking a charter on El Capitano’s Offshore. The captain was prepared with proper tackle and equipment. As you can see in the pictures, there was no shortage of fish!! The captain and crew are very professional and made this a fun learning experience.

Charters are a dime a dozen, but if you want to experience a day on an awesome boat with a truly skilled captain who can teach you a couple things, this is the guy.  Chad has a great personality, and can teach even skilled fisherman some new tricks.  He has the spots and the techniques, and the boat to get you there and back quickly and comfortably.  We killed groupers and yellow tail, and I’m planning to book a trip for hogs and mangos next.

We took a half day, morning trip.  Captain was great; nice boat!  All six of us caught fish!  Highly recommend!!!
