We had a great trip with Hound Dawg Charters, even with rough seas. Captain Rick handled the conditions with confidence and kept us on fish throughout the day. While we didn’t catch anything huge, the action was steady and the group had a great time. Garren, the first mate, was a standout—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with gear, bait, and anything else we needed. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and clearly run by a team that knows what they’re doing. If... More

The captain and mate were incredible, knowledgeable and put us on a lot of fish on a tough day where I saw other boats catch 7 or less…....we caught 26 and perfect eating size dolphin!!!

Even though the seas were quite rough and the fish didn’t want to cooperate fully both Captain Rick and 1st Mate Garren did everything they could to give us a truly amazing experience. My son was so happy catching what he could and just being out on the water taking it all in. Captain Rick is so experienced navigating the waters and finding the best spots to fish while Garren taught us so much not only about fishing techniques but also the water and surrounding area in general. Thank you Hound... More

The guys onboard “Hound Dawg Charters Islamorada” know how to catch fish! When the sailfish weren’t biting, the guys put us on the some Tuna and a 70+ lb Amberjack!!! Wow.  Great time and great success.  😊
