Hook Um Fishing Charters 

Listen, save your time, stop price shopping (their rates are reasonable), and book with these guys. We could not have asked for a better experience. This is a high character captain and crew, authentic local folks. We were originally booked for a Monday but on the Saturday before our charter, Jaime saw that the conditions were going to be unfavorable so he proactively reached out to us to see if we wanted to move our charter until later in the week on Thursday. He sacrificed his opportunity to make more money with someone else booking that day, this is really all you need to know. They are only interested in you having an enjoyable and memorable experience. We are an avid freshwater fishing family, fishing is fishing, some days the moon, barometer, wind, weather, and bite aren’t in your favor. Booking a charter doesn’t entitle you to catching a marlin, mahi, and sailfish in 4, 6, or 8 hours, no matter how experienced or accomplished the captain. Everyone plays in the same conditions the day of your trip and while impressive, Ted Williams still struck out 27 times the year he batted .406. Be reasonable. Your experience is up to you, but these guys will do all they can for you. I myself dream of hooking up with a marlin, sailfish, and mahi, but wahoo and barracuda were “in season” and running at the time. We were fortunate and hit a couple schools of wahoo and had some good fights. We lost a couple and sharks also took care of two more, that’s fishing. We had about 45 minutes left, already a wonderful day on the water, and asked if we could bottom fish real quick to see if we could land a nice grouper. This meant a fair amount of work for Danny and Mitch “Brownie” but they obliged, and within 15 minutes we landed seven smaller fish which included two grouper and a barracuda. Once back to the dock, Brownie cleaned our fish and we took them to Margaritaville adjacent to the dock to eat later that evening (you only pay for sides and drinks). The chef prepared the wahoo blackened, grilled, Bahamian, and fried the grouper (I wish I’d have taken pictures). Wahoo is delicious and our catch was more than our family of four could eat, so we shared with a neighboring table, made friends, and it was the perfect ending to a day we won’t forget. Thank you Brownie, Danny, and Jaime!

Captain Jamie and first mate Danny were amazing. We did a 4 hour trip with a little trolling and some reef fishing. Caught a couple decent barracuda and spanish mackerel and some other small fish my wife called her bait fish. They were both fun to talk with and gave us highlights of the area. We wasnt looking for quantity just wanted to catch a few picture worthy fish for us. We wasnt interested in keeping anything but could have. I would use and recommend them to everyone.

What a great crew, Danny and Chris took good care of us! They even filleted the fish we caught for us! They were accommodating and helpful for all ages. From my 9yr old who was so set of fishing, my 14 year old who just wanted to snorkel and my father who needed some mobility help! They made it work for all of us! We caught 6 or 7 fish on the reef and had a few good bites in deeper water. We snorkeled and saw the pigs! It was a great experience.

we left the dock at 7:45 & we caught our 1st of many at 8:00. The Captain put us right on the fish & 1st mate, Andrew, did an excellent job!! we brought catch back to Margaritaville, cook them & we had fish tacos for a party of 6. very satisfied

Our family of four had a great time. The captain and crew worked hard to find and catch fish on what started as a slow morning and ended with tired arms from reeling in lots of fish.
