Capt William is great. Found a lot of fish and made sure we knew how to land them.
I’m looking forward to going with him again.

We met our captain (Tyler) at the docks, and we were off. We had a short stop to gather up some live bait fish and then headed out to fish for Lane Snapper. We caught as many as we cared to keep, it then our captain asked if we wanted to go try for something bigger.

We headed out further, 8-9 miles out, and tried for Cobia, Tyler was dead on once again. We had a great time and caught many fish, sometimes we had both of us fighting a fish at the same time. We caught one keeper and threw the rest back. 

I cannot say enough good things about Capt. Tyler he was very helpful and a truly nice guy. I know we will gladly book a trip with him again when we’re back in the area.

Also, the equipment was in great shape, from the boat to the fishing tackle, I feel like anyone would have a great experience.

I can’t thank Capt. Tyler and Capt Andrew enough! We took our three girls (8, 9, and 11) out not just fishing for the first time, but offshore fishing for the first time as well. From the beginning Smokin Hooks was super responsive to questions, and took feedback for what we wanted to accomplish for the trip. The captains asked what we wanted to try for and I asked about trying to land a shark as my youngest is obsessed with them and the hammerhead is her favorite. Well guess what we caught, a hammerhead! She was so excited. We hit several spots so the kids could do some catch and release, we ended up with some keepers as well. Finally we went looking for a barracuda and sure enough, landed a huge one!

Captains Andrew and Tyler were super patient with the kiddos and gave them great instruction on how to do things. Really great guys. If you are looking to book a charter and especially with the family, I highly recommend Smokin Hooks.

Want to make your trip really special? Book a fishing trip with Smokin’ Hooks! We had a 4 hour morning trip which was our first deep sea family fishing trip with Capt. Tyler and Andrew and it made our family memories we will keep for a lifetime, along with some trophy fish pictures and bragging rights, and enough fish for dinner tonight! Tyler and Andrew were knowledgeable and personable and made this trip fun for grandparents and tweens alike. I can’t say enough nice things about this crew and our trip, I highly recommend this experience if you are looking for an amazing fishing trip!!!

Had an incredible day on the water with Captain William. We caught many fish, and he took us too many locations. Boat was fantastic. Tackle was top notch. Highly recommend. Also, their customer service was incredible. Communication from their staff was amazing. Really made the trip easy to plan.
