My wife and I had a fantastic time.

May 31, 2025

Everything was easy and hassle-free with Hank from start to finish, and the fishing was fun! We had a short boat ride to the reefs and stopped at many great spots. I don't think I went longer than two minutes without taking a bite of some type. There are a ton of interesting species, and many are tasty as well. We chose to save what we could and did enjoy doing so!

We had a great day on the water with capt hank and his first mate havi. The wind was calm so we headed off shore about 6 miles to do some reef fishing and did great!

May 31, 2025

Captain Hank gave us an incredible day on the water! He was ready for all kinds of Fish. From grunts to Barracuda to permit. Will definitely be going with Deep Color Fishing again!!

Would highly recommend fishing with Hank. As he is very knowledgeable and personable. Me and my son are avid fishermen, and we were very impressed with Hank's determination to cater to the customer. Hank put us on to many great fishing spots as we caught many fish. My son caught a barracuda. And I caught a Hammer head Shark. It was a great experience from the great boat ride to Hanks great music selection. Hank went out of his way to make sure that our trip was unforgettable.
