Ratings & Reviews Summary
December 26, 2024
I went on a fishing trip with my 12-year-old son and Captain Ryan. It was an excellent outing with plenty of excitement - we managed to reel in redfish, black drum, trout, ladyfish, and jacks. We even had a thrilling encounter with a large tarpon that briefly hooked onto our line before leaping out of the water and escaping. This happened during the beginning of the tarpon run, adding a touch of excitement to our experience. Captain Ryan put in significant effort to locate productive spots and was consistently attentive, assisting with fish removal and ensuring a fresh supply of bait. The boat itself was well-maintained, offering a 360-degree fishing area. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, I highly recommend a fishing trip with Captain Ryan.

Captain Ryan's extensive river knowledge ensured an exceptional experience as he consistently guided us to abundant fishing opportunities. Beyond the fruitful catches, Captain Ryan generously shared his insights about the river, prime fishing spots, and effective techniques. My successful haul included impressive specimens like snook, tarpon, jack, and several speckled trout—approximately 8 or 9 in total. Though a handful of sizable catches proved elusive, contributing to thrilling "quick releases," the trip was undeniably fantastic. Opting for Hooknreel was a rewarding decision; I wholeheartedly recommend them for those seeking improved angling skills, enjoyment, and a fruitful fishing venture.

Captain Ryan is incredibly approachable and possesses a wealth of local knowledge. His patience stood out, especially when I encountered multiple instances of getting my line tangled in trees. Despite being in the "off season," preventing us from keeping our catches, the experience was truly enjoyable. Chartering a boat for the first time, I strongly advise against any hesitation. Both Captain Ryan and his boat are highly worthwhile. We're eagerly looking forward to repeating the experience soon, with Captain Ryan as our clear choice.

I enthusiastically endorse booking this fishing charter! Captain Ryan is an excellent leader who guided us to successful catches. We had an amazing time and are eagerly anticipating our next outing. If you're seeking an unforgettable experience filled with fishing and camaraderie, don't hesitate to consider Ryan and the HooknReel fishing team!

Exceptional inshore fishing adventure. Put us on fish right at dawn. It took us a little time to master the art of hooking them, but eventually, we found our rhythm and had a successful outing. The highlight was when my granddaughter not only landed the first catch but also reeled in the largest one of the day. A thoroughly enjoyable experience for all of us!

The captain arrived punctually, displaying courtesy and professionalism throughout the excursion. He accurately gauged when the fish were less active and swiftly relocated us to a new spot where the action resumed. Captain Ryan proved to be an excellent guide, ensuring a memorable experience, and we look forward to returning for another trip.
