Come to St. Petersburg, Florida, and treat yourself to a true fishing adventure with Playin' Hooky Charters. Captain Adam Homan has been fishing his entire life and loves sharing his passion for fishing and has what it takes to make your trip productive. His experience and knowledge of Florida waterways help him put you on the fish.

Your journey will take place on a beautiful 27’ Cape Horn Center console originally built in 2021. The vessel is spacious enough to accommodate all passengers while they are fishing. The fishing boat is equipped with all state-of-the-art electronics, tackle, and safety gear. With her powerful twin 200-horsepower Suzuki engines, she gets you to fishing grounds quickly—so you can spend more time on the water.

Whether you spend a lot of time bottom fishing or trolling (sometimes) depends on the kind of trip you choose. Bottom fishing along the coast is a great way to catch lots of different reef fish. A typical charter can catch between 10 - 15 different species. The most common fish on the 4 - 6 hour trips include the following: grey snapper (grunts) porgies, trigger fish, sand perch, lane snapper, small red, gag and scamp grouper, black sea bass, Spanish mackerel, puffers and many other species. The trophies include Goliath Grouper, King Mackerel, Bonita, Great Barracuda and a variety of sharks ranging from 6- 8 feet! Heading further offshore (10-12 hours trips) enables you to catch a greater variety of fish including, mangrove snapper, blackfin tuna, red grouper, amberjacks and red snapper along with other reef snapper.

The charter (can) include snorkeling equipment for all guests if you plan on doing a little shelling and island hopping after a couple of hours of fishing. We will head to Egmont Key or Shell Island. The captains will be happy to accommodate any special requests you may have. You are welcome to bring your children, as there's a life jacket for every size.

The fishing tackle you’ll use is all high-quality equipment made by Penn, FinNor and the big Reels Eat My Tackle. The charter will clean and fillet your catch at the end of each fishing trip, so you can enjoy a delicious meal upon returning home.

Come and spend an idyllic day with Playin' Hooky Charters exploring a marine wonderland, where you can test your strength against some of the sea's famous giants.
