Lou Hocker, Captain at Prowler Fishing Charter

From his early childhood days spent on the water with his father and grandfather, Captain Louis has been immersed in the world of fishing, a tradition that has been passed down through generations of his family. This deep-rooted love for the sport is evident in every aspect of his charter service. Captain Louis takes immense joy in sharing his expertise with guests, finding great fulfillment in witnessing the delight of those who join him on the water. His own two sons have been fishing alongside him since they were toddlers, fostering a family tradition that has only deepened their shared passion for the sport.


Aboard the impressive 42’ Hatteras, you and up to five companions will find all the comforts needed for a smooth and enjoyable day at sea. This state-of-the-art sportfishing vessel is equipped with top-notch amenities to ensure your time on the water is both comfortable and productive. You can relax in the spacious cabin between fishing sessions, enjoying the serene beauty of the ocean and the thrill of the hunt.


The fishing opportunities on this charter are as varied as the waters themselves. Whether you’re aiming to catch the smaller, but equally exciting species such as Spanish Mackerel, Black Seabass, and Redfish in the shallows, or you’re ready for the challenge of battling larger game like Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and Amberjack in the deeper offshore waters, Captain Louis and his experienced crew will guide you to the best spots to achieve your fishing goals.


Prowler Fishing Charter is designed with families and children in mind, offering a welcoming environment where the focus is on having fun and making memories. While the charter does not permit liquor on board, you are welcome to bring along canned beer, and smoking is restricted to the outdoor areas of the boat. The first mate, who works for tips, is dedicated to ensuring that every moment of your trip is enjoyable and fulfilling. A customary gratuity of 20% is greatly appreciated for their hard work and excellent service.


 Prowler Fishing Charter offers an array of fishing trips that cater to different interests and preferences, so be sure to review the various options available and reach out to inquire about the best times of year for different types of fishing. Don’t miss this opportunity to join Captain Louis and his team for a memorable day on the water!

Highly recommended!

I recommend these crews!

October 17, 2024

The crew was absolutely fantastic! Maria made sure we all felt at ease and shared a wealth of knowledge about bay fishing techniques. Although the fish weren’t biting as much as we’d hoped, Captain Louis was incredibly accommodating, letting us experiment with various fishing methods to ensure we at least caught a few fish. In fact, they even stayed out longer than planned to give us one last chance at trolling. We truly appreciated their dedication and expertise throughout the trip!

The captain and crew went above and beyond to make our fishing trip special! The captain was incredibly customer-focused, even adjusting our departure time to fit our schedule. Our first mate was outstanding, providing a thorough pre-launch briefing, explaining the fishing gear and techniques, and helping us with our initial catches. Throughout the day, she kept us engaged with fascinating information about the local area, the fish we were targeting, and the boat itself. She also shared great tips on how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Both the captain and the crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to delivering top-notch service.
