Book with Rick Hilliard Jr.
Embark on a maritime adventure with Weird Water Charters, where the seasoned sea commander, Capt. Rick Hillard Jr., takes the helm in the mysterious waters of Oak Hill. A master of the tides, Capt. Rick beckons you to cast your line into the abyss, promising an encounter with the ocean's most formidable denizens.
Within the aquatic realm of Oak Hill, a realm ruled by Capt. Rick's expertise, lurk the majestic Redfish, elusive Snook, formidable Tarpon, and the cunning Speckled Trout. These waters teem with a diverse array of marine life, from the resilient Sheepshead to the elusive Flounder, ready to test your angling prowess. Capt. Rick, a virtuoso of the sea, provides an arsenal of fishing techniques, whether you favor the art of spinning, the finesse of jigging, or the allure of specialized methods.
For those seeking the thrill of fly fishing, Capt. Rick extends his expertise, promising an airborne dance with the aquatic elite. Families are not merely tolerated but warmly welcomed aboard the 18' Beavertail skiff, a vessel captained by Rick himself, capable of accommodating up to 2 passengers. Safety is paramount, with life vests for the little ones and a provision of snacks to stave off hunger-induced grumpiness.
Capt. Rick's vessel is not merely a boat; it's a mobile arsenal. Rods and reels, lures, and live bait are all at your disposal. The charter even covers your fishing license, leaving you with nothing but anticipation for the impending adventure. Special regulations guard certain species; seek wisdom from the captain if uncertainty clouds your piscatorial ambitions.
As you set sail, don't forget your essentials: sunglasses to shield your eyes from the blazing sun, bottled water to quench your thirst, and non-spray sunblock to armor your skin against the ocean's radiant embrace. And for those seeking a more spirited voyage, Capt. Rick permits moderate libations—just be mindful of the oceanic spirits.
Capt. Rick Hillard Jr. awaits your call, ready to weave a tapestry of excitement and conquest on the canvas of Oak Hill's waters. Plan your odyssey now, for adventure beckons, and the realm of the Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, and Trout awaits your angler's prowess!

Rick's familiarity with the fishing grounds is beyond impressive. Even under less-than-ideal conditions, he managed to lead us to some incredibly enjoyable catches. His professionalism, wealth of knowledge, and amiable personality make the entire experience a pleasure. I'm eagerly anticipating the next opportunity to go back!

Rick put me on a few good size snook in a very short amount of time. My biggest was 3ft and it fought like hell! Had a great time. Rick was very knowledgeable and knew the water very well. Will definitely go back again!

Embarked on a fishing excursion on March 16, 2023. For an outstanding day on the water, consider booking a trip with Rick! His expertise in the area is evident, and he consistently strives to ensure a successful fishing experience. I encountered a challenging situation when a fish swam through a fallen tree, resulting in a tangled line. Without hesitation, Rick jumped into the water to salvage the catch! It was an immensely enjoyable experience, and I would unquestionably choose to fish with him again.
