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.

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!

Captain Ryan made certain that we had a fantastic experience during our excursion. We had an enjoyable outing pursuing tarpon, speckled trout, and snook. Each of us successfully reeled in multiple fish. A well-deserved 5-star rating.

An exceptional outing with my kids! Captain Ryan's expertise and spot-on understanding of the designated species' whereabouts were remarkable. Our haul included Snook, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, and Trout. I wholeheartedly endorse HooknReel Charters to fellow fishing aficionados seeking to reel in impressive In-Shore trophy catches.

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 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 provided an incredibly enjoyable experience for my 8-year-old son and me. We had an amazing time as he guided us in catching numerous fish. His boat's maneuverability in the river was excellent, and his adeptness and friendly demeanor with children made the trip even more special. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a delightful day on the water!

Upon our arrival, Captain Ryan was prepared on the vessel, swiftly guiding us to the fishing grounds within 20 minutes. His expertise and flexibility were impressive as he skillfully navigated the mangroves in the nearby canals off the Banana River in Satellite Beach. The exhilarating experience of catching snook, trout, and tarpon in these waters was truly enjoyable. Without a doubt, we intend to secure another booking with him in the future.

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.
