We took our daughter out for her birthday, and even though bass was out of season, we still managed to catch three keepers. Alan knows the ocean and the best fishing spots, and he worked hard to make sure we had a great day on the water. He also shared helpful fishing tips that made the trip even better.

Captain Jesse was outstanding—on time, friendly, and great with our beginner anglers. He asked what kind of fishing we wanted and took us straight to the action with the right gear. We barely had time for photos because the bite was non-stop! My wife wished we had more pictures, but the rest of us couldn’t have been happier. We’d absolutely book again.

The captain and his son were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our trip. It was my son's birthday, and we had an amazing time. We'll definitely be booking with them again, and I'm already planning a trip with my boys in November. I highly recommend Hook & Fin Charter!
