Ron Finger with Fish Hawk Charters Tierra Verde, Florida Reported: 1 year ago

Our Pelagic Angler Expertise is in play as We target hogfish year round, but it’s best from November to May as it gets more difficult to catch them consistently during the summer months due to water temperatures. Our 1/2 day and 3/4 day charters are perfect for getting on great Hogfish action out in the Gulf of Mexico, due in part to the relative closeness of the fishing grounds. Here’s the FWC breakdown for Hog Snapper. Expect a ton of action on these snapper fishing charters. The best part of fishing for the hog snapper is the challenge of getting them to bite. They have very large mouths, but only pick at the bait, making them hard to hook. Once you do hook one however, you will know by the telltale way they fight, extremely fast tail beats on the line and drag pulling as they look for a rock crevice to find safety in. Considered one of, if not the best, eating of the snapper species. We Deliver the Results Exceed Expectations!!

My wife, Carolina, and I, had a great time with Captain Steve! He showed us not only the techniques of catching fish on the West Coast, but also a great time and he is a great showman! Captain Steve definitely knows what he’s doing! We will be back!🙌🎣

Trip: Beach Fishing: Family-Friendly
★★★★★
My wife and I recently booked an afternoon fishing trip with Jose. Jose was very personable and immediately set us at ease. He has a great sense of humor and we laughed throughout the afternoon. More importantly, we caught fish from the beginning of the trip to the end. Jose knows these waters and where to find them. We caught many species (spotted sea trout, sheepshead, redfish, snook, pinfish, a shark, and the elusive triple tail). The sea trout were the most plentiful and made an excellent meal. Thanks Jose for a fun afternoon. We will book again the next time we are in the area!!
