Water levels have come up, and the fish have scattered out a little bit. You’ve got to work for them right now, but once you find fish, stay with them. The bite has been fantastic when you get around them.
Lake Okeechobee has been a little on and off lately. Water levels are still low overall but are slowly coming up. We could use some stable weather to really get things going. Once conditions settle in, expect the bass bite to fire up.

May was an incredible month aboard the Hooked Up Sport Fishing off the coast of South Florida! Charter fishing has been outstanding, with an abundance of blackfin tuna, sailfish, and a great start to the grouper season. While we didn't snap too many grouper photos, we did land a gorgeous yellow edge grouper! The weather was fantastic, though the Sargasso weed gave us a few mixed days but we adapted and kept the bites coming.
As we roll into June, we're gearing up for a big surge of mahi-mahi! With an abundance of Sargasso weed this year, it's looking like...

As we roll into June, we're gearing up for a big surge of mahi-mahi! With an abundance of Sargasso weed this year, it's looking like prime time for these mahi runs. Don't miss out book your charter now and join us for an unforgettable fishing adventure.
Summer fishing is kicking off with a blast. The peacocks and largemouth are active and hungry. As the water temperatures continue to warm up and as we get more rain, the bite is only going to get better. We’re catching anywhere between 8-20+ fish during our 2hr trip and 20-30+ during our 4hr trips!
The early summer pattern has been producing some incredible action, especially early and late afternoon bites. Most of our fish have been around 2-4 pounds, with some bigger ones mixed in as well. Whether you’re an experienced angler looking to knock peacocks off your bucket list...

Justin aka Captain Hawkeye was amazing on the water! The whole Cast n Blast experience far exceeded our expectations! He guided us to an array of fish species throughout the trip including the Peacock Bass and ensured all passengers caught their fair share. Midday he prepared a shore lunch feast that was absolutely delicious and fueled us for the afternoon hunt where Justin was relentless putting us on numerous iguanas! To top the whole day off, Justin introduced us to his friendly gator Fast Eddie who put on a show and completed the full Everglades experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
We had an Awesome time hunting the florida Iguana. Justin was a super guide, very clear directions super helpful and very patient with us as it was the first time hunting these reptiles. He spotted them, lined us up and we shot. It was great, my wife loved this experience and is still bragging about the time we had on the water. We highly recommend Justin as a guide, a true professional. Very good equipment, great boat, top notch weapons, that let us hunt without any hold ups or delays. Truly a great time in Ft. Lauderdale FL. Thanks
We had a great time! Justine was a very knowledgeable guide and kept his eye on the weather to ensure us the better hunting day. It was a great adventure! We would recommend a hunt with Justin!
Justin is a great guide. He is serious and doesn’t mess around. He gets the job done. They call him hog eyes for a good reason. He will find the iquanas. If you can shoot you are golden for a great hunt. I hope to be back to hunt with him again soon ! He likes to keep a nice clean boat and expects you to follow the rules. (Just read the rules and follow the directions) to insure you have a great time! Well worth the money. Thank you Justin
Very knowledgeable about the area, gave clear instructions, found plenty of Iguana...32 dead to be exact :). Great food as well! Will come back with our kids next time!
Had an awesome day with Captain Justin! It was an experience my son and I won't soon forget. We soon found out why he has the nickname "Hawkeye", cause he could spot them a mile away! If we are ever back in the area we will for sure get a hold of him and go again! Probably do some Peacock bass fishing with him too!
