Hank hit all the right spots to catch enough tasty sheepshead fish and snapper to make a great fishing day out of a bad weather one. As a fair weather recreational boater and fisherman we were able to avoid the seasickness from the choppy windy conditions and make it worthwhile for the 3 teen boys for 4 hours hooking probably twenty fish with 8 good size keepers filleted by him right on shore.

Captain Hank was a wonderful addition to our trip! He was smart, funny and a great conversationalist. The fishing was slow but we knew that with the pre day conversation of wind and murky water. We caught an array of different species including a bonnet head shark. Thanks for making memories with us Hank! See you next trip down from Canada!

Captain Hank was awesome! Called the day before to make a plan on what to fish for. Result was sharks, which my 9 year old son was out of his mind excited for. On the half day trip, we caught 5 sharks and probably 50 bait fish…an unforgettable experience!!
