Met Capt. Luke Crooke that morning and we all headed out to first catch some bait fish. The grand kids really enjoyed catching those little fish on sabiki rigs. Then, with plenty of live bait onboard, we took off out to some artificial reefs to try our luck at catching red snapper. We caught some nice snapper, along with the occasional shark and trigger fish. When we returned, Luke cleaned the fish for us, we settled up, and off we went. All of us had a good time. 
  Luke seems to be pretty patient with kids, and overall a nice guy with much experience. I would highly recommend Hot Spots charters and Capt Luke as well.

Our original charter was canceled and we booked this last minute so that we may get in some fishing on our vacation. Captain Evan was friendly and professional. He was great with my son and daughter, providing clear directions and they both caught on quick. He had different spots already planned out in case one didn’t pan out but our first stop ended up being our only stop. We ended up catching over 20 fish (mostly red snapper) and the action was constant. A brewing storm cut our trip a bit short but Captain Evan’s first priority was our safety and he wasn’t taking any chances with lightning.  Both of my kids had an amazing time. Very grateful to Captain Evan for the fun and safe fishing experience. Highly recommend him and we will reach out to him in the future when we return to the Pensacola Beach area and are looking to head out on the bay once again.

We had our fishing trip with Hot Spots on Monday, March 18.  We are a family of 4 with a 2 year old.  I was a little nervous about having the 2 year old on the boat but everything went wonderfully.  We all caught several fish and had some very close encounters with many dolphins.  We would definitely recommend that this company and Luke, our fishing guide.
