We has a great day. Weather was perfect.  Caught Grouper and Yellowtail to bring home. Caught other fish that were catch and release.  Tried for Barracuda and managed to catch and release one Goliath Grouper.  Just enough time to stop and get in the water and explore a little of one of the islands. On the way back in,  got to help when a friend of the captain’s got stranded.  All in all a great day, good fishing, and a few learning experiences.  My boys…teenagers….and I definitely recommend fishing with The Hillbilly Hooker.

Had a great time with this crew! Knew the area and key spots. Very knowledgeable about the waters and a CG Vet. We always support our veterans and their companies. Put us on the fish and done an amazing job with keeping us comfortable. Even his young deck hand was amazing to watch him work and know what he was doing. Recommend this Charter 10-10!

Experienced profession captain!  Maintains his boat, tackle and equipment in top condition. While we didn’t fill a cooler with fish, Andrew did everything possible to make that happen. The captain can’t control wind/seas/bite, but he attempted to!

He was willing to share his knowledge with us and we learned new skills that we can apply to future trips to Key West.

We plan on coming back and will definitely engage Hillbilly Hookers again.

Awesome day with Captain Andrew and his son Calvin.  Extremely down to earth, friendly and service oriented.  Captain was great with communication before and during the trip.  It was a good haul to the Tortugas, 2-2.5 hours, but well worth and very comfortable on the bean bags he had set up in the back.  He provided a tour of the national park and the history that comes with it.  Offered us the opportunity to Loggerhead Key, we passed.  Water temps were a little too cool for snorkeling so we went straight to fishing.  Limited out on grouper with 15 minutes, snapper in an hour.  Non-stop action the whole time.  Great guy, down to earth and easy to talk to.  Would highly recommend and will book again.

Awesome personality, great guy and very knowledgeable!!!!

This trip was everything I could ask for. I asked Captain Andrew to put me on a big fish and he definitely delivered. We set out for Goliath grouper to start the morning. We had a few little sharks to play with at first but had no luck for the grouper. They must of not been in the mood at the time to eat our bait, but hey that’s why they call it fishing and not catching lol. We went out to a new spot and he put me on a BIG lemon shark and it was a heavy fish and a super fun fight. After the first shark the bite was on. It was an incredible day. I will definitely touch base with Captain Andrew next time I am in key west!!
