Always Hookin Fishing Charters– 31' Contender

Always Hookin Fishing Charters is a father-and-son owned and operated charter service located in Jacksonville. USCG Captain Big Greg is retired from law enforcement with over 32 years of experience. USCG Captain Gregory has been fishing these waters since he was 5 years old. He is a full time Captain and Commercial fisherman. He also loves to fish competitively in numerous tournaments. Captain Gregory and crew have won or placed in numerous tournaments throughout Florida. Gregory loves to put you on fish and show you different techniques to catch them.

What sets them apart from most charters is their ability to find & catch fish AND their beautiful 31’ Contender Boat that is comfortable and quick. Our "Always Hookin" Contender is top-notch with a new interior, twin supercharged Mercury 300 Verado engines, and plenty of room to stretch out and fish. Smaller boats mean a rougher ride out and back, ride on our Cadillac of boats! We also have a marine toilet onboard (head).

They fish with newer quality equipment and rods and reels,they weigh less and are easier to reel. The Captains are also safety conscious, having newer electronics; EPIRB satellite beacon, satellite texting, 2 VHF radios, Type-1 personal flotation devices, and more.

Captains Big Greg and Gregory fish wrecks, reefs, ledges, & live bottom. They mainly target King Mackerel (Kingfish), Snapper, Cobia, Tarpon, Grouper, Black Drum, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Redfish, Tuna, and more depending on the season and conditions.

From novice to advanced, they will show you how to use their tackle for bottom fishing and different techniques for trolling big game fish.

All rods, reels, bait, tackle, and gas are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will also include all the necessary fishing licenses and permits for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. Tips appreciate
