We had a really great time for six hours riding on the hillbilly hookers. Captain, Andy and his son were great. Anytime we were out of bait on my hook, they were immediately there to put another bait on. Very helpful and enjoyable. Definitely going to cook again if we do this again next year. My 16 year old son, my 14 year old daughter, my 12 year old son, and my 10 year old son had an awesome time. My 12 year old is now obsessed with fishing. We didn’t even go to dinner tonight after the trip because he wanted to fish from the shore with the extra bait that was left over the captain gave to us.

We had an amazing time on the Hillbilly Hooker charter. Andrew the Captain was extremely patient and knowledgeable and helped the kids and myself every step of the way. His mate, which happened to be his son made the kids feel right at home and they are still in contact with each other today. They not only put us on the fish, but we caught our limit before 1pm so they took us to a sandbar where we we were able to swim and relax. We liked them so much we tried to book another teip with them two days later but they were already booked. I would recommend the Hillbilly Hooker charter to the experinced anglers as well as ones that have children just learning to fish. Thank you Andrew and Calvin for a great fishing trip.

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Tortugas and beyond with Andrew and his first mate Cal. It was a full day customized adventure. First stop was Dry Tortugas with Andrew as our personal tour guide before the crowd of tourists from ferries got there. It was an awesome tour. Then, to make my daughter happy his next stop was at a reef so we could all snorkel and see some pretty amazing fish. Then we bottom fished (caught a hug grouper and yellow jack) on the way to mahi fish (caught 40!!!!) It was definitely the highlight of our entire Key West trip. We would all highly recommend Hillbilly Hookers for anyone wanting to have a fun day catching fish.

3/4 Day Offshore - Some of us were new to fishing while other were experienced. Either way, Captain Mercer and his son provided a great experience for all of us. When we come back to Key West next year, we will be booking with Hillbilly Charters again!

Make sure to ask Captain Mercer about the rare Bucketmouth Fish! Definitely a great catch for those who are willing.

It was my first time fishing Florida waters and the captain gave me a great day on the water catching a variety of fish.  The captain was friendly, the boat and equipment were terrific!
