  My son loves fishing and we wanted to make sure he had a great first deep sea fishing trip and Hot Spots did not disappoint! Captain Luke was very... read more knowledgeable and had us on the fish quick once we got out to the Gulf. We did a 4 hour afternoon trip and caught 13 mingo snappers and 2 amberjack but they were too small and had to throw them back. We can’t wait to come back and book another trip!

  Fishing was HOT but the weather was COLD! Capt Bradley warned us to bring a jacket or rain poncho...he couldn't have stressed it enough when the temp is 48 F... read more and the wind is blowing and traveling on the open water equals COLD!. We had a successful trip catching Sheepshead and a few misc other Ocean fish. Capt.Bradley was very cordial and knowledgeable and able to relate to our crew including (3) 18 year old to be graduates who claim to know it all and (1) mature adult who stressed to the young men to dress warm. We had a wonderful time and Capt Brad even attempted to troll for some top-water fish after catching our fill of Sheepshead. Hot Spots Charter was able to re-book our adventure after having to cancel due to wind two days earlier. We were glad we were able to get this trip within our week. I did struggle to communicate with Hot Spot Charters while booking and re-booking, although it was worth the determination to connect with HOT SPOT Charters. I'd recommend them to a friend.

We had some one, but they got away. They have several spots to try if the bite is not hot in one place. We went out for 6 hours which was perfect for us. They were easy to talk to and quick to get you baited up and back in the water after your catch. We had a great time and will look them up again when we male it back down. They also strive to keep a very clean boat which we appreciated. We caught. Few other species and saw dolphins. Money well spent.

Again this day, even with the rough seas, he kept us on the fish and dry! I can promise you, I will never go saltwater fishing with anyone other than Hot Spot Charters and Captain Andy Arnold.

The captain Trevor canceled our original date because of weather. Understandable but he gave us this lame excuse about his grandma dying and he couldn’t wait for the storm to pass. We reschedule for Monday but we list some of our people who could not stay an extra day. Captain Trevor had a bad attitude from the start. He and his mate never helped me or my wife the whole fishing trip and we never caught a single fish. The rest of the people on the boat caught plenty but we finally gave up and just sat there till it was time to leave. After returning we put together a tip for the crew. Captain Trevor came down and got in our face because the tip wasn’t 20%. The dude was literally screaming at us on the dock because he wanted a bigger tip. Worse first deep sea fishing experience ever. Not only will I not waste my time on hot spots ever again it is doubtful I will ever try deep sea fishing again.
