Went out on an 8 hour morning trip with Captain Trevor and Mick. It was pretty rough, 5 foot seas, but we stuck it out and had a great... read more time. Caught our limit of Snapper, along with a Mahi, a Bonito and a couple of others we had to throw back. We ended up coming back a bit early with a couple of our guys getting seasick, but we had a great time. Trevor and Mick were great, super helpful getting us to good fishing spots and helping us bring in the fish. Boat was super clean, and Trevor was a great Captain, very safe and knowledgeable. Our family of 10 ate fish for the next three days!

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.

  Our family had a great time with Captain Jordan! Caught lots of fish and had fun. We had booked a trip with another charter service who changed price... read more after booking weeks earlier and then they cancelled on us the night before anyway. Hot Spots helped us out and the trip was exactly what they said it would be, price and everything. No surprises. Jordan was great and worked hard keeping us baited up and on fish. He's very patient, knowledgeable, and easy to be around. Fun day even though breezy and choppy on the water.....

We later watched Captain Mike clean & filet the fish for us to take home, and we got a close look at the pelicans waiting for the scraps.

  We booked a trip on July 31st to take three of our boys fishing. We were fortunate enough to be given Captain Bob Potomski for the morning. He asked lots... read more of questions to make sure the trip was customized to us. Because we had been fishing in Pensacola before, he seemed to work a little harder to make sure this trip was not like anything we had ever done. He made sure the boys were catching types of fish they had never caught before. I truly appreciate his efforts to make this a memorable experience. And, the impromptu dolphin show at the end was icing on the cake! Thank you so much for the memories!

I can’t say enough good things about captain Bradley. Also Hot spot charters was very helpful in booking, reservation and payment! I will use this company every time I go fishing in Pensacola.

Took us to multiple fishing spots. We did some catch-and-release red snapper fishing, followed by an AWESOME time catching Spanish Mackerel 2 at a time! Also looked for Sheepshead and Reds, but conditions were not supporting a good bite. Went back to catch more Mackerel! You can’t go wrong with Hot Spots! They are professionals and know what is biting where! We return 2-3 times per year! Can’t wait for Snapper season!
