  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.

My Grandson was only in town for 4 days... read more and the fishing trip was supposed to be his birthday present. Captain Andy met us at the car with rain gear and the rest is history....he kept us out of the rain and on fish all day. Two weeks later my niece and her boyfriend were here, once again it was a rainy day. Captain Andy delayed us 1 hour and then off we went, rain gear and all. 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.
