I think I had an 80# tarpon on after my 3rd cast... Caught one more and hooked around 6. Then the snook! Watched a giant bull shark eat one after we leadered it. This guy makes it look easy. I fish a lot. I have used many guides all over the country and world. I put Jason at the top. Anyone that is just as excited as me to see 100# fish jumping everywhere is tops in my book. I recommend him to anyone looking to fish and catch in south Florida. Thanks again Captain Jason!

Great fishing charter. Went for a 1/2 day with my sons. The boat was excellent - very comfortable…read moreand well-equipped. Captain Sig was a top notch professional - he was working the whole time trying to find the best places to fish, working the boat when a fish was on, etc. His son was our first mate and was working hard the whole trip - great guy. We did not have great luck on the reef, so Capt. Sig took us to deeper waters and we caught a huge barracuda, a large Mahi Mahi and a fat skipjack tuna. I highly recommend Hot Shot. BTW, the cleanest, best maintained boat I have ever been on.

I found that the people I spoke with in the Miami area are used to dealing with tourists and are very quick to get off the phone and borderline verbally confrontational when I asked a series of questions related to weather, type of fish, times, rates, etc. Captain Sig was entirely different. When I reached out to Hot Shot Charters I got in touch with Captain Sig who was personal, professional and was serious about catching fish. We chatted for a bit and I knew immediately that Sig would put us on some fish, be courteous and show how to have some fun on the water. We showed up on Saturday Morning around 7:15 and Captain Sig and a deck hand were ready to go! They grabbed our cooler, helped us jump in and we were off in literally 5 minutes. I've learned since I've been here that Miami time is a separate time zone within itself but clearly Hot Shot Charters and Captain Sig didn't subscribe to it! We trolled for a while and within the first 45 minutes we were in a Mahi school and the next thing that we knew it, we all had multiple fish in the boat. This went on for another couple of hours and we left with close to 70 pounds of fish, a great time and plans to come see them again. Captain Sig and Hot Shot Charters did an awesome job and we look forward to going out again. The next trip will be the Bahamas though! Thanks!

We chartered Fintastic in Sept., 2019 to go out for a half day of fishing on a Sunday. We were…read morethere for a wedding and thought it would be fun to take the family out (two adults three kids). Called around to get prices and get a feel for everyone, and they were by far and away the most customer-centric of the five different places I called. Everyone was basically "do you want to charter or not", if not good bye. This in all turned out to be a banner day, with a pretty big haul, so much so that we garnered a lot of attention back at the dock when we laid out the catch. We showed up early, before they were ready to go and they welcomed us and let us know what their timeline for heading out was. The vessel was prepped and and ready to go with all the snacks beverages for the kiddos and some adult beverages as well. We went out and they started dropping lines as soon as we could and within the first 5 min of a line being in the water we had a fish on. It was a bait fish, but my 10yr old son thought he was king of the mountain. Little did we know it was just starting. After my two boys had landed 8 more fish in the first 45 min (Bonita's and Kings) I decided it was time to get in the seat and pull in 1, it came off. Not to worry though, I was given another opportunity in the next 10 minutes and landed my first. The Captain and First Mate were understanding when I had to force my 13 yr old daughter to catch a fish (which she did while actively crying...), after the first she wanted more. Once we had landed about 15 the Wife decided she should probably get in and land one before our luck ran out. She got hers and went back to watching us. To take advantage of the activity my youngest decided he wanted to hand-line as well as reel them in. They were accommodating and him and I both started doing more. From setting, hand-lining and dropping lines they were happy to teach us. At the end of our 4 hr excursion we had landed north of 29, we lost track due to us releasing a number of the Bonita's. We didn't get a trophy fish, but we got a trophy. Being able to fish with my kids and be reeling in two fish at the same time with them was an amazing experience. They unfortunately have a warped sense of what deep-sea fishing entails as they think it is normal to only go a few minutes between landing fish. Everything was great, couldn't have asked for a better day. If you are looking to have a relaxed time with a professional crew I couldn't recommend them enough. Oh, and to top it off, my youngest decided he wanted to learn how to tie-off the boat back at the dock, they were happy to oblige and he was on cloud 9. Thank you again.
