Capt. Ed is one of the most professional captains I have ever fished with and I have fish with a lot. He is absolutely one of the best tarpon fisherman in Florida. I promise he will work his hardest to fulfill your dream of catching a tarpon!

If it’s an unforgettable Tarpon trip you are looking for then Captain Ed of Wicked Hooks is who you need. I have taken over four 2 day trips and each experience has be amazing. Captain Ed shows his experience by putting you on multiple schools throughout the day. And he doesn’t stop until you have had the tarpon fight of a lifetime. One trip I took my 9 year old and it made his day to feel the power of a tarpon. Already have my dates planned in June and July this year and can’t wait!! You won’t regret choosing Wicked Hooks as your charter!

My husband and I have done two charters with Wicked Hooks over the last few years and we will be back for more!! Captain Ed is very knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and you can tell he genuinely loves his job. Fishing can be a luck of the day event, but Capt Ed found good spots for us to have our best chance to catch fish and We sure did! My husband and I were catching so many redfish that it quickly became a big competition of who caught the most and who snagged the biggest one [that would be me :)]. We definitely had a great time, and cannot wait to get back to Florida for another round with this charter!
I recommend Wicked Hooks to EVERYONE... Couples, Families, Weekend getaway groups, everyone will enjoy a day on the water with great fishing action!

Captain Edward did an excellent job of putting me on tons of fish. He was very friendly, full of knowledge, and gave me every chance to catch all the fish I wanted. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to catch fish and have a blast doing it. I cannot wait till my next trip in a couple months.
