Captain Andrew Mercer will be at the helm on your Florida Keys fishing charter adventure. Capt. Andrew has many years of experience fishing in Florida, Louisiana, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico. He began running fishing charters in Key West so he could show everyone just how exciting Keys fishing can be. He has a passion for fishing and leading his clients to the catch of a lifetime. There will never be a dull moment on your trip with his entertaining personality.

Your Florida fishing charter with Capt. Andrew will begin in Key West. Wherever the bite is hot is where Capt. Andrew will want to put you. You could end up exploring the nearby waters of Fleming Key, Stock Island, Marquesas Keys, Dry Tortugas, Big Coppit Key, and many other locations in the area in search of your trophy catch.

Fishing will be done off of our 28ft catamaran that makes Florida Keys fishing charters a breeze. She has enough room on board for up to six passengers. The vessel is powered by twin Yamaha 250 engines and there are state-of-the-art electronics to help find the fish. Safety equipment includes life jackets, flares, EPIRB, VHF radio, and First Aid Equipment.

The full day also puts us in range of shrimp boats that hold tuna, bonito and sharks. This trip has us covering a lot of distance in search of big fish such as marlin, tuna, grouper, cobia, mahi mahi, African pompano and permit.

Dry Tortugas Fishing

$2,250.00

Price includes up to 6 guests

7:00am - 5:00pm EST (10 hours)
Deposit refundable up to 7 Days before the trip
Trip Details

Target mainly snapper and grouper with kingfish, wahoo and tuna as frequent bi-catch.

This trip is not for the faint of heart. Dy Tortugas lies 72 miles west of Key West. We will cover a lot of ocean and catch big fish.
This trip covers long distances but with huge payoffs. Big mutton snapper and larger grouper are the main attraction. The Dry Tortugas is a largely untapped resource due to its remote location.

Full Day Trip
Captain Andrew and fist mate Noah were excellent hosts. My wife and I went on a full day offshore trip and it was great. We caught several different species including Mahi. Had a close encounter with dozens of Dolphins that can really close to the boat. Also had a pretty large fish on that ate a fish I was reeling in. Might have been a 500 lb grouper? Who knows but it was big. Will definitely book again with Hillbilly hookers.

Full Day – Dry Tortugas Fishing
Capt. Andrew is first class. He was very accommodating to our group. 5 of us easily fit on his 36’ boat. The bean bag chairs are a nice touch. Good napping on way out. Stopped at the Fort for a short tour and stretch our legs. The water is amazingly clear. We then proceeded to catch Mutton Snapper, Yellow tails Grouper and sharks. Andrew is friendly, knowledgeable, and plays good tunes on the stereo. We look forward to another visit.

Split Trip Afternoon 4 Hour
Cpt. Andrew provided everything we needed for a great (first-time) fishing trip. The boat was spotless and powerful as we sped to a spot about 15 miles off the coast of Key West. Andrew was great - friendly, super-knowledgeable and constantly baiting hooks and unhooking fish for us (until my boys figured out how to do it for themselves). We caught and released about 15 12-inch groupers, red snappers, etc., Then, with only 15 minutes left on the trip, my boys hooked and, with Andrew’s help, reeled in a 8-ft. 300-lb bull shark! It was a 10-minute struggle to bring it in, but an incredible experience that we’ll never forget. We couldn’t recommend Andrew and Hillbilly Hookers any higher. (And his sons, who keep the boat so clean.) We were newbies, but I’m sure more experienced fishermen will be just as pleased.
