Captain Mel was very kind and patient. Would be a great experience for families or couples who do not want to put up with smoking and drinking while fishing and having a great time. Very successful and enjoyable fishing adventure, despite sea sickness!
Great trips every time. Large barracuda in Jamaica. Blacktip shark 2.5ft, couple small catfish, two Croakers 8 inch each, American eel 2ft and a 2-3ft Spanish mackerel (caught but not netted) in Florida.
Thanks so much for your review, Mikel! We're very happy to hear about your experiences and are really impressed by that catch list. We hope we can help you add some more species onto it soon!
Pelican and Tommy were great, The Lucky Charm, although we only caught 1 fish, our friends and us had an amazing time, Thanks guys for trying hard
Thanks very much for your review, Roger! We're glad you had a good time and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
Capt. And Mate were pleasant, professional and knowledgeable.
Thanks for your review, Morris! We're really happy to hear that you had a good time.
We caught 8 lakers and 1 nice coho, and had 2 lakers and a king get off.It was a very nice and calm morning.The captain was very nice to talk to and knew how to catch fish.
Sounds like an amazing trip, Tracy! Thank you for your review and congratulations for such an impressive catch.
We had a great time would do it again for sure. We caught some small and some big fish.
Thanks for your great review, Todd! We hope we can help you get on the water again soon.
FishingBooker is a great way to see multiple fishing charters in your next fishing location! Plenty of options and filters to view the fishing charter companies you want to see. Prices on FishingBooker are higher than normally booked directly through the charter company. I would recommend FishingBooker to any novice fisherman or for a family trip in an unfamiliar vacation location.
Thanks very much for your thoughtful review, Travis! It means a lot to hear that you liked our website and would recommend it to others.
Regarding the prices, we actually operate a Best Price Guarantee, which promises that customers will never have to pay more to use FishingBooker than if they booked elsewhere online. If your trip is advertised cheaper elsewhere, we'll refund the difference! You can find out more here: https://fishingbooker.com/bestprice
We hope this helps and please let us know if you'd like any more information.
Thanks for your great review, Robert! We're glad you had a good time and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
Captain Chris and Jacob were a pleasure to deal with from the reservation through the trip and afterwards. The weather was unpredictable that day so we couldn't go out as far as we would have liked and had a hard time catching the live bait initially. The water was rough also and we didn't catch as much as we would have liked, but they really tried to get us on fish. Overall we had a great time and would book with them again as most of the things were out of their control. They did turn us on to a restaurant that cooked our fish for us which was delicious and really capped off the day. Hopefully we will see them again next year.
Rick, thanks very much for your review. I'm sorry to hear you didn't catch as much as you were hoping for and hope that the fish and weather are more cooperative next time! It's great to hear that you had a good experience nonetheless.
In and out pretty quick and close to the shore. Despite the fact we asked for the particular experience and were promised we'll have a good time. Not to mention we were asked to accommodate their schedule with shorter trip then we initially planned. Felt like our trip was used just to fill the gap in their schedule. Meet or exceed expectations. That's how business and good tips are earned.
Alex, we're very sorry your trip didn't live up to your expectations. We understand from the captain that it was slow on the water when you were fishing, which unfortunately no one can control. However, we're sorry to hear you felt like you were just filling a gap and we'll certainly look into this in more detail with the captain to see how we can improve the service we mutually offer. We hope we can show you a better time on a future trip with a different charter!
Captain Jeff is the best Captain on. Lake Lanier, we'll be back next week Captain.
Thanks for your great review, Larry! We're glad you had a good trip with Captain Jeff and that you're fishing with him again. Let us know if we can help!
We had a dry spell at the beginning but Captain Corey stuck with it and after visiting many coves and docks (enjoying the great scenery in the process) found a few great spots where we caught some great size redfish. Captain Corey stayed out longer than advertised just so we could catch some big ones. Much fun!
Thanks very much for your review, Mike! That sounds like a truly memorable trip. Let us know next time you want to go fishing!
Buen día de pesca. Agoney sabe moverse y buscar buenas zonas de pesca. Volveremos
Thanks for your review, Carlos! We're glad you had a good trip and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
This was my second trip with Balihoo. Lucio and Balta are knowledgeable and friendly. We caught lots of fish and had a great time.
Thanks for your review, Andrew. We're glad to hear that Balihoo lived up to your expectations!
Awesome trip and excellent captan and first mate. 6 hr trip. Well kept older vessel. Very knowledgeable and kept us on the fish
Thanks for your review, Duwayne! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your trip and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
Fishing Booker was very convenient for us to use for reserving our family fishing trip while on vacation at OBX!
Thanks for your great review, Grace! We're glad to have helped with your fishing trip and hope we can find you another charter again soon!
Was on vacation and had some open time so decided to see if we could book a fishing trip. Found FishingBooker which made it easy to review and compare some local guides. On a Sunday afternoon I was able to book a trip for Monday morning. The guide was excellent! Will use FishingBooker again.
Thanks very much for your review, Mike. We're glad to have helped you find a great charter and hope we can help you go fishing again soon!
I'd spoken with Troy (management?) the night prior to taking customers out. Troy did not advise that the head was out on the boat we were to use. We only learned after being underway.
Significantly, even more because I'd prepaid (in cash—Kinn's asks for pmt. Up front) including 4/2day licenses. Upon the finish of our trip (w/embarrassing boat handling)…. It was clear that -no- fishing licenses had been prepared. The DNR was shorted as the young man running the boat advised that they "only needed one". That excess money merely went to Kinn's (or somewhere else unknown to me). I love to use charter fishing for entertainment. These guys will get no referrals or come-backs from me.
Thanks for booking with us, Dave, and we're very sorry to hear your fishing trip didn't live up to your expectations. We take reports like this and followed up with the captain about the head and the licenses to understand what happened. He informed us that the head was temporarily out of service due to the backlog of orders nationwide caused by Covid, but that it's now back up and running. He also let us know that licenses were offered to the group, but several people left without filling them out due to their sea sickness. He's very sorry you didn't have a good experience and has offered you a discount on a future trip. You've also received credit from us to go towards a future trip anywhere in the world. We hope you'll fish through us again and that we can show you an experience that's memorable for all the right reasons!
They went out of their way to accommodate us even though we were pretty new to charter fishing. Will definitely use them again!
Thanks very much for your review – we're glad you had a good time! Tight lines.
The captain of our trip was very knowledgeable and provided clear and helpful instructions to enhance our experience. I took my two boys, ages 11 & 12, and he was very patient with us, put the bait on all the rods, and handled all the fish we caught. Very nice and accommodating.
Thanks for the great review, Shelly! We're glad you had a good time and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
