Welcome to Hott Pursuit Charters where fishing isn’t just fun, it’s a passion. Captain Chris has over 30 years of fishing experience in northeast Florida and would like to share that knowledge with his guests. New to fishing? No problem, Captain Chris and crew are more than happy to teach kids and adults alike how to fish.
On the nearshore trips, the catches are seasonal and include Grouper, Red Fish, Red Snapper, Black Sea Bass, also both King and Spanish Mackerel. For the experienced anglers going offshore, you’ll be targeting the big hitters such as Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi.
You should bring food (lunch) and snacks for the cooler if you want to eat, and drinks if you want something other than water, I will have plenty of water onboard. Waterproof sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat are very important. Please pack only 1 or 2 duffle bags per group, as storage on the vessel is minimum. Bring a cooler to leave in your vehicle so you can take your catch home, I'll supply the ice.
Please don't wear any boots or hard sole shoes of any kind as they will damage the fiberglass surface on the boat.
Thanks!...

Full Day Trip – Offshore
Had a great time with captain Chris and his son. We went out about 12 miles and caught two fish almost immediately after catching the bait. The waves were a little rough for my wife and I, due to the weather, so we didn’t go out any farther. Chris was very accommodating to our needs and could tell we were kinda sick. He offered some fishing a bit closer to the land where the water wasn’t so rough and had plenty of Gatorades and water for us. Other factors that made our experience great was that we are not picky and don’t really eat fish, so we were able to target sharks for the fun of catching. I had the most challenging catch of my life today and it was a great time. We also noticed that neither Chris or his son used any profanity, so if you are looking for a family friendly trip this is the captain for you. It was obvious that he knew what he was doing and made sure we had a good experience. We chose this captain because of the great reviews and I see why they were great now. Thank you captain Chris and I look forward to the next trip with you.

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM)
Absolutely amazing! Captain Chris and Jesse were very friendly and accommodating! Chris took his time explaining everything that was going on. It was myself (44) my son (20) and my dad (80) and this was our first time fishing in the ocean. Chris couldn’t have been more helpful! We caught 4, Black Tip Sharks and had an afternoon of pure joy! I highly recommend them and I were are going to see them one more time before we leave.
