We were out on the boat with Joel and Tony and it was amazing. They did a wonderful job helping us and finding some great fish. I caught a 30 pound tuna and my boyfriend caught a 20+ pound tuna. Two others on the boat caught good sized mahi. It was a fun and well organized trip. The guys did a great job of getting the bait in the water and cleaning the fish. They made the trip fun and interesting even waiting for the fish to bite. They both were friendly and helpful. Truly a great experience

Weather was a bit choppy in the morning, but settled as the day went.  Fishing was tough, but the crew did their best to find fish.  Tried several different presentations, baits and locations.  Managed to catch enough fish to keep the interest going.  The highlight was the rest of the folks on the shared charter.  Good group of people and the crew was fun as well.  Especially First Mate Josh.  Will definitely give them another try on my next trip.  January is usually a tough month as it is.

Brought my wife and childhood friend who had never been off shore. Captain Daniel and 1st Mate Josh gave us the fishing adventure of a lifetime. They are very knowledgeable and very down to earth. Captain Daniel put us on fish while trolling, drifting, and bottom fishing. I think that the best part of the trip (aside from the haul) was how excited they were to see us catch fish.

We started off getting some bait fish in a couple of different spots. As we were getting ready to head out, a big barracuda came in. Josh had me on it in one cast. A solid 5 footer that fought like a beast.

We started trolling and hooked up two Mahi Mahi at the same time. We went back and found them schooling. We caught nine before heading to a wreck that we drifted over. We caught two alamco jacks. The first was a beast that had me absolutely worn out. We finished with bottom fishing and hooked into mutton snapper. The smallest one was the largest I had ever caught. It was dwarfed by the other four. The first of which was the largest and actually swam into a hole in the reef. Josh was able to get it to come out of the hole using a technique that I will use if it ever happens to me again.

If there was a fault, the boat is a little older, but it worked just fine and we all had a ball.

I would recommend anyone to hook up with the Hawkins brothers, unless you don’t want to catch fish…

Ive never fish before and wanted to experience fishing on my first visit to key west. Of course I didnt know any terms or what to do. The staff was really patient with me and help me a lot. They like what they do and honestly it’s contagious. It was one of the highlight of my trip. I would recommend it hands down.

Absolutely the best charter ever! Highly recommend this professional crew who found and helped us catch many fish on our bucket list, and went the extra mile to give us a delightful day on the water. Cowboy/Cowgirl charters are a first rate outfit,  the owners and crew are awesome folks who strive to please their customers. Many thanks to Mark, Michelle, Shawn and John for a trip we will never forget!
