Spent a day with Capt Hubbard today 21st Tarpon fishing. He put us straight on the fish and my first ever Tarpon was 160lb plus. He made my dream come true. Capt Hubbard is a very knowledgable, interesting and friendly person. He will spend time talking and teaching you rather than just hooking you up. I will definitely be booking... More

What a great time we had with Capt. Van. We asked him to teach us to catch Snook and Sea Trout. That he did. He provided lots of guidance, and knew where the fish were located. He is a strict teacher but if you listen you will see that rod bend and great fish on. Check the photo's. He is... More

Booked a family charter in April 2013. Picked Captain Van based on a web search indicating Captain Van was a good pick for a family fishing experience. My 11 and 8 year olds did all the fishing. Us parents took pictures and stayed out of the way. Captain Van was kept very busy baiting lines and teaching the kids to... More

My father and 13 year old son had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Van in March 2013. It was my second trip over the years. Captain Van was great with my son and seemed to enjoy teaching him to fish. We caught several Pompano. I would highly recommend Van Hubbard.

4 generations enjoyed a fabulous 2/27 fishing trip with Capt. Van and I've heard nothing but good about it since. Great-grandpa, Grandpa, Dad and Son, Lukas thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Capt Van was very patient with 7 year old Lukas....the best picture is Lukas with his black nosed shark that he reeled in himself. He shared a picture during 1st... More

I went fishing with Captain Van and we caught redfish and trout all morning. We even hooked a snook and released him because they are out out of season. We had a great time and he even taught me and my brother how to stalk the fish and where to cast at them. I told my mom and dad that... More

Cap't Van is one of the best fishing guides I've ever had the pleasure to charter. He put us on plenty of fish and we caught our share! He even took the time to explain the habitat around Lemon Bay and is obviously a conservationist as he practices catch & release. He is absolutely a true pro and my youngest... More

We hired Cap for two charters and he produced. He's a guy who knows his stuff and cares about what's going on in his environment. It was hot as heck out there but he found fish. I hooked me a shark, too. He is a knowledgable dude but runs a tight ship. He'll throw some jokes your way, and he... More
