I went on my first private charter in St Pete with Hank and what a great experience i had. To start the boat was spotless, the fishing rods and equipment was top notch. Hank gave me some options on what to target and suggested that we head straight out to a few of his favorite reefs. This would be our best bet for good results. Trust me when a captain gives a suggestion for best results, listen and i am glad i did. We caught over 50 key west snappers , 2 spanish mackerel, one triple tail and a real nice 15 pound gag grouper. We also got broken off 4 times on big fish. Oh in case i didn’t mention earlier i went out solo. Thats what happens some time you win and some times the fish get away. When i come back to the area i will definitely book him again. Thank you for a great day on the water.

Been fishing long enough in Florida to know it’s all about weather, temperatures, and time of year. So first week of August with choppy seas is less than ideal. Captain Hank told us conditions might make it hard, and had to deviate from the original plan. But he would try his best to get him back n some fish. We started pulling the fish up within 10 seconds of the first drop and didn’t stop. To top it off, I got to see my dad pull in one of his bucket list fish, a Goliath grouper. Reccomend 100 percent. And will be booking again to target some bucket list fish in the future. Also give a good shout out to hanks 14 year old son. Very respectable young man and we also got to seee him catch his first Goliath.

Went on this excursion with captain Hank and my girlfriend, we caught so many fish, the bite was insane! Captain hank was also a huge help with teaching my girlfriend how to fish saltwater for the first time! I fish regularly and Hank taught me a ton of stuff that I didn’t even know. Will definitely be booking again and will totally recommend this excursion for anyone trying to learn how to fish and have a great time!

10/10 highly recommend!  We had fish on as soon as we stopped the boat and moved spots if the catch slowed down. We were pulling in a variety of fish one after another.  Captain Hank was laid back, helpful and had a good playlist. When the Captain called “Last Cast”, a large fish was hooked on one of the rods at the back of the boat and he handed it off to our 16 year old to reel in a nurse shark.  We were able to get pictures once the Captain pulled it onto the boat. Lifetime memories were made! When in the area, we are definitely going again.  And we will forever measure the size of our fish in the number of Tacos it will make. Captain filleted and bagged 17 fish for us to take home.
Thanks Cpt. Hank for unforgettable day!

Deep Color Fishing combines professionalism, flexibility, and genuine hospitality. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this charter to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water. Captain Hank knew where to find the fish and even recommended a restaurant that would cook our catch afterward. This trip was the highlight of my 12-year-old son’s holiday. We’ll definitely be booking again!
