Meet Captain Dave Hoke

Capt. Dave Hoke has been fishing our local waters for over 15 years. Following the foot steps of his father, he has proceeded to be one of the top young guides in Southwest Florida. His number of repeat customers dictates that. Capt. Dave specializes in all types of inshore fishing. His main focuses are redfish, snook, and big big goliath grouper. He also catches other species including trout, tarpon, sharks, sheepshead, snapper, flounder and many other types of saltwater fish. Capt. Dave Hoke runs three boats. He runs a 22 foot Shearwater tower boat for tarpon and flats fishing, a 17 foot Ranger Phantom for super skinny tailing redfish.. Capt. Dave Hoke and Capt. Bill Hoke are also regular tournament anglers. They have earned major winnings with numerous top 5's and a few wins as well.
