Meet Captain Lou Hocker

Captain Lou Hocker has been passionately engaged in the art of fishing since he was a young boy, guided by the wisdom and experience of his father and grandfather. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in fishing traditions, Captain Lou developed a profound love for the sport that has been a significant part of his life for decades. This deep-seated enthusiasm for fishing is evident in every aspect of the charters he offers today. Over the years, he has shared his love for fishing with his own two sons, who have been accompanying him on fishing trips since they were toddlers. This tradition of passing down the fishing legacy through generations is something Captain Lou cherishes and continues to celebrate.
