About
About Caught Lookin Charters
Captain Jim Hobales was born and raised in South Florida. In the early years he learned to fish his home waters of Miami’s Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys. In the early 1980’s he was introduced to Flamingo, at Everglades National Park, it was a life changing experience. Captain Jim became obsessed with the flats fishing charters in both Florida Bay as well as Whitewater Bay in the backcountry. No matter if it was sight casting on the flats to tailing Redfish, plugging a shoreline for Snook or casting a fly at rolling Tarpon.
