Captain Frank Hutchko
From the Jersey canyons to the Florida Gulf.
Captain Frank has been fishing professionally for over 26 years. His experience spans from Long Beach Island, NJ to Hatteras, NC to the Bahamas — chartering 24-hour canyon tuna trips, chasing giant bluefin, and trolling the Gulf Stream for blue marlin, yellowfin, wahoo and mahi.
The last 17 years have been spent sharing ultimate fishing experiences with clients off the Florida Gulf Coast — deep dropping for massive grouper, red snapper, hogfish, and trolling for kingfish, sailfish, blackfin tuna, cobia, mahi and wahoo.
Get ready for a rod-bending, heart-racing adventure. Prior to your trip, Captain Frank will be in touch to tailor your experience. You will catch fish on the Skirtchaser, or we pay for the trip.

Top-of-the-line Penn, Shimano and Seapower Tanicom 1200 electric reels (on 10/12 hour trips), live bait already onboard, custom bean bag chairs for the ride, and a clean private head. We guarantee she's the cleanest charter boat you'll ever step foot on.
