About Lane

Your guide for a morning on the water near Fellsmere, Florida.

"I've fished my whole life, including some of the biggest tournaments around. But Hooked & Happy isn't about tournament fishing. It's about putting you on fish, enjoying the water, and making sure you leave with a story worth telling."

— Lane, Hooked & Happy

The idea behind the boat

It's not about Lane's résumé. It's about your day on the water.

Lane has the experience to take fishing very seriously — tournament-level experience, in fact. But Hooked & Happy was built around a simpler idea: come out for four hours, catch fish, have a good time, and go home with a story worth telling. He wants beginners to feel comfortable, experienced anglers to have a great day, and kids to feel the excitement of a bite on the line.

Putting you on fish

Lane's fished his whole life, including some of the biggest tournaments around. That experience is what makes a four-hour trip with him actually productive.

Comfortable for everyone

Beginners, vacationers, snowbirds, couples and seasoned anglers all fish the same boat. Lane meets you where you're at.

Great with kids

Watching a kid reel in their first fish is half the reason Lane does this. Families are always welcome.

Come see for yourself.

Four hours, one boat, Fellsmere, Florida. Whether it's your first cast or your thousandth, Lane will have you catching fish and laughing by the end of the morning.
