The Story Behind Hit List Fishing Charters
Hit List Fishing Charters was built on a lifelong friendship, a shared passion for the water, and a dream that started long before either captain ever ran a boat.
Growing up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Captains Wade Wells and Joey Davis spent countless hours fishing together, talking about the fish they wanted to catch, the places they wanted to explore, and one day making a living doing what they loved most. What began as two childhood friends chasing fish has grown into a professional charter operation dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences on the Gulf.
The name Hit List comes from the mindset that drives every trip, a list of target species and fishing goals waiting to be checked off. Every trip is an opportunity to cross another fish off the list.
Today, Hit List Fishing Charters combines decades of experience, a passion for offshore fishing, and a commitment to customer service. Our goal is simple: provide a safe, exciting, and memorable day on the water while helping anglers of all skill levels catch the fish they’ve always dreamed of.
For us, it’s more than fishing. It’s living the dream that started with two friends and a love for the Gulf.
