You've probably heard of the amazing Corpus Christi fishery, and with Gojoe 1 and Captain Joe Salas at the helm, you will get a chance to explore it. Your guide has been fishing in the area for over two decades and he's ready to take out excited anglers to the best fishing grounds.

Captain Joe's 25' Sundance center console is freshly restored in 2018 and outfitted with a 200 HP Suzuki engine which makes her stable and swift. There's room for up to 6 people on board to cast their lines and test their luck, and the fishfinder will increase your odds of getting to the best fish quickly.

A fishing charter with Joe was my Christmas present to my boyfriend! My boyfriend is an experienced fisherman, however I’m a complete beginner. We both had the best time. Joe was extremely helpful, fun to talk to, and we both caught a ton of fish! We highly recommend Joe and will definitely fish with him again.

First time fishing in TX. Captain Joe was friendly and easy to talk with. He put us on fish at the first stop and it continued at the other spots. We caught Shephead, Reds, Black Drum, and Trout. 3 people in our group had not fished on a charter before and are now hooked! It was a winning day for everyone!!
