COVID-19 update: Capt. Joe can take up to 5 guests, onboard masks are optional.

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.

With a plethora of species that could find their way to your line and a friendly knowledgeable captain to lead the way, you’re in for a productive day on the water. Go after the inshore VIPs and come home with a mixed bag of catch. You will be targeting anything from Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder to King Mackerel, Cobia, and Blacktip Shark.

You will be using quality rods, Penn reels, and lures will also be provided. At the end of your expedition, the captain will clean and fillet the catch for you, so that you don’t have to go through that hassle.

Whether you choose a half-day or a full-day trip, you will need a reliable boat to take you to that red-hot bite. 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. Depending on what you want to catch, you will be traveling to the site anywhere from 5-30 minutes.

Trips with Gojoe 1 are suitable for novices and seasoned anglers alike, there’s more than enough thrill and fish for every level. Capt. Joe welcomes kids aboard, just remember to pack their favorite life vest. Bring your fishing license, favorite snacks, and drinks and head out to a new inshore fishing adventure!

Lots of Fish!

VERIFIED

Thank you Captain Joe for the amazing fishing trip! My dad was visiting from out of state and wanted to take his grandkids fishing, and boy did we catch some fish. We must have caught between 40-50 fish in a four hour timeframe. There was about 10 different species ranging from trout, stingray, eel, skipjack, and many more. Captain Joe took us to four different spots, and in each spot we were catching fish. He was friendly, professional, organized, and very knowledgeable. The weather was perfect! The fishing was perfect! Lots of pictures were taken and memories made! 5 stars for sure!

Captain Joe was awesome! We had two kids (14 & 7) and this was their first real fishing experience other than just off the dock. They had a great time and learned pretty quickly. Joe took the time to teach them how to bait and cast the lines. We caught fish, had fun, and even saw some dolphins.

Joe proved to be an excellent captain during our fishing trip. My six-year-old son and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Joe demonstrated exceptional skill with children, taking the time to teach my son how to cast with great patience and friendliness. He interacted well with him, ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the trip. Joe even made a stop at the marina for my son to use the restroom, which we greatly appreciated. Despite the choppy waters, Joe prioritized our safety, and my son was delighted with his first fishing experience. Additionally, Joe kept my son engaged by showing him how to handle live shrimp while we waited for the fish to bite. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would certainly choose Joe's services again.

My husband and I and our 3 boys (ages 12, 11, and 7) had a great experience with Joe. Aside from my husband, this was our first time fishing. Joe was very patient teaching us how to fish, and we all learned a lot on our trip. I was afraid my kids would get bored, but Joe kept them all very engaged. Each of us had caught fish. We plan on booking with him again.
