Friendly and knowledgeable Captain!
Had an amazing time with Justy Joe on Lake George! Professional, friendly, and knew all the best spots. We caught plenty of fish and had a blast—highly recommend!
We had an absolutely amazing time last week with Justy Joe Charters on Lake George! Our captain for the day was Captain Joe, and from start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. We caught plenty of lake trout, thanks to Joe’s expert knowledge of the lake and deep water fishing techniques. He knew exactly where to go, constantly adjusting our course to keep us in the action. It was clear that he not only knows the sport inside and out but also genuinely enjoys sharing it with others. Beyond fishing, we learned so much about the history of the lake, the ecosystem, and the techniques involved in deep lake fishing. Joe’s personality is a huge part of what made the trip so special—he’s warm, funny, and engaging, and he made sure everyone was having a blast, even during our brief rain delay (which honestly just added to the adventure!). Whether you're an experienced angler or brand new to fishing, we can’t recommend Justy Joe Charters highly enough. It's the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Lake George and create lasting memories. We'll definitely be back!
Thank you very much for the kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed having you guys on my boat. Can’t wait to fish with you again. Thanks for booking with me
We had an incredible day on the water! Joe was so friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly a true fisherman at heart. He made the entire trip, fun, relaxing, and memorable. We ended up catching 11 huge, beautiful fish— it was more than we could have hoped for. Joe went above and beyond to help us create and capture lasting memories. We are already planning to go again next summer. Highly recommended!
We set out on a cold rainy day with Captain Steve, he was very welcoming shared a lot of stories/history of the area, and was ready to go when the fish started biting. It wasn’t the greatest day of fishing, but still an awesome time all around. We will definitely be back again, and I’m sure the other crews are great, but Steve went above and beyond to show us a great time on Lake George.
Thank you very much for booking with us and thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do a review. Steve has been with us for over 25 years and not only works very hard for our clients but is a pleasure to be with the water. And yessss, he has some good stories. Lol hope the fish with you down the road. Captain Joe Greco.

I started fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 and developed a passion for fishing. I received my captain's license in 1991 and have been running charters ever since. I have a penchant for fishing and really enjoy seeing people fishing with friends and family. We especially enjoy introducing kids to the great sport of fishing.
