Captain Joel is on the water 300 days per year, and he loves every minute of it. This very experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He's a native of Florida and has traveled the world over for fish. He used to be a child psychologist for 20 years and focused on childhood grief issues and grief counseling. He's also a co-creator of two published kids' books. Captain Joel loves acquainting his guests with the most epic fish, which he believes are exactly where he is from – the Gulf of Mexico!
