Capt. Joey was great. Perfect boat for inshore fishing and getting into skinny water spots. Caught lots of Snook. Super nice guy and very helpful. Would definitely book again with Capt. Joey.
Thank you Jason. It was a pleasure fishing with you and your family. i hope to do it again sometime.
Started slow for the targeted fish. Captain Joey made a bait change on the fly, which was pretty cool, and then it was game on. We were 2 short of maxing out on or daily limit of Snapper. Had a great time!

Your captain
Fort Myers Beach, Florida, United States
Having grown up in Southwest Florida, I developed a passion for fishing at a young age. As a child, I began fishing in the ponds around my home. At 5 years old, my grandfather introduced me to saltwater fishing. As a teenager, I started fishing in local tournaments and started to develop my knowledge of the surrounding waters. From there my passion grew to become my livelihood.
