Reel Lucky Fishing Charters 

Captain put us on fish and we were hooking up within minutes of being at the spot. he and the first mate were well experienced in the Tampa bay waters. I learned some new tricks. we caught Redfish, red snapper, grouper, and jacks! hooked into something huge as well without boating it. Captain was quite pleasant and professional and didn’t talk too much. we caught one last fish right at the four hour mark and he stayed for a while longer just to make sure we didn’t miss out on any more good fish bite! very cool.

The original trip we booked with another Charter got canceled because of weather so, at 10:00 the night before we were supposed to go out we were scrambling to try to find somebody that would take us despite the fact that it was going to be raining. Captain Joe had a charter already booked in the morning but he offered to take us out in the afternoon and do his best despite the weather forecast. He let us know up front that we may have to turn around and it might not work out but we really appreciated the effort. Not only did we not have to turn around we had a great time and caught lots of fish. Yes it was a bit cold and rainy but despite that they he and Chris stayed out the full time and made sure that we were able catch plenty of fish. We weren't able to go as far out as we would have liked to because of the weather so a lot of them were small but we did get plenty of Keepers too. We are already planning a trip back when the weather is better!

Captain Joe moved to several spots to get us on several species of fish. Deck hand job was great!! He was kind, helpful, and fast you just can't ask for more. I highly recommend reel lucky! Thank you guys for a great experience.

Joesph and Chris were two of the best captains we have ever experienced. Not only were they both extremely friendly, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect(not to mention we caught a shark)!!!!! The trip went longer than normal to make sure that we experienced everything. We have now found our two go to guys for our yearly charter.

My overall experience has been great the charter was phenomenal! Captain Joe with reel lucky is great! So knowledgeable! We caught fish all day! I will definitely go with him again and highly recommend. He even brings his chihuahua Batman. His mate Chris was so helpful the whole day. Really great experience. Really great guys even Batman! Looking forward to the next trip.

Captain and first mate were great caught a bunch of fish to cook at home definitely would recommend!

Capt Joe and First Mate Chris do an excellent job during the entire experience. Both were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and put us on fish despite some wind and murky waters. Look forward to seeing them again on our next trip.

Captain was great putting us on the fish. I loved that the captain still gets excited when he fishes. Mate did an excellent job making sure poles always baited and cast.

Me and my three sons had an amazing time. The captain was knowledgeable and friendly. The crew was great we were always baited and in the water!

Family fishing with Captain Joe, his crew and Batman! Kids ages 6 and 4 at the time had an absolute blast! Crushing sheepshead off the piles and tight lines almost the entire time. Kids were absolutely ecstatic! Just booked another trip for May 2024 because the kids can’t wait to get back out there.
