Rigid Fishing Charters
Rigid Fishing Charters offers an amazing experience everyone should enjoy. Captain Joe and first Mate Junior is here to take you on a lovely day out in the bay or offshore in search of the excitement. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join, so don’t miss out on a chance to learn something new!
You’ll be fishing on a 25’ Wellcraft that accommodates up to 4 guests. This boat is powered by two 150 HP Yamaha engines that lets her run up to 40 knots.
inshore/nearshore spots offer a variety of fish species to target, with some of them being Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Snook, and Jacks. If you head out nearshore, you’ll have a chance to go after different Shark species as well, such as Blacktip, Bull, and Nurse Shark. We also provide offshore trips for those looking to fish for different bottom fish in deeper waters.
Your guide covers your fishing licenses and brings rods and reels, so all you need to worry about is bringing a light snack and sunscreen. Capt. Joe also provides lures and live bait for your convenience.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an avid fisherman or a novice, Captain Joe will show you the utmost respect and assist you with all your needs. So what are you waiting for? Book a trip with Rigid Fishing!

Half day – Inshore Slam (AM)
Morning Inshore Slam.
Went out with Cap't Joe. Nice guy, knew the water, and put on some fish right away. Nothing we could keep, too small, then they just shut down. That's the way it goes with fishing, one minute they biting anything, the next nothing. He took us a couple other places, but nothing was biting, saw some fish in the water, and cast to them, but if they ain't biting, you catch them. Overall, great time. Only rating overall as 4 instead of 5, cause of the fish not biting, but as I said that isn't Joe's fault.

Half day – Inshore Slam (AM)
4-hour morning
It was a great day! Joseph started us off in the mangroves and then we moved to the flats. He was always looking to put us on fish. We caught some snapper, flounder and a puffer fish. He tried his best to get us on some trout and redfish and snook. We didn’t bring anything home, but that’s fishing sometimes. But it was still a great morning and I can say we tried our best in that time. I would highly recommend this charter to everyone. 10/10 in my book.

Half Day trip with Captain Joseph
I had not fished in over 25 years and my grandson had never been fishing. Joseph worked with us and by the end of the trip my grandson was casting much better than me. Although we did not catch any "big fish " it was not Joseph's fault. He took us to numerous "fishing holes" but the big fish weren't bitting. We had a good time and most importantly I got to see my grandson catch his first fish. Thanks Joseph

If you can't tell by the pictures we caught alot of different fish! But that is because Captain Joseph kept us on fish from the jump! This young man was great and knowledgeable about the area and the fish life here. If you want more from your fishing trip and want to learn the area and how to do things right, go with Rigid fishing charters! Thank you Joseph for a great day!

Half day trip with Captain Jo
Put us on fish in all spots on our inshore fishing excursion. We were hoping to learn how to catch fish in Southwest Florida and learnt a lot about the area we were fishing from Captain Jo. We had dolphins and manitees near our boat so that was very cool. Looking forward to the next fishing trip!
