Took my kids out for a two hour trip with Captain Joe. Was an absolute blast! Landed a few big blues. Captain Joe was the ultimate professional. Would love to come back. Ari S.

I took my sons fishing with Joe. He’s a great captain and his knowledge of NYC Harbor’s waters is excellent and arguably incomparable. He did a great job getting us on many fish (in several locations) managing tangles and dodging harbor traffic. Overall my kids had a great time.

My father had me fishing at around age 5. I got hooked pretty hard and quickly. Fishing is practically all I do. Taking people fishing is a truly fulfilling job. I also fish with The Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, also known as B.A.S.S., Major League Fishing, previously called FLW, and American Bass Anglers. My son, Captain Hunter, worked as my mate since age 9. Now he's a licensed Captain who knows all my tricks plus adds his own expertise to the day.
