courteous captain shows us a great time on a beautiful day!
Half Day 4 hrs Inshore Morning on April 3, 20264 adults

Captain Joe was easy to communicate with was flexible. Captain Joe arranged a trip for my family and showed us a great time although the fish were not biting a lot. We did catch them my teenage children and my wife all had a great time. It helped that the day was beautiful, but I think that even if it wasn’t, we would’ve had a great time I would recommend barefoot charters and captain Joe to anyone who asked thanks Captain Joe.

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
Response from Captain

Thank you for a great time on the water. A little windy but you guys rocked it.

Nature and shelling trip fishing on June 3, 20262 adults

Our captain was very friendly and eager to help us have a good trip for our anniversary. He adjusted schedule based on weather forecast. my husband caught a small trout and a puffer. no catches for me. We did see some dolphin and manatee activity. A good day but not the fishing success we had hoped for.

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
Response from Captain

So sorry the bite was slow but we did beat the rain.
