Captain Joey VanDyke has been fishing since he was just a little boy, his love for the water formed his full-time occupation of fishing for a living. He started his career fishing in 1985 mating on offshore boats and continued through the summers until he graduated college and turned it to full-time year-round fishing. He fishes the rivers and the salt waters and knows exactly where to go to find fish. He is a calm and patient person who loves taking kids out and teaching them about the fisheries and how to preserve them. Captain Joey prides himself in knowing and learning all about fish by studying their feeding habits, habitats, growth cycles, and life cycles.
