Had an amazing time with my son smallmouth fishing around the islands on Lake Erie. Part of a graduation trip for my son. Captain Joe did not disappoint! Great guide! Very knowledgeable and firendly. Loves being on the water making the best experience for his clients. An absolute beautiful boat and setup. Loaded with electronics and great fishing gear!He took time explaining his Livescope setup and showing what to look for, which my son thought was awesome! Joe worked hard to get us on some fish! Caught several nice smallmouth and of course some giant drums. Beautiful weather, awesome boat/equipment, great guide, time fishing with my son. What more can you ask for?!? An overall amazing experience and great memories! Book with Joe and you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you very much awesome day!

I threw Joe a curve ball when we met up in the morning for our trip. He handled the situation as a professional and with care. The boat was fantastic, fishing was great, and Joe wass extremely attentive during the entire trip. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe for a fishing trip to any of my friends.

thank you again!! good day
Hammerd them!!! Best day of Small mouth fishing ever!

Joe has an excellent Ranger rig with all the electronics ( Lowrance and Garmin). Better yet…he thoroughly knows how to use them. we fished two days and caught a lot of Smallmouth Bass in the 3-4.7 range.

Fishing has been my passion since I was a young boy. That passion led to serious fishing during high school. After high school, I began guiding professionally in Alaska and Ohio, and I've been doing what I love every day since.
