    Great fishing experience with Joey

    Joey Flats Fishing Everglades 4hr on September 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a great time fishing with Joey. He worked very hard to help us catch fish and carefully explained the best fishing spots and how to cast. He was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the trip. We really appreciated his effort and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Everglades as well. It was a memorable experience and I would definitely recommend this trip.

    Captain Jose IS THE MAN!!

    Joey Flats Fishing Everglades 8hr on May 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    Highly recommend Captain Jose to anyone. Started the trip as strangers, ended the day as BOYS. He will make you feel like you are apart of his family and accommodate for any needs. He also knows some super loaded spots, our lines were tight more often than not. 10/10 experience, thank you again Captain Jose, I will see you again next time I am in the area.

Well I got into a bad work accident, I decided if I was going to die at work I rather die fishing! So I opened a charter business and got my captains license. I like to fish because it's not a team sport: you don't need anyone to do it and when you add people it just gets better! My favorite species are Snook, Reds, and Cobia .

    Highly reccomend going out with Capt Joey! He put myself, my dad, and my brother on plenty of nice fish throughout the day. Joey was super nice and is very knowledgeable of the South Florida area. Definitely make sure to bring sunscreen and bug spray when going out during the summer.

    I booked a trip with Captain Joey to celebrate my son‘s 13th birthday. He did a great job checking in with us before the trip. Everything we needed on the boat was ready to go. He did a great job explaining to us the history of the national park as well as sharing some stories of when he fished this area when he was younger. Every spot he took us to was a great spot for fishing. When the spot ran a little cold, he was ready to move onto the next spot. My son had a great birthday and so did his cousin who we also brought along for the trip. I can’t thank him enough. I highly recommend that you book your trip with Captain Joey.
