Captain Joe did a fantastic job from the very start! We were underway on time and quickly made our way to the first spot. Mangrove Snappers were hungry and Joe had bait on the line and fish off the hook in rapid succession! After about an hour we pulled anchor and made our way toward the middle of the bay. There we reeled in a few Red Snapper and wrestled with a more agressive fish. The Spanish Makeral were hitting lines like crazy! After we caught our fill we headed back to the dock where Captain Joe fileted all our fish and bagged them for us. The Makeral were great lightly breaded with some lemon butter sauce. We highly recommend having Captain Joe take you on your next Tampa Bay fishing trip!
We had an amazing family fishing trip! Our captain had a fantastic sense of humor and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. He knew exactly where to take us, and we hit our limits on trout! We even reeled in a red and a jack. Friendly, knowledgeable, and a great attitude—couldn't have asked for a better day on the water!
Great day on the boat! Joe is the best and I’m planning more Charters with him.
Joe was awesome. He worked his butt off to get fish in the boat during the dog days of summer. We caught several speckled trout and a small shark. Joe met every need of our family and really meshed well, he even talked a little crap which we all enjoyed. 5 stars
I can not thank Capt Joe enough. We had a wonderful time. He made my family feel right at home and he put us on fish. I highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Your captain
Tampa, Florida, United States
Fishing has always been my passion! I grew up in Tampa Bay and have fished here all my life. I can't wait to show you the waters I've grown to love. I prefer light tackle fishing and shallow water sight fishing. From time to time I target Mackerel, Cobia, and Tarpon, but my main targets are Snook and Redfish.
