Shallow Water Guide Service offers exciting fishing trips in the beautiful and bountiful waters of Cape Coral, Florida! The charter is operated by Captain Joey Shogren, who is a dedicated shallow water guide. He specializes in fishing for tailing Redfish, Trout, and other local species.
Capt. Joey will take you fishing aboard his 24' Yellowfin bay boat which is ideal for both the local bays and the deeper waters offshore. She's the ideal choice for 5 anglers looking to have a productive day. Powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, with a maximum cruising speed of over 60 knots, this boat is super fast and efficient.
The vessel is equipped with all the necessary safety gear including life jackets for adults and kids, and Capt. Joey is CPR-trained. There's also GPS and Fishfinder, which you'll use to locate schooling fish, a wireless trolling motor to access the hard-to-reach spots, a fighting chair, a livewell, and an icebox.
When it comes to the fish, the main species that rule these waters are Redfish, Snook, and Trout. Tarpon, also known as the 'Silver King,' can be easily tracked down when in season, too! If you book a full day trip you're also likely to have a chance at Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, and Blacktip Shark.
Shallow Water Guide Service provides top-of-the-line Penn and Shimano rods and reels, as well as a wide range of tackle and bait. There's also bottled water and Gatorade to help yourself to.
At the end of the trip, your catch will be cleaned and filleted for easy transport home. All you have to do it get a good night's sleep in before the trip and get ready to fight countless fish that will bite your hook!

The captain was awesome, very down to earth and knowledgeable on the fish and where they was at. Every spot we pulled up to had bites within a minute. Caught trout, snook, ladyfish, and jack. Seen dolphins too!
Thank you for the 5-star review Jamie. It was a pleasure fishing with you both. Enjoy the fish dinner and i hope to fish with you again
Capt. Joey did an excellent job as always. We targeted Tarpon, but to no avail. We did however catch a bunch of Snook and Speckled Sea Trout.

If you’re looking for a great time on the water with an experienced captain then book your trip with Shallow Water Guide Service! Captain Joey was a breeze to work with and a true professional on the water. I’m not joking when I say the first spot on the first cast we were catching fish! Our group took the 4 hour night trip targeting Snook. Between the four of us we caught more than 40 Snook, a couple Snapper and one Crab! In the words of my 18 year old son “That was awesome and Captain Joey is the f***ing man!
Thank you very much Sean! It was a great time fishing with you and your family. I hope to do it again someday.

Your captain
Having grown up in Southwest Florida, I developed a passion for fishing at a young age. As a child, I began fishing in the ponds around my home. At 5 years old, my grandfather introduced me to saltwater fishing. As a teenager, I started fishing in local tournaments and started to develop my knowledge of the surrounding waters. From there my passion grew to become my livelihood.
