We fished following a cold spell that kept us from reef fishing as planned.  Caught a couple of Bonitas while trolling out.  Fishing was slow so I had mentioned earlier that maybe the younger men on the trip would like to catch a shark for fun.  We trolled for barracuda to use for bait and caught them quickly.  Barracuda were interesting to see close up.  The younger men each caught a 5’+ reef shark and it made their trip.  First time sea fishing for both the guys and they loved it.  The captain knew his stuff and answered everyone’s questions with ease.  I highly recommend Conch Too charters.

This was our first deep sea fishing trip and Joel made a point to ask what we’re wanting to catch. We say big because we’re from Colorado and not much big there. He did not disappoint. We caught 2 sail fish right off the bat and tuna’s after that. Very patient and knowledgeable about fishing. He will be our first stop when back in Key West. Every catch was just as exciting for Joel as us which shows how passionate he is about fishing. You will not regret it I promise you!!

We had a great trip with Conch Too, Joel put in the work to make sure everyone had a good time and caught fish. Even though we knew that the Sailfish/Wahoo bite was slow he still put in all the effort to try and get us on one. After giving it his best effort, he decided to go back in towards the reef and go for Snapper/Mackerel. We managed to put a good mess of fish in the boat and had a great time. Joel was also great with my 6 yr old the entire trip, letting him ask all the questions and be involved every step of the way. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to go fishing with him again!

I booked a 6 hr morning charter with Joel for my family of 4. Prior to the trip Joel communicated with me to make sure any questions were answered.  The day of the trip we were able to park right at the boat and we were off the dock right on time.  Joel took the time to ask us what we wanted to target and provided some great advice.  The boat was comfortable, very clean, and all the tackle was in excellent condition.  We had a productive day and caught a variety of fish. We really enjoyed fishing with Joel, not only is he an excellent fisherman, but was friendly and engaging.  My wife hauling in a good size barracuda was fantastic and we ended up with a bunch of nice size mutton, mackerel, and a small shark (which the boys thought was cool).  Joel and Tony cleaned all the fish and let us know of a great local spot that prepared it.  If you are looking for a great day on the water with a quality captain I would highly recommend Joel on The Conch Too.  Looking forward to our next trip.

From the moment we arrived at the dock, the entire experience was outstanding. The crew was knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough in explaining every aspect of the trip. Joel demonstrated great professionalism and put us on the fish right from the start. The captain remained attentive throughout the day, ensuring everything ran smoothly and safely.

This trip was far more than just a day of fishing — it was an educational and memorable experience. We located the bait, caught the bait, and successfully caught our fish, all with the guidance of an excellent crew.

Thank you, Conch Too Charters, for an exceptional outing. I will certainly return and highly recommend your services to anyone visiting Key West for a quality fishing experience.
