Big Joe's Guide Service 

We opted for the 2 hr trip because of the kids. Took my dad and my 9 and 11 year old boys. Capt. Joe was very patient abd great with the kids. The bite wasnt great but Capt. Joe dud his best to put us on fish. caught a mixed bag of pin fish, vlsck sea bass, puffers and Sheepshead. my 9 year old was thrilled with the 5 lb Sheepshead he caught. He cant stop talking about it. We will be back.

Let me just start out saying, if I could give more than five stars I would! Big Joe was truly amazing. Both my son and I are experienced outdoors people. Big Joe has his PhD in fishing, we both got an incredible education with him. Not only was he professional, knowledgeable but extremely personable! We will definitely go fishing with him again!

Joe was very friendly and was great with our 4 boys ranging in age from 4-10. We were looking for something that was on the shorter side and on the bogue side of the island (we weren’t sure stomachs could handle rough water) and this was perfect for that. We saw dolphins and he got us pretty close to watch them for a few minutes before continuing on to fish. Joe was very down to earth and moved us a few different locations to try and get us catching fish. We would definitely recommend for a family outing.

Beat fishing trip ever! started off slow as nothing was biting, but Cpt Joe didnt give up and found us a few new places. In the end, we caught 9 sharks total and it was the best experience ever! 5 stars to Joe and overall experience as a whole! We will be back and will only request him. Thanks again!!

My wife and I took our 6 and 7 year old on the 2 hour fishing trip today and it was fantastic, making memories that will last a lifetime! They both caught a bunch of fish (mostly sharks) and had the best time. We will be booking with Big Joe again next year!

This was an amazing family experience! The captain was great with our girls and so knowledgeable! Thankful for a super fun trip!! We were each able to catch a good one (3 sheepsheads and 1 flounder that had fo go back since it wasn’t in season)

1/2 day AM trip with 6 Year Old. Second charter out with Josef. Will keep coming back..Josef knows what the fish our biting. will be back for future trips. He put us in the right places with the right bait. awesome With kiddo.

we caught 8 different species. Really nice captain

Captain Josef did an amazing job. Not only did we catch a wide variety of fish, he also gave lots of interesting information about each species we caught. He was incredibly pleasant and easy to talk to, and clearly had excellent knowledge about the area and best spots to fish. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun day out on the water!

The bite was tough. But Captain Joe worked his butt off to get us on some fish. So I will definitely be going in the future. Thanks again
