Get onto the water with Slobby Joe Charters and ready yourself for some of the most exciting inshore action you could ask for. Explore Tampa Bay’s endless flats and backwaters to target a who’s who of inshore favorites! 

With Captain “Slobby” Joe, you'll get way more than just great fishing. He aims to give everyone he guides the full Tampa experience, learning about the local waters, and getting truly immersed in this unique corner of America.

Captain Joe’s 23' Ranger bay boat is a purpose-built shallow-water explorer, designed to make her way deftly through the murky sandbanks and backwaters which Tampa Bay is best known for. 

Combine her shallow draft with her silent trolling motor, and you have yourself the ultimate weapon in your hunt for the big Bull Reds and super-sized Snook which lurk in wait for some tasty bait or realistic lure to be cast their way. 

Head out into the bay, and the vessel still holds her own, with high-tech electronics able to pinpoint the most active spots in the area. Troll for Spanish Mackerel, or wrestle some giant Jack's onto the boat for pure angling pleasure. 

Whatever you target, you can do so with confidence, knowing you are using nothing but the best fishing tackle to tackle nothing but the best fish!

The real X-factor with Slobby Joe Charters is the captain himself. Despite his name, Captain Joe is anything but a slob, jumping to every challenge with an energy that can only ever come from true passion from the sport. 

He is a man determined to make a name for himself and to build his reputation as one of the most dedicated and welcoming captains operating in this highly-competitive fishing paradise. So climb aboard and see for yourself why his clients keep coming back time after time!

Beginner

This trip is a super skinny water advanced angler trip, or for someone who wants to target Tampa Bay with artificial lures! That’s right getting the pesky Tampa Bay fish to feed on fake baits. It can be some of the most exciting yet frustrating fishing out there, but if I have a day off it’s exactly what I would go do! 

Artificial Lure

Beginner (PM)

Get out on the water for a morning targeting top inshore species like Redfish, Snook, Cobia, Sheepshead, and more on this 4-hour charter. You'll use gear, bait, and lures provided by Capt. Joe. Bring along any snacks and drinks you'd like to enjoy on board and you're good to go!

Half Day Trip (AM)

Spend the afternoon targeting Snook, Redfish, Sheepshead, Jack's, and more in the famous Tampa Bay! This 4-hour trip gives you ample time to make good use of the gear provided by Capt. Joe and go home with some tasty fish. Bring along snacks, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing and you're good to go!

Half Day Trip (PM)

The choice is yours and if you want to take a break for lunch at one of the area's great dockside restaurants, the captain will be happy to oblige!
