Background
Capt. Joseph runs trips out of Sarasota aboard a 25’ Parker. These waters are known for Snappers and Groupers and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or jigging. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
