    Fishing with Captain Joe

    6-7Hour Trip Inshore – For 2 People

    This was a great experience. We had an excellent day of fishing. I thoroughly enjoyed fishing with Captain Joe we were fortunate to catch some really good Redfish. Captain Joe was a total professional and extremely friendly and helpful. He knew the area very well and put me on the fish. I would 100% recommend fishing with him and look forward to doing it again.

    Some days you just have to get the bait in the water to make it happen!

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Inshore Trip PM – 3 People • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Joe was a wonderful guide. We caught a 3 man limit of redfish in less than an hour. I took my two boys, 8 & 6, and they had a great time and Captain Joe was great to work with.

    Our family has done several trips with Captain Joe. He is easy to book with, communicates well, and makes sure we have a great time, every time. He is very knowledgeable and knows where to take us to make sure we don’t come back empty handed. The kids always have a blast and look forward to our trips. Highly recommend Captain Joe!

What's biting with Just Reel in St. Bernard

Fall fishing begins and it's all about light tackle and natural bait. This is the best time to target schools of Trout. Fishing for Specks in Shell Beach can be especially fruitful.
