Captain
Joe Mercurio III

Member since January 2019 Key West, United States
Background
Capt. Joe has been fishing for the past 37 years, and has been a licensed captain for 27 of then. He was born and raised in Key West, so it's safe to say he knows these waters like the back of his hand. When it comes to the boat you'll be fishing from, it's pretty much a piece of Key West history – Capt. Joe's father owned the boat before him. This family's tradition of fishing doesn't stop there, though. Capt. Joe's grandfather had one of the first charterboats in Key West in the late 40's. Come aboard and make yourself a part of Floridian fishing history!

Full Day

Tolling all day. Nothing worth keeping, but we all caught a few. The floating sea grass kept the mate busy all day keeping...
