Joe Wilson

Member since September 2015 Rockport, United States

Background: Captain Joe Wilson has been fishing since he learned how to walk. One day his dad put a rod and reel in his hand, and the rest is history! He’s been running charters out of Corpus Christi since 2009 and what he loves most about his job is meeting new people, teaching beginners how to fish, and putting smiles on customers’ faces. Before he began running charters, Capt. Joe was a competitive Bass circuit tournament angler. He’s also a military veteran and enjoys taking other former and current service members out on the water for a fun day of fishing. Next time you’re in the Port Aransas–Corpus Christi area, come fishing with Lil Joe’s Guide Service and get ready for the ultimate saltwater adventure!

Lil Joe provided a top notch service for me and my three boys. He was extremely patient, answering our questions and teaching us how to hook and land red drum. Everything that was posted in the fishing booker profile regarding what is provided is accurate - all we had to do was show up with our drinks and snacks. Lil Joe was mindful of our safety and kept a close eye on the weather. Overall, it was a great experience. We left with 5 red fish, some of which we had cooked at Virginia’s in Port... More

We spent the morning with Captain Joe Wilson in Aransas Bay. Caught more than our share so threw some back, gave some away, and ate the rest for My husband’s 81st birthday. Trout & Redfish, plus hardhead catfish we threw back. We enjoyed seeing sunrise, dolphins, beautiful birds, and being on the water. Captain Joe is a fish finder extraordinaire. He cleaned & fileted for us. Would highly recommend & fish with Joe again. Thanks Captain Joe😎

It was a great trip. Went one place and it was kinda slow so Joe moved locations and put us on the red fish. We even caught some we had to use our tags on, it was a great experience, thanks Joe!

This was our first time out fishing in the Flats! Captain Joe was knowledgeable about the local marine life, wildlife and fauna. He was professional, respectful and patient with us as we navigated our first time fishing! We plan on booking another trip next time we’re in Port Aransas with Captain Joe!!
