We had so much fun fishing! We caught fish bigger than we ever have before. The sun eventually came out and in total we caught 5 redfish (which were plenty for us to eat and a lot of fun to reel in!) We saw some dolphins on the way out and a stingray as well. It was also nice just being us and the captain on the little boat versus bigger charter trips. Definitely recommend! He also cleans and bags the fish for you and we got to see a bunch of nice pelicans begging for fish!

I can’t say enough good things about our trip with Capt. Joe. It was myself, My wife and our two teenagers. Joe was excellent and patient with the kids. He taught us all what to do and we caught a bunch of trout and sheeps head on a not so great weather day. Capt. Joe was so easy to talk to, like we have known him for ever. We were also catching fish literally 5 minutes after leaving the dock!  I would highly recommend Capt. Joe and we will definitely fish with him again when we are in the area.

Short version- tough fishing conditions, Capt. Joe worked hard and got our goals met. He was a great communicator from when trip was booked till day of trip.

Long version- Capf. Joe took us out on a morning after a front blew through. Conditions included, temp drops, rain, heavy clouds and then temp rise again. Fishing was tough, but he never gave up. His efforts to get myself and 9yr old son on some fish never let up.  Brylan’s 1st redfish will always be one of my fondest memories that I will keep with me forever. Capt. Joe has patience, solid teaching techniques and dedication. You can tell his passion for fishing runs deep. Brylan didn’t want the day to end and honestly neither did I. Thank you Capt. Joe and be on the look out for us to be scheduling another trip with you soon but…...probably a full day!

FYI…..fishingbooker.com also does an awesome job keeping in touch with you and sends out reminders. This is great if your captain doesn’t but as I stated previously our Capt. Joe was very professional and kept in close communication with me about our trip.

Joe worked diligently to make sure we had a great fishing experience. The fish were a little slow to bite, but Joe continually adjusted our position to find fish that would bite. This trip was a birthday surprise for my son turning seven. Joe was excellent with helping my son understand how to reel in the fish on his hook. My son caught three different species of fish, making him the one on our trip with the best variety of fish. He was very patient with my son when he got tired and a little whiny. We gave my son a break and then he took on a second round of fishing. Joe took everything in stride and facilitated us having a great fishing experience. I would recommend him to anyone, and will certainly use him again when I get to go fishing again.

Tough conditions with heat wind stained water but Captain Joe kept woking through it.  The first fish of the day was my 4 year old grandsons first fish ever, a keeper trout .  Can’t thank you enough for that one Joe.  After that we caught3 more keeper trout as well as a few small ones.  After the trout bite stopped we shifted gears to Reds.  Caught 2 keeper reds and several smaller ones before we called it a day.  Next time here to Port A I will plan my trip around when Lil Joe has an open date.  I have fished with several guides here in the coastal bend and none of them has worked as hard as Joe to put us on fish.  Thanks and see you next time around my friend
