Captain
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!

Full Day Trip

Captain Joe was very accommodating and since we were flexible with location, he put us on fish. His experience showed. He was patient with my 12 yr old son on his first trip and was almost as excited as my son when he landed a 31 inch bull Red. I know some luck was in play, but the fish envy was evident at the cleaning station. Great setup. Great trip. Can’t wait to do it again

Captain Joe was great. He has a great relationship with several of the other guides in the area, who all worked together to put each of their customers on fish. He brought several types of bait on board and continuously improvised by moving or swapping bait until he found where the fish were and what they were biting. This was a business trip for me, but I can’t wait to bring my kids and have Joe put them on fish! Thanks Joe!

Conditions were not great. Most other boats coming into wharf had zero fish, so our 2 catches made us a success. One was a nice red! Highly recommend Captain Joe.
