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!

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.

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
