Well I got into a bad work accident, I decided if I was going to die at work I rather die fishing! So I opened a charter business and got my captains license. I like to fish because it's not a team sport: you don't need anyone to do it and when you add people it just gets better! My favorite species are Snook, Reds, and Cobia .

Javier ArteagaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Trip and Great Captain
Joey Flats Fishing Everglades 5hr • 3 adults • 2 childrenI booked a trip with Captain Joey to celebrate my son‘s 13th birthday. He did a great job checking in with us before the trip. Everything we needed on the boat was ready to go. He did a great job explaining to us the history of the national park as well as sharing some stories of when he fished this area when he was younger. Every spot he took us to was a great spot for fishing. When the spot ran a little cold, he was ready to move onto the next spot. My son had a great birthday and so did his cousin who we also brought along for the trip. I can’t thank him enough. I highly recommend that you book your trip with Captain Joey.
Response from Captainthank you so much Javier for that awesome review. I’m glad you guys had a really good time fishing Everglades national Park with me. It means a lot that the boys had a good time and your son had an awesome 13th birthday in the Florida Everglades. You guys did a phenomenal job of fishing in the backcountry and staying interested and as a team we all came together and put meat on the table by leaving with 8 nice snapper for dinner. i’m glad we caught a little bit of everything snook trout snapper ladyfish and even a puffer fish Javier, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to spend with me on a fishing trip in the Florida Everglades and I so glad you your son and your nephew shared a memorable 13th birthday with me. Thanks for participating. Hope to see you guys real soon Captain Joey.
Hidefumi Nagai5.0VerifiedNEWGreat fishing experience with Joey
Joey Flats Fishing Everglades 4hr • 2 adultsWe had a great time fishing with Joey. He worked very hard to help us catch fish and carefully explained the best fishing spots and how to cast. He was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the trip. We really appreciated his effort and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Everglades as well. It was a memorable experience and I would definitely recommend this trip.
Response from CaptainThank you so much, Mr. Nagai, it was definitely my pleasure to take you and your son out for your Everglades excursion. We had a phenomenal morning. You guys did really well catching all kinds of species like snook, trout and snapper. For the last hour of the trip it started raining heavily, so we started making our way back to the doc. We finally got to see the famous crocodile Fred. It was an awesome trip. Thank you so much, sir for choosing Joey Flats Fishing trips and I hope I see you guys real soon. Thanks for choosing me, Captain Joey.

Joey Flats Fishing Everglades 5hr • 2 adultsThe mostbimportant aspectbof a fishimg excursion is the captain of your ship, and Captain Joey is hands down one of the most genuine and altruistic human beings I have ever met. He made my son and I feel right at home. He knew his territory lime the bavk of his hand and modified the trip to satisfy all of our goals which not only included catchimg several different species of fish but also experiencing the unique aspects of the Everglades. Captain Joey ensured that we coaught fish but also went above and beyond to make sure we made it to an Eco tour we had pre planned in the park. Because we were pushing our time limit to make it to the Eco tour, Captain Joey met us after we finished our Eco tour to give us fish that we had caught to take home to cook up that night! This was truly above and beyond what was expected of a guide! His actions illustrated his character and his business acumen! I would recommend Captain Joey to anybody 1000 times over!

I think we had an amazing trip together, not only fishing but got to experience a lot of the birds, plants, insects, and animal life at the park has to offer. Once again, it was definitely my pleasure. I hope to see you and your family again sometime soon thanks Capt. Joey. joeyflatfishing.com

Awesome Everglades family, fishing chart
Apr 7, 2026 • Homestead
Great day on the water in Everglades national Park. Today was awesome. The weather was beautiful and the fish were biting it always warms my heart when a family gets on the water and does extremely well not just fishing but with themselves. Had a lovely time out on the water with this beautiful family the other day we caught tons of snook, snapper and speckle sea trout. It was a morning half day trip 4 1/2 hours and we fished the whole time everyone enjoyed themselves not to mention even the littlest one on the boat caught a fish all by herself I want to thank you guys for choosing joey flats everglades fishing charters and I really hope to see you in the near future thank you guys Captain

Feb 28, 2026 • Homestead
What a beautiful day in the Everglades, it was i had a half day charter with two fly fisherman from Philadelphia. The day started off nice caught a couple of trout in the backcountry then one of them said they always wanted to see the shark river and we ended up going to the shark river for a couple of hours to finish ended up catching a lot of snapper and speckled trout. After the trip, I laid their catch and they had the local restaurant inside Everglades national Park Cook the fish. What a lovely feast they had. I appreciate your business. Thanks for choosing **hidden content**. Hope to see you guys soon thank you Captain Joey.

Great Everglades birthday, Fishing Trip
Dec 8, 2025 • Homestead
Incredible day on the water fishing the Everglades with Kirk on his birthday. We started about 8 AM in the morning drove down to flamingo boat ramp in Everglades national Park in Homestead, which is a 38 mile drive into the park down to the boat ramp, I dropped the boat in the water at the boat ramp, and we proceeded to start our day fishing Everglades National Park first place we stopped we got a couple mangrove snappers and a nice snook . we moved through Joe’s River heading to Ponce de Leon and the shark river to fish for snook and tarpon. We stopped along the way at a little spot that I have for snappers and boy did we clean house we must’ve caught at least 9 to 10 snappers 13 to 14 inches for my clients to take home for dinner. We finished up there and headed to the shark river where we caught a bunch more snappers sheep, head, and black drum before we knew it time was flying by and we had to head back to the boat dock .what an incredible trip we had a special one because it was Kirk‘s birthday and he caught all of his target species. I really appreciate you guys coming down to visit me in the Florida Everglades and Fishing. I hope you enjoyed your experience and please come back and visit me real soon thanks Captain Joey
