Jose Reyes

Member since December 2016 Homestead, United States

Background: 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 .
Techniques: Backcountry fishing inshore fishing canals and flats patch reef fishing with live bait and artificial.

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

One of the windiest days of the year we

Feb 23, 2025 Homestead

Well, today’s winds were blowing around 30 miles an hour. Weather was rough 2 to 3 foot sees. From the moment we dropped the boat in the water was pretty rough, but my client said they wanted to proceed so we did we decided to do the interior of the park because the winds were just so bad it was really our only option. We finished buttonwood and Tarpon Creek and caught a couple nice snook and some pretty nice size Redfish halfway through the trip we decided to make the run to the shark river, we fished around there for about another hour and a half. Then we started to head back Fish Tarpon Creek and got a nice grouper and black drum. Everybody was very happy end of the trip. Thanks for choosing **hidden content** thank you guys, Captain Joey.

Fishing and camping in Everglades nation

Feb 23, 2025 Homestead

This was a cool fishing trip. I had a father contact me wanting to take his two sons fishing and also bring a friend along for the trip. I said no problem. They were camping in the park overnight and wanted to go fishing the next day. We dropped in the water about 9 o’clock, and we fished all the way from buttonwood channel to shark River We end up catching a lot of nice species of fish, snook, snapper sheep, head along with Lady fish and some other others. It was my pleasure showing these guys around the Florida Everglades and what a way to cap off a camping trip. Good luck guys hope to see you guys real soon in the future . Thanks for choosing Joey flats fishing.

Feb 13, 2025 Homestead

Everglades flamingo fishing Charter

My boyfriend and I did a 5 hour trip with Captain Joey this weekend. We had a great time! We caught a lot of fish including trout, snook, snapper, sheep head and more. Captain Joey was a fantastic captain with tons of knowledge and stories. It was a great way to see a good portion of the Everglades that we would not have been able to otherwise. He also cleaned and filleted our fish so that we could get it cooked at a local place which was really awesome. Don’t hesitate to book with Joey, you... More

Captain Joey did an awesome job getting us on the fish and keeping us entertained. If you’re looking for a great backcountry trip, I would highly recommend going with Joey! Myself and 2 other buddies took a 5 hour trip and caught 25+ fish - tarpon, trout, redfish, snook, mangrove snapper and few cats kept us busy the whole time. He’s a funny guy and very attentive - great overall experience!

Want to send a big shout out to PAUL and his buddies for coming fishing with me and Everglades National Park . This was probably one of the best fishing trips we had this year we had good ones, but this trip was filled with everything swimming in the Everglades. We caught goliath grouper snook, tarpon, redfish trout, and a whole bunch of snapper. This half-day trip was phenomenal and it’s one I won’t forget for a long time.

Jose did a tremendous job in making a day that started out with bad weather and uncertainty into a day that we will always remember. He was willing to wait for the bad weather to pass and then when it cleared up he jumped right in to get the trip started He was very knowledgeable about the Everglades and its history he was an excellent guide and worked hard to get us on the fish. He was very patient when we messed up and got snagged Very positive and great with conversation We... More

Awesome trip today! What a beautiful park with amazing fishing. Captain Joey started putting us in fish from the get go. Picked up a couple of snook and snapper good size fish - but we had no idea the fish would keep getting bigger all day. When I say bigger I mean a dozen big snapper, several big snook, and 2 over 30 pound Goliath groupers. Plus ladyfish, alligators, manatee, bull sharks, and many many laughs and fist bumps!! Thanks Captain Joey…looking forward to our next adventure.... More
