Fishing has always been my passion! I grew up in Tampa Bay and have fished here all my life. I can't wait to show you the waters I've grown to love. I prefer light tackle fishing and shallow water sight fishing. From time to time I target Mackerel, Cobia, and Tarpon, but my main targets are Snook and Redfish.

Half Day Trip (PM) • 5 adultsCaptain Joe did a fantastic job from the very start! We were underway on time and quickly made our way to the first spot. Mangrove Snappers were hungry and Joe had bait on the line and fish off the hook in rapid succession! After about an hour we pulled anchor and made our way toward the middle of the bay. There we reeled in a few Red Snapper and wrestled with a more agressive fish. The Spanish Makeral were hitting lines like crazy! After we caught our fill we headed back to the dock where Captain Joe fileted all our fish and bagged them for us. The Makeral were great lightly breaded with some lemon butter sauce. We highly recommend having Captain Joe take you on your next Tampa Bay fishing trip!

Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adultsTook my gradfather fishing who is elderly and has various medical conditions (none that prohibit his fishing) and i notified the captain that i wanted to make this an experience he will remember. Capt Joe, with that in mind, was very attentive and made this trip memorable. My grandfather had a great time and my entire party brought in plenty of fish. Superb experience.

Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adultsWe had an amazing family fishing trip! Our captain had a fantastic sense of humor and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. He knew exactly where to take us, and we hit our limits on trout! We even reeled in a red and a jack. Friendly, knowledgeable, and a great attitude—couldn't have asked for a better day on the water!
