My kids and I are visiting Tampa for spring break and my son Joey loves fishing… we found Slobby Joe Charters and let’s just say it was a blessing from the skies. Joe our captain was not only punctual and accommodating but he was phenomenal with the four kids (Ages 6-12). This mama actually rested on this trip and was able to enjoy my kids catch their fish in open water and see their faces light up as they reeled their fish in. Joe truly made this trip a one of a kind experience and if and... More

Capt Joe was accommodating and prepared for everything. Even went to multiple bait shops during a shortage to make sure we had enough bait for our group of 6. Joe was flexible, charismatic, and knew right where the fish were biting, despite the rapid cold weather changes and our off season booking date.

We were in town for a quick trip and I took my two sons (18 and 17) out for a 1/2 day with Slobby Joe. Caught a couple of monster Redfish and a nice Snook, as well as a few others. Overall, it was a great day and I highly recommend Slobby Joe if you are looking for a good fishing charter in Tampa.
