Captain
Joseph Degruttola

Member since January 2022 Middletown Township, United States
Background
Captain Joseph started out fishing the smaller head boats in Atlantic highlands. he went on to work deck and captain at Andreas Toy for Captain Fred Gamboa. He Introduced Captain Joseph to the offshore scene and changed his whole game. Inshore and offshore, he learned a lot from Captain Fred and moved on his own charter boat.
Techniques
The preferred style on Captain Joseph's boat is live bait fishing for Striped Bass. He catches fresh bait with you and off you go. Not only does the captain like to use live bait but is ready to chunk troll and cast artificial baits at the ready. He can adapt in an instance to give you the best opportunity for a bite inshore and offshore.
