Joey Shogren

Member since July 2017 Cape Coral, United States
Background
Having grown up in Southwest Florida, I developed a passion for fishing at a young age. As a child, I began fishing in the ponds around my home. At 5 years old, my grandfather introduced me to saltwater fishing. As a teenager, I started fishing in local tournaments and started to develop my knowledge of the surrounding waters. From there my passion grew to become my livelihood.
Techniques
Specializing in back bay, inshore and nearshore fishing, I use light tackle and live bait. My boat allows me to get to areas other boats cannot reach. I have a vast knowledge of the fish and what time of year they are best caught.

Snook fishing is as hot as ever!

Jun 14, 2019 Cape Coral
Summer time is an excellent time to catch big female snook as they migrate to the beaches and passes to spawn. The fishing has been outstanding on both incoming and outgoing tides. These snook can exceed 20lbs and are some of the hardest fighting fish in the Gulf. The snook in the above pictures weighted in at 25lbs and 22lbs.
The bite is on!

Jan 15, 2018 Cape Coral
This time of the year provides some of the best nearshore fishing anyone could want. Tripletail, snapper, grouper and many other species get hungry as the weather cools off. All these species make for excellent dinner or just some fun catch and release fishing.
No better time than now!

Nov 12, 2017 Fort Myers
The weather is cooling down but the fishing is hot. The redfish have been biting great in the morning, either under the bushes or tailing on low water. The late morning through the afternoon has been a prime time to target trout and snook. The snook have begun there migrate back to warmer waters and are easy targets near river mouths and creek openings. Trout bite has been steady all day, with fish averaging 2-4lbs.
