    The BEST catch 🎣 was his smile 😃

    Fishing Half Day Morning • 4 adults

    Our mission was to spend the day as a family just hoping to land a hook and release. BIG success! Granny caught the first catch of the day and 16 fish later we all had something! Capt. Joseph was great! From a friendly greeting upon approach to celebrating with each fish on a hook. Well worth it!

    This was our first charter with my two sons, and I was really hoping to hook into a big fish. The bite started off slow, and for the first few hours we only managed some small perch and catfish—mostly bait-sized fish. But the captain didn’t give up. He made the call to move us to a completely different spot and even offered to stay out longer so we’d have a better chance. That decision paid off! We ended up landing a couple of solid catfish, including a 10-pound blue cat that made the day. My friend also caught an eel, which was an unexpected surprise and fun for everyone to see. My boys said it was “so much fun,” and I couldn’t agree more. Between the excitement of the catches, the captain’s persistence, and just being out on the water on such a beautiful day, it was a trip we’ll all remember. Thanks, Captain, for making it such a great experience!

    My son(18) , nephew(12) and I had a wonderful morning out with Joe. He was easy to communicate with leading up to the trip and gave detailed instructions of where to meet him. Joe has been fishing this area for a long time and really knows where to go to find the fish. We caught a LOT of perch(small guys, fun to catch) and a few little catfish but the keepers were evading us all morning. About a half hour before the charter was to be over we started catching big catfish(which is what my son wanted, he loves to cook). Joe cleaned the fish while we finished up which was SOOoooo appreciated. 10/10 would recommend.
