Our kids are worn out! Why? In a four hour trip, we caught nearly 90 fish! Captain Joe put us on Speckled Trout first thing in the morning. The fishing was so good that we actually left a spot with biting fish and went to another hole to catch Snook. Joe, by the way was great with our kids. He is an eager and enthusiastic guy. He is timely and shows up with plenty of bait and equipment that is top notch. After we finished our trip he jumped out of the boat and cleaned our catch. Next time we are in the St Pete Beach area, I’ll guarantee we will give Joe a call and book another amazing experience!

The kids were great can’t wait to go out again!
We did a half day trip with Captain Joe. The fishing forecast was not that great for the day we booked for fishing. So I did not have great expectations for the trip. We met at cockroach bay boat launch. Within 10 minutes of fishing we were hooked up on a slot redfish. Within the first 30 minutes we hooked up on 4 slot redfish. Since we were at our limit of redfish we decided to go target other species. We then went to target snook which I have never caught. We lost count of how many we caught. I would say it was over thirty. We also got 4 really nice mangrove snapper. I even caught a cobia. That was a first for me also. So we already caught our redfish and snook completing 2 of the 3 fish needed for a “Inshore Slam”. We just needed to get a speckled trout to complete this. Sure enough after we moved spots to come back in Captain Joe put us on a speckled trout!! We completed the Slam. For a day that was forecast to be a poor fishing day it turned out to be an epic fishing day. And I learned rather quickly that the fish do not read the fishing reports!! I WOULD highly recommend Captain Joe for a charter and I will start using him as a regular for us. Truly one the most magnificent fishing trips ever!!

Really enjoyed having you and Noah on the boat. It doesn’t always turn out that way but I’m glad we were able to get on some really nice fish! Can’t wait for you guys to book again!
Capt Joe was excellent. We were on fish within minutes from anchoring.. Friendly, very knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend him.
Joe was great today. He put us on fish with the first cast. It lasted almost the entire first hour of the trip. Large Redfish, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, and Gag Grouper. I am already looking forward to the next trip. Joe has great local knowledge and really enjoys his work!
We had a great afternoon. Joe went out of his way to try and get us some keeper fish for dinner. It was rough waters but he got us on fish right away and then spent the rest of afternoon catching snook. I would highly recommend going out with Joe.
