This was my son’s 16th birthday present, and I’m so glad I chose Joseph as our guide. Communication was excellent in the days leading up to the trip, especially as we monitored some incoming weather. He had the shrimp we requested and the boat ready when we arrived.
The morning started slow due to stubborn fog, but about an hour in we began catching trout nonstop. Joseph rotated us through his favorite spots—while not every one was productive, we landed some massive redfish and eventually got tired of small trout stealing our bait. He kept the boat moving so we never got bored, and he was incredibly helpful teaching us saltwater techniques (we’re primarily largemouth bass fishermen).
Joseph even cleaned our fish, which we took to Waterman’s restaurant. They prepared them perfectly for an unbelievably reasonable price. My only regret is that I didn’t set aside more cash for his tip—he absolutely earned it.

The trip was a blast. We caught a lot of fish and between three very different experience levels of fishing we all leaned a lot. The Captian was very patient, knowledgeable, and relaxed. 100% would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing day catching fish.

Amazing experience! We are beginners who don’t know much about fishing, but we were very comfortable and had a great time. Captain Joseph is amazing and we caught some great fish! Would absolutely recommend.
