Outstanding Fishing Guide

7 Hr. Trip – Bay (AM)2 adults

Captain Joe took my father and I out fishing in Matagorda Bay and we were beyond impressed. The winds were strong all day and we were worried that might be bad for fishing, but Joe made sure we kept trying different locations until we had success. At one point we were right on top of a school of Reds which was really cool to see. Joe's boat is brand new and the equipment is state of the art. We went through different areas of the Colorado River with ease and ended up catching a total of 6 fish (Red Drum, Black Drum, Trout, Sheepshead). Joe arrived at the dock super early to make sure we had live bait and was very attentive throughout the whole trip. He gave us tips on how to become better fisherman and we're already excited to book our next outing. Do yourself the favor and go with Joe on your next fishing outing. He's very talented at what he does and he'll be our go-to guide any time we want to go fishing. You're almost guaranteed to have a successful fishing tip!

    Great Trip In Low Visibilty Conditions

    5hr. Night Gigging Trip (4man max)4 adults

    Captain Joe G. went above and beyond the call to put us on some slabs during equinox tidal conditions that were challenging. He made my wife’s birthday giggin trip a total success. I would highly recommend Captain Joe!

    Top notch.

    5 Hour Trip – Bay (AM)2 adults

    Booked less than 24 hours beforehand (not usually ideal), but he agreed and took my brother and I out on a cold and windy day. Weather wasn’t great, but he got us on a bunch of reds, a few black drum, and a few sheepshead. Highly recommend Captain Joe.
