Evening gigging

5hr. Night Gigging Trip (4man max)3 adults

This was our first time gigging. Captain Joe was very informational on the process. Very low tide, but he kept putting us on the fish. If you’re looking for a great captain that will do what it takes, look no further. Highly recommended.

    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.
