Capt Joe and his mate, Josh, were very professional and organized. They quickly assessed us, our fishing abilities and what experience we were hoping for - and then catered the trip to exceed our expectations. Capt Joe clearly has many years of experience fishing these waters. He knew where the fish were, and coached us on how to catch them. His boat and gear are in excellent condition, and the instruction they provided lead to success for all 4 members of our party, even those with limited fishing... More

This was our second trip with Capt. Joe and it was absolutely amazing!
