Having grown up in Southwest Florida, I developed a passion for fishing at a young age. As a child, I began fishing in the ponds around my home. At 5 years old, my grandfather introduced me to saltwater fishing. As a teenager, I started fishing in local tournaments and started to develop my knowledge of the surrounding waters. From there my passion grew to become my livelihood.

    Capt. Joey was great. Perfect boat for inshore fishing and getting into skinny water spots. Caught lots of Snook. Super nice guy and very helpful. Would definitely book again with Capt. Joey.

    Overcame

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Started slow for the targeted fish. Captain Joey made a bait change on the fly, which was pretty cool, and then it was game on. We were 2 short of maxing out on or daily limit of Snapper. Had a great time!

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper

    Good day on the water. Prompt pickup and done everything possible to put us on the fish. Took us to several spots and targeted several species of fish.

Snook fishing is as hot as ever!

jun 14, 2019 • Cape Coral
Summer time is an excellent time to catch big female snook as they migrate to the beaches and passes to spawn. The fishing has been outstanding on both incoming and outgoing tides. These snook can exceed 20lbs and are some of the hardest fighting fish in the Gulf. The snook in the above pictures weighted in at 25lbs and 22lbs.

The bite is on!

jan 15, 2018 • Cape Coral
This time of the year provides some of the best nearshore fishing anyone could want. Tripletail, snapper, grouper and many other species get hungry as the weather cools off. All these species make for excellent dinner or just some fun catch and release fishing.

No better time than now!

nov 12, 2017 • Fort Majers
The weather is cooling down but the fishing is hot. The redfish have been biting great in the morning, either under the bushes or tailing on low water. The late morning through the afternoon has been a prime time to target trout and snook. The snook have begun there migrate back to warmer waters and are easy targets near river mouths and creek openings. Trout bite has been steady all day, with fish averaging 2-4lbs.
