About Your Trip

Take your kids out on the water and get them hooked on fishing on this trip with Captain Joey! He'll teach them how to fish in the calm waters of the Choctawhatchee Bay—both perfect places to learn how to cast and retrieve. This is a catch-and-release trip, so bring along a camera to capture some great memories! Captain Joey is experienced in CPR fishing – “Catch, Photo, Release”. This way, you’ll ensure you do minimal harm to the fish you catch, which will then be safely released back into its natural habitat.

About Your Guide

12 Years of Experience

Joey developed a passion for fishing at a young age, learning the ropes from his dad and “Gramps.” At just 15, Joey was hired as an independent mate, one of the youngest ever on a well-known fishing charter boat in Destin Harbor. Then, Joey decided to obtain his 100 Ton Captain License at the age of 18.

We did a two hour trip and it was a perfect trip for my 4 year old. We did a lot of close to shore fishing and caught a variety of smaller fish.
