Had a good time with captain Joe, he was really helpful with my 8 year old nephew. The fishing was not the best but that was no fault of captain Joe.

Joe was very accommodating to a group of ladies and novice fisherman. We had a great time and although we didn’t catch any keepers, we did catch some fish and had some fun.
