Amazing day on the ocean with captain Joe. Captain Joe is a great guy who is very personable and fun to be with. He helped my kids fish the whole time and they each caught a ton of fish. He was very knowledgeable and answered the million questions I asked all day. I will book with him again in the future.

We had a blast fishing with Joe! My wife and I are experienced fishermen which allowed Joe to not work very hard, get us on so good fishing spots and enjoy having some lively conversation. Would HIGHLY recommend him as your guide and we are hoping to get back down to the Bluff and fish with him again.

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.

Joe, was a great guide. We were able to fish two spots and were able to hook up in both spots. Our kids had a great time. Joe took the time to mentor one of the first time young men. He was even able to hook up on a large Black Drum. Would definitely take this trip again. Thanks for the memories. Wish we had more time.
