A full day trip gives us the time to run into the everglades backcountry. Anglers have the opportunity to try different fishing techniques and see the beautiful unique landscape the everglades national park has to offer. We will use artificial baits and live baits depending on time of year and availability.
This is where we will target snook, redfish, speckled trout, various species of inshore sharks and always a shot at the elusive tarpon.

Half Day Trip
Capt Joey was exceptional! Day was much windier than predicted and typical hot spots were not producing. Capt Joey knew where to go and we caught large numbers of Mangrove and Mutton along with Blue Runners, Yellowtail, and even a short fight with a large ‘Cuda (who ate the Blue Runner we were reeling in)! I had limited mobility as I just broke my foot but Capt Joey took care of everything and made sure we all had a great day of fishing.
Captain Joey is very personable, great to shoot the breeze with, and really helpful on how to fish the area. Highly recommend!

3/4 Day Trip
We went for Tarpon. Weather did not cooperate but, we did boat a tone of Snapper, Hogfish and Grouper. Both of the later were out of season so they all went back. We did get into some nice Black Tip and Bonnet Head Shark. Joey was great, not one of those stuffy captains that only does what he wants. He asked our opinion and did what we wanted. I will call him next time down. We will get those Tarpon! Do yourself a favor, fish with Joey, you will be glad you did.

2 Hour Captain's Choice
Went out for the two hour trip with two adults and two kids (age 7 and 10) and had a wonderful time! Captain Joe was fun and knew all the fishing hot spots. He did a great job of finding action to keep the kids engaged. We caught snapper, saw a sting ray jump out of the water, and even chased a barracuda. Captain Joe even cleaned out fish for us and recommended a restaurant to cook it up. Would highly recommend for a fun day out on the water!
