Had a great 5 hour trip with Capt. Joel. Caught a bunch of stuff and he was super helpful and patient with our group.
My husband and son each caught about a dozen fish but the winner was an 80 lb kingfish that my 13 yr old son caught. It took him about 20 min to reel this big guy in. Joel was very helpful! They were also trying to catch a 14-16’ tiger shark that was hanging out around the boat. Didn’t catch that guy but it was fun to watch. Highly recommend Joel!
Joel was one of the top rated captains on fishing booker in the Naples area. We hooked into Spanish mackerel as soon as we got to our first spot. We caught many other species of fish including bonita, blue runner, nurse shark, Atlantic sharp nose shark, and a massive tiger shark! It was an incredible trip!
Based on only doing a half day, thought we would be stuck to backwaters. Turns out we got out about 9 miles on a beautiful day and Captain did not steer us wrong. As soon as we dropped anchor we got hits and landed fish. Got slow and we took to another spot and again as soon as we dropped we were pulling in fish. Between 3 of us we hooked well over 20 fish in about 3 hours of fishing time. Caught a bunch of fish not in season we were not able to keep, but it still made everything exciting! Hooked some of everything - trigger fish, snapper, trout, shark, and more! Great knowledge of spots, very friendly, very respectful. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely use again next time down.
