Captain
Joseph Aiello

Member since June 2021 Islamorada, United States
Background
I was born and raised in Long Island, New York. I fished the Great South Bay since I was old enough to ride my bike. As a young boy, I worked filleting fish at a local fish market and wholesaler. This put me in the company of fishermen at a young age. I ran my own boat since the age of 15. I was catching Striped Bass, Fluke, Yellowfin, and Bluefin Tuna. I have been vacationing in the Keys each year since I was 11 years old, and each time we came down, I fell in love with the lifestyle and the fishing more and more. I thought the guides who used to take us fishing were the luckiest people on earth. In 2015 I left New York and moved down permanently. I have honed my skills and learned the fishery and the numerous techniques used down here. Come have a memorable day with us and get the same feeling I got all those years ago!
Techniques
I run a bay boat and enjoy light tackle inshore and nearshore fishing. We fish the Florida Bay, Everglades national park, and weather permitting, the shallow patch reefs on the Atlantic side. I try to employ live or fresh baits whenever I can. However, my true passion is fishing with artificials.
