I fish a considerable amount and have had some good experiences with captains, but few captains know how to hook fish even when the fish aren’t biting (for whatever reason). Joe is one of those angling aficionados. I would book him again for sure.

My two sons, (6 and 8) and my mom and I had a great experience with Slobby Joe! He was great joking with the boys, super nice to my mom, and we caught a ton of fish! We had so much fun we made a second reservation to cap off the end of our vacation!

Even though there was heavy fog our whole trip, captain Joe got us on fish.  All four in our party caught fish and had a nice “catch and cook” dinner at Hooks restaurant in Ruskin.  We will definitely use Slobby Joe’s again.

Captain Joe did a great job!  He is professional, courteous, and most importantly easy to get along with. Moved us around until we got on fish. Caught a lot of snook and a couple of trout. Highly recommend!

We had a great time!  Booked at the last minute and Captain Joe was very accommodating, had great fishing spots, and was great with our boys and the adults as well!
