Lil Joe provided a top notch service for me and my three boys. He was extremely patient, answering our questions and teaching us how to hook and land red drum.  Everything that was posted in the fishing booker profile regarding what is provided is accurate - all we had to do was show up with our drinks and snacks. Lil Joe was mindful of our safety and kept a close eye on the weather. Overall, it was a great experience. We left with 5 red fish, some of which we had cooked at Virginia’s in Port Aransas, a recommendation made by Lil Joe, to enjoy with the rest of the family. Though we arrived as customers, I’m pretty sure we left as friends. I would recommend Lil Joe to anyone looking for a good experience on a bay trip. Especially, if you have kids. He was great with my boys.

We had a great morning with Captain Joe on the bay. He put us on fish almost immediately and we were able to take home 9 beautiful reds. Also reeled in dozen or so hard heads, a flounder, and a couple unsuspecting crabs. We were with our two young kiddos and he was super patient with them, explaining the technique and navigating their crazy impatience! Great trip.

I needed to make a memory with my 20 year old son and 19 year daughter, so I took a chance on hiring Captain Joe. We all 3 loved him. When the other guides had trouble, we still caught our limit. Captain Joe is kind, wise, fun and a phenomenal fisherman. We’d definitely use him again.

My 8 year old son asked for a fishing trip for his birthday. Water was murky and there were heavy winds, not things that can be controlled. Regardless of this we were catching fish and having a blast. Joe was excellent with the kids and my oldest son already wants to go back for his birthday.
