Had a GREAT DAY of fishing with Captain Joe! Covered both East and West Bays and picked up a nice mess of both trout and reds on the reefs and under the birds. He worked hard taking care of my daughter in law who is/was a novice fisherwomen. She ended up catching both the biggest red and trout! All the fishing gear worked good and we were able to catch fish on both artificial and live shrimp. Had AN AMAZING experience when 3 dolphin ran the bow of our boat leaping out of the water for about a half a mile! Thought my daughter in law was going to jump out of the boat to swim with them!!!!!!!!!! Not only a great fishing experience but a chance to experience the beauty of the Matagorda Bay ecosystem with Captain Joe G giving us a very nice insight and information on all the wildlife and plants! Thanks for the Unforgettable trip Captain G!

We really had a great time. He made sure to take us where the fish were biting. We limited out on trout all of us and was very accommodating to anything we needed or help we may have needed. He supplies everything you may need fishing wise. We love to joke around and he was doing the same along with us. I’m telling you a half day with him went by so fast since it was just a great experience. We definitely will be using him again thanks JOE G 😄
