Joel Norman, Captain at Unfinished Business Charters
Identity VerifiedIf you’re looking to enjoy a solid day of fishing in Old Town, Unfinished Business Charters is ready to show you what the local waters have to offer. Led by Captain Joel, this charter focuses on keeping things easy, productive, and enjoyable for anglers of all ages and experience levels.
Old Town is known for diverse fishing opportunities, and depending on the season, you might reel in species like Black Drum, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Tripletail, and both King and Spanish Mackerel. Captain Joel keeps an eye on the conditions and patterns to put you on the best action possible. Most trips involve light tackle and trolling, but he’s always happy to adjust techniques based on what’s working that day.
Your ride for the day is a 24’ center console that fits up to four guests comfortably. It’s designed for shallow waters and nearshore runs, with everything on board to keep your time productive. Rods, reels, and lures are provided, and live bait is available—just check with the captain ahead of time to see if you’ll be catching it during the trip.
This charter is a great fit for families. Kids are welcome, and the captain provides life jackets, though it's best to ask ahead to confirm the right sizes are available. Fishing licenses are covered under the trip, so you don’t need to worry about permits. Just show up with a positive attitude and a readiness to fish.
You’ll want to bring along a few essentials: sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, sunglasses, and some snacks. Drinks are included on board, and moderate alcohol is allowed—just no hard liquor or glass bottles for safety reasons.
Want to give the gift of a day on the water? Gift certificates are available and make a great surprise for birthdays, holidays, or just because. If you're in the mood for something different, Unfinished Business Charters also offers airboat rides, which are a great way to explore the area's backwaters and scenic spots from a different perspective.
Captain Joel is all about making your trip simple and enjoyable. Whether it’s your first time fishing or you’ve got plenty of experience, you’ll feel right at home on his boat. He’s approachable, helpful, and committed to making sure each guest walks away with memories worth keeping.
