I love Joeyflatsfishing Trips nice fishing guide knowledgeable about the Everglades

Joey is a great guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and it's history. We caught snook, snapper, redfish, and jacks. Awesome day in the glades. I left tired and genuinely feeling like I had a new friend. Thanks Joey.

I booked this trip for my husband and grandson. We didn't want a large group trip, so this one was perfect. Capt Joey and I spoke several times and he was quick to respond with any answers I had. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and ensured my guys had a … Read More

Everywhere Joey took us we found fish. He knows Everglades National Park. Good company and services.

Caught about three dozen fish on what was a “slow” day. Captain Joey is extremely knowledgeable and a work-horse manning the boat and the tackle/bait. Caught the Goliath grouper at the end which was the prize of the day. Would definitely book again! 10/10!

Very friendly did his job perfectly nice. A very nice day fishing congrats

The trip was excellent, we enjoyed it very much. Captain Joey is extremely nice, very hlepful and knows exactly where the fishes are and very patiently got us upto speed with the gears and some basic fishing techniques. Even though the weather was not perfect, but we were able to get good number of Snooks.

Even though the water temperature was only 40 Degrees and Joey advised it would not be a good fishing due to the cold water and winds l still ventured forth. We were one if not the only boat to catch in that park on the day. Joey is a pleasure to be on the water with as he is so relaxed ,interesting to talk to and a Super guide knowing all the best fishing spots in the area.

We had a great experience with Captain Joey in the Everglades back country in April 2018. He knew where to catch fish! We caught 25 to 30 fish of 7 or 8 species. His boat was clean and well set up. Joey is very friendly, talkative and personable. He was also very helpful with baiting hooks, undoing tangles, and retrieving hooks from Mangrove branches! We had a great time and highly recommend him for a guided trip.

We had the best fishing trip of our lives. Captain Joey really made us enjoy this fishing day. It was all perfect. I recommend him 100%

Joey must have been a fish in a past life… he knows how to find them even when the conditions aren’t good. Had a great time.

What can I say besides loads of snook and trout on a day that any other guide, (that I know of) would have rightly struck out. The night before we went out a cold front rolled in, (52F) and at 7:30AM on the big day it was blowing at 30MPH!!

Captain Joey recommended that we wait it out till 11AM, (if it fit my schedule) before we head to Flamingo. Great move on his part as the wind died down and although it warmed up to

72F, we still had to deal with that fishing-killer-dreaded cold front.

I stopped counting after we had landed about 20

Snook and roughly the same number of sea trout. Captain Joey simply left CES to fish. The man is always smiling. At first I thought perhaps he had gas but nope, he just loves to fish and further, he really loves it when his guests hook up!!

I don’t know where we were fishing aside from

Going North out of Flamingo in his super comfortable vessel. Amazing casting platforms and he tirelessly used his electric to position me, (after he had studied my casting style and angles) for the easiest casts. Now that part is crucial, I mean it’s SUPER-CRUCIAL when you are fishing the mangroves. You need to really cast in to tight spots and boat positioning is everything.

What a day! Not much into fishing? Not problem. We saw three manatees, cool. 2 alligators, really cool. 1 salt water crocodile, very, very cool. An eagle flying above us with a fish gripped in it’s talons, amazing. But the best? A mama dolphin and her baby swimming around!!!! Simply wicked!

I just read what I wrote above and it sounds fake darned it but it’s not! It was a fabulous day on so many levels it’s hard to believe but I assure you that what I attempted to describe is 100% factual

I would and I will recommend Captain Joey to close friends. Why only close friends? Well I’ve found a good thing you know what I mean? I’m not going to just give it away! It’s like your honey hole for largemouth you know? You tell close buddies where it is, not aquatintences!

We had and amazing day. My son and I love the way that captain José treat us. We felt that we know him for years. Our father and son trip was priceless. I will repeat again

This guy, captain Joey, just knows how to catch fish. He has uncanny knowledge of spots in the Everglades that were ridiculously good. We caught many species including sea trout, snapper, goliath grouper, mackerel, jack, and sheepshead. And the guy has a nice boat. My son is already asking when we can come back to Miami to fish with captain Joey again.

We booked this to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was a memorable and wonderful day. Captain Joey is knowledgeable and very nice. We had a great day and definitely recommend it! We’ll vertigo back out with Captain Joey soon!

I have been on many fishing trips. Never have I had the experience that I did today. Captain Jose is by far the most experienced captain/ guide I have ever had the pleasure to fish with. It was not just a guided fishing trip, it was a history lesson and environmental and ecological education.

I felt like i was part of a National Geographical party. We saw all species of birds, dolphins, Shark, manatee. I can’t thank captain Jose enough for an experience of a life time. I will never fish with any other captain. I am already planning my next trip with Jose.

What an amazing trip with Captain Joey! A true master of the Everglades, Captain knew all of the best spots to hit on a windy day that shouldn’t have been ideal for fishing.

Altogether, we caught roughly:

• Two 25+ pound Goliath groupers
• Four sea trout
• Six snook
• 20 mangrove snapper
• One black drum
• One southern puffer
• Two sheepshead

Captain prepared a few of the fish for us to take home for dinner.

In addition to all of the knowledge Captain brings to put you on lots of fish, he also is an incredible storyteller and Everglades guide. We learned so much about the history of the park, the various wildlife around us…even Ponce de Leon.

Highly recommend using Captain Joey for your next Florida fishing trip!

What an awesome day my son and I had today with Capt. Joey! He was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable in the area (Everglades), the gear and was very safety conscious. It has been windy all week and he was able to keep us protected from the wind and most importantly on top of the fish! Capt. Joey is funny and loves the area he grew up in and the sport of fishing. He made the entire full day experience a blast! Time flew and before we knew it is was time to head in and drive back to Miami.

I would highly recommend Capt. Jose (Joey) to anyone who asked. Everything from A-Z covered and a full day experience with my son in the books! Thank you.

Amazing fishing trip in the Everglades- Captain Joey has an awesome setup on his Hewes and goes above and beyond to make sure you get on fish all day. I can’t recommend this charter enough, and if you are thinking about booking a trip to fish the Everglades (do it) book Captain Joey, some of the most fun fishing you can do.

Full Day in the Everglades

Awesome trip today! What a beautiful park with amazing fishing. Captain Joey started putting us in fish from the get go. Picked up a couple of snook and snapper good size fish - but we had no idea the fish would keep getting bigger all day. When I say bigger I mean a dozen big snapper, several big snook, and 2 over 30 pound Goliath groupers. Plus ladyfish, alligators, manatee, bull sharks, and many many laughs and fist bumps!!

Thanks Captain Joey…looking forward to our next adventure. Happy customers!!

An experience we will always remember

Jose did a tremendous job in making a day that started out with bad weather and uncertainty into a day that we will always remember. He was willing to wait for the bad weather to pass and then when it cleared up he jumped right in to get the trip started

He was very knowledgeable about the Everglades and its history he was an excellent guide and worked hard to get us on the fish. He was very patient when we messed up and got snagged

Very positive and great with conversation

We will use him again

We had an absolute blast fishing with captain Joey! We learned a lot about the Everglades and got to see a lot of cool stuff! On top of that, we ripped lips as hard as we could go for the whole trip! We caught redfish, snapper, snook, grouper, trout, and ended the day with a huge black drum! We had fun from the minute we stepped on the boat! Captain Joey is a very personable guy and this was one of the best charters I’ve ever been on!! We had an absolute blast fishing with captain Joey!

Awesome! Highly recommended!

What a fantastic day my son and I had with Capt. Joey today! He was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area (Everglades), the equipment, and safety. It had been windy all week, and he was able to keep us safe and, more importantly, on top of the fish! Capt. Joey is a witty character who adores his hometown and the sport of fishing. He made the entire full-day experience enjoyable! I would highly recommend Capt. Jose (Joey) to anyone who asked.

We were completely blown away by the experience despite not having fished in the Everglades before. The fishing was fantastic, the scenery was breathtaking, and Joey made the day perfect. He attended to every detail and worked tirelessly to ensure that the day was a success. Most importantly, he was a humorous and engaging tour guide with over thirty years of experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about going on an Everglades excursion.

10 out of 10. The entire trip, I caught 9 different species of fish from Joey's secret spots. A fantastic day with a fantastic guide

What an incredible journey with Captain Joey! Captain, a true Everglades master, knew all the best spots to visit on a windy day that shouldn't have been ideal for fishing.

This trip was to Everglades Parka and it was 10 out of 10! The forecast was for rain, but it was sunny and no wind, and although I was cautious about casting and fishing at first, I continued to practice with Captain Joey and fished all day by myself. We were stung all day long. Joey's gear was great and his fish knowledge and knowledge of the local parks was top notch. I look forward to going out with him again.

When a friend of mine went fishing, she said, "Best day in Florida!" ..it's all catch and release. Too much fun... I will book again!

I have done many fishing trips. I never had the experience I had today. Captain Jose is the most experienced captain/guide I have had the pleasure of fishing with. It was more than just a guided fishing trip, it was a history lesson and environmental and ecology education. We saw several kinds of birds, dolphins, sharks and manatees. I can't thank Captain Jose enough for the experience of a lifetime. I never fish with other captains. I'm already planning my next trip with Jose. Thank you! Simon I have done many fishing trips.

I did an Everglades fishing trip with my Dad and Joey, and it was an incredible experience. Joey knows the area like the back of his hand and he knows where all the real fish come out to play. I came back with enough fish to keep me full for a few days. Plus, Joey is a professional who always has the customer in mind. If you have the chance, spend the day with Joey.

Beautiful scenery and lots of fish in the boat. Joey is a wonderful guide, bright and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend it.

The guide knows where the fish live in Flamingo. Inside or outside he uses the proper tide to catch fish. You just can't go without knowing where to go, low tide is really low and if you don't know what you're doing. Had a blast all day catching fish. Highly recommend a full day
