Captain Joseph consistently puts anglers on fish within the first 30 minutes, targeting productive spots in mangroves and flats throughout Southwest Florida waters. Customers regularly catch trout, snapper, flounder, snook, jacks, and even unexpected species like cobia and sharks. Joseph demonstrates excellent local knowledge by moving between multiple fishing holes when conditions change, teaching proper casting techniques, and sharing insights about regional fish behavior that help both beginners and experienced anglers improve their skills. Customers appreciate Joseph's patient teaching style, especially with first-time anglers and families introducing kids to fishing. Many mention his friendly personality and willingness to work hard throughout the trip, constantly seeking new opportunities when fish aren't biting at one location. Guests frequently spot dolphins and manatees during their charters, adding wildlife viewing to their fishing experience. Customers consistently recommend Joseph to other anglers and express interest in booking future trips with Rigid Fishing Charters.

We had a fantastic experience. Joe hooked us up on the first stop. We caught many trout as well as some Puffers. My wife also caught a shark. We then moved to deeper water in search of Tarpon. We saw a lot of them, but no bites. It was a fantastic day.

My grandson had never been fishing before, and I hadn't fished in almost 25 years. Joseph assisted us, and by the conclusion of the trip, my grandson was casting far better than I. It was not Joseph's fault that we did not capture any "large fish." He led us to several "fishing holes," but the huge fish didn't bite. We had a nice day, and I got to witness my grandson catch his first fish. Thank you, Joseph.

I went out with Captain Joe. Nice man, understood the water, and immediately put on some fish. Nothing we could save since it was too little, and they simply shut down. That's how fishing works; one minute they're biting anything, the next nothing. He brought us to a few more spots, but nothing was biting. He noticed some fish in the water and cast to them, but if they're not biting, you catch them. Overall, a fantastic experience. Only gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because the fish weren't biting, but that's not Joe's fault.

On our inshore fishing trip, put us on fish in every location. We were hoping to learn how to catch fish in Southwest Florida, and Captain Jo taught us a lot about the area we were fishing in. It was amazing to see dolphins and manitees so close to our boat. I can't wait for the next fishing trip!

It was a fantastic day! We began in the mangroves with Joseph and then headed to the flats. He was continually seeking for methods to hook us up with fish. We landed snapper, flounder, and a puffer fish. He made every effort to hook us up with trout, redfish, and snook. We didn't bring anything home, but that's the nature of fishing. But it was still a fantastic morning, and I can confidently say that we gave it our all during that little period. This charter comes highly recommended by me. 10/10 in my opinion.

Captain was fantastic and very nice; we had a great time out on the water and would highly recommend him. The boat is a little small, so it's best for a small group, but he said he'll be getting a larger boat this week. He was knowledgeable about the best fishing spots, and we saw some dolphins jumping, so it was a successful day.

If you can't tell from the photographs, we caught a variety of fish! But that's because Captain Joseph had us on fish right away! This young man was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the fish life. If you want to get the most out of your fishing trip and learn about the area and how to do things correctly, go with Rigid fishing charters! Thank you for a wonderful day, Joseph!
