Captain Joe works hard and is accommodating. He was very communicative. I reached out to him with questions and with some request. He was very prompt in responding and helped us out with our needs.Our group had a hard night fishing with poor conditions, but Cap. Joe kept trying spots, kept trying, and we eventually all went home with fish. I could tell that was important to him. And, we had lots and lots of fun!His language was not near as salty as many other captains, which I appreciated and would make me feel better about taking kids and inviting friends who may not appreciate such language. All in all, you can't go wrong with Captain Joe. I've had family members go out with him, and they share the same. Joe's the one in the Port A area if you want to gig flounders.

This was an incredible experience for our family. Having fished the waters around Port Aransas for over 60 years, we have never tried flounder gigging. We could not be more pleased with our trip. The anticipation of gigging a flounder is thrilling and when you spot a fish, that's when the real fun begins. Even when you are not actively gigging watching the night life in the flats is really neat. The trip would not have been what it was if not for Capt. Joe. Besides being courteous, honest, knowledgeable, and professional; he works hard at making sure he puts you on as many fish as possible. We had 12 fish in the first hour. He takes the time to teach you how to gig efficiently and will maneuver his boat to make sure you have a chance at every spotted fish. Speaking of which, he has one of the newest, nicest boats in the fleet. It was able to handle six adults comfortably and is equipped with the best gear needed for seeing the fish. I can't say enough about our first gigging trip. This is something our family will do in the years that come and we will always make sure that when we go, it is with Capt. Joe Clouse.
