I'm Captain Jose, with years of experience exploring Sarasota's complex flats, mangrove edges, and hidden backwaters. I've honed my skills to become an expert in inshore fishing. My true passion is chasing the renowned "Big Three" species found in these waters: the explosive runs of snook, the stubborn battles with tailing redfish, and the unmistakable strikes of trophy-sized speckled trout.

To me, a rewarding day on the water means much more than just landing a big fish—it's about creating genuine and memorable experiences. Whether it’s the excitement of sight-casting to a pod of redfish in pristine waters, the finesse of casting beneath mangrove canopies to entice a lurking snook, or reading the subtle shifts in tides and seasonal patterns, every moment counts. I tailor each fishing trip to suit your individual goals, whether you’re an experienced angler aiming to sharpen your techniques or a family eager to enjoy meaningful time together.

Operating from the easily accessible Ken Thompson Boat Ramp, I strive to deliver adventures that are safe, educational, and unforgettable, all while honoring the delicate ecosystem we’re privileged to fish. Let’s head out and create some lasting memories on the water. Jose is dedicated and energetic, always finding multiple hotspots where the fish are biting! Living by the motto "Eat, breathe, and fish," he generously shares his knowledge and friendliness with everyone on board.
