Eventually, he applied the intimate knowledge accumulated in these areas to a floating platform and the rest has been history. His “inside and out” familiarity with the Montauk fishing grounds and the species calling them home has translated to a fresh perspective and unique set of tactics that consistently produce impressive catches for his customers. When he’s not chartered, Capt. Joe spends his time pinhooking (commercial rod and reel fishing) on the Bloodline or moonlighting aboard any number of draggers, longliners, gillnetters or sea scallopers. He’s also a former associate editor and East End field editor for The Fisherman Magazine, and not the least bit bashful about stepping up to a podium to offer seminar talks during the off season. Simply put, Capt. Joe lives to fish and thrives on taking fellow anglers under his wing.
