I had a great experience kayak fishing with Joe! Even though the bite was a little slow following a cold front, Joe worked hard to find us fish. He proved to be a very knowledgeable guide. Kayak fishing is the way to go!
My kids and I have been fishing with Joe for many years. We have always caught fish and had a great time. The largest reds fish (40″) and snook (40″) we’ve ever caught came from fishing with Joe. Not only does he put you “on the fish” he shares his knowledge of how to catch them. From catching bait, rod and reel selection, types of line and how to tie that special knot. Always a memorable trip with Joe.
Joe or as I call him Mr. Blum helped me catch my first red fish and my biggest fish in general. I never really cared for fishing but Mr. Blum got me hooked on it. So Now thats all I want to do anymore. If you want a guide that knows A LOT about fishing than Mr. Blum is your man.
I have been fishing with Joe for many years now and I have enjoyed every second of it. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable when fishing. He shares his wealth of knowledge so that you can become a great fisherman. He knows all the right spots to target and he has such a passion for fishing. I encourage everyone to get a chance to fish with Joe. It will definitely be a memory you will never forget!
My father and brother in law went fishing with Joe, had a great time and caught red fish, snook and trout. Even with the windy conditions Joe knew exactly where the fish were and what to use to catch them. His knowledge and history of the area makes fishing with Joe a great time. Also, with two young boys I expect to be doing much more fishing with him in the future. Thanks for a great day on the water!
Hey Joe! My brother Michael and I had a great time today and thanks for the trip and the pointers. We will be having a fish fry tomorrow with the family. Definitely gonna hook up again soon.
What a wonderful Marine Discovery Class we had with you this morning! I was surprised we saw such a variety of sea life, and my children delighted in seeing creatures new to them! The mangrove walk and kayak ride were fabulous as well, we really enjoyed our time and are already looking forward to our next session. Thank you Mr.Blum!!
Wow, we had a blast. Thank you so much. That blowfish delighted the boys so much. Can’t wait for the next class. A+ Stay blessed, God’s creation is cool!!!!!
Thank you Mr. Blum We had a blast at your Marine Bio class on Wednesday. Michelle learned so much and is still talking about her experience. You inspired her to do more research. It was delightful to see such a variety of creatures and the kayak ride was a hit. Looking forward to the next class.
I have fished with Joe numerous times and still learn something new every time and I have fished for 30 years! He is extremely knowledgeable of the various fisheries in the Tampa Bay Area and is very patient no matter what your skill level is. If you haven’t fished with Joe yet, it’s time!
Thanks Joe for a fun morning of fishing in April!..you were very helpful as well as pleasant to be around..my brother and I had a blast and can’t wait to go tarpon fishing with all my brother’s in June!
Thank you Mr. Joe for the awesome Marine Bio class last week. My kids loved having a chance to see so many creatures and hearing you talk about our wonderful Creator! Can’t wait to enjoy another fun class with you!
Joe took my four teen sons out on a kayak adventure in the canals and they had a blast! They described it as one of their best days ever. 🙂 They each caught fish, learned an enormous amount about the art of fishing and kayaking, and just had fun. Joe is not only an awesome and avid guide, he is truly a wonderful role model for young people. Joe handles their age group, and any age group, with patience and finesse. I have known Joe his whole life (ok, I admit it with pride, he’s my brother) and he is a guy I would spend every day with if I could.
Best wishes Joe! Fish on!
The adventure was awesome! Me and my brothers caught a total of 5 fish in an hour on the water and the fishing was just as much fun as just being out there on the water. #FishOn
Thank you for another wonderful Marine Discovery homeschool class!! The kids really enjoyed casting the net and seeing the baby flounder. It was a beautiful day, and taking the kids out in the kayak was the perfect ending to a great morning.
I’ve been out fishing several times now with Joe. Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I am awed again. Everything from watching my first tarpon jump just off the bow of a kayak in the calm waters of the morning to landing a monster 39″ snook (and that’s no fish story!). I know one thing for sure, if I’m going out in the kayak with Joe, there will be a fish on the end of my line before very long.
Anytime you want to go out and fish Mr.Blum is your guy. He can catch what you want and how you want it’s an honor to fish with him. I caught my first snook with him and he’s hooked me on fishing ever since!!!!!
Puffer fish, pin fish, and lizard fish… Oh my! We love Mr. Joe’s classes and hands on teaching methods. My children can’t wait for his upcoming events this spring! Thank you for these fun and educational opportunities to show our kids the beauty of nature!
My family and I have been fishing with Joe for over a year now. Each experience gets better than the time before. I can’t wait for next trip.
Thanks Joe!
I had the pleasure of going out on a day trip with Joe last weekend and had a fantastic experience! My brother told me that if there are fish out there to be caught, Joe will find them, and he did just that! Thanks again Joe for getting me my first nice redfish!! Outstanding.
what an amazing time I had fishing with Joe, of the things I, wanted to do well living in Florida was fish for Tarpon from a kayak, he helped me complete my goal and what a fun exhausting time we had. we were on the water by 6 and the fight was on by 630. he was coaching me throughout the 2.5-hour fight. unfortunately, the fish won the fight, but he was willing to keep fishing and try for a second fish. I learned so much about tarpon and tarpon fishing that I feel I could go out and do decent on my own. that’s going from knowing nothing at all about it when we started. I highly recommend a fishing trip with Joe, I am in the process of getting a couple more trips scheduled.
I’ve fished with Joe on my last two trips to FL. He’s got me on the fish both times. Awesome guide and awesome fishing experience. Got several big Red’s, a couple of good Snook, nice Trout, and several other species (Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Flounder, etc.). You will not be disappointed!
Good Luck Joe! Tight Lines! – Eric Taylor
Awesome Banner Pic. That is a GREAT Catch. Like the fisherman as well!! 🙂
