Experienced Fishing Guide with Flexible Schedule & Affordable Boat Rentals

Captain Joe Richard has been a licensed fishing guide since 1994. His flexible schedule allows for early launches to beat the heat or afternoon high tide trips for shallow water redfish. His skiff is 16 feet long and can carry up to two guests. If clients rent a 24-foot Carolina Skiff from Steinhatchee Marina or Sea Hag Marina, he can accommodate up to four people for a full day of fishing. These rental boats are not only inexpensive but also provide ample casting space, shade with a pull-up Bimini, speed, and good mileage with modern 4-stroke engines.

Seafavorites Fishing Guide Service offers anglers a great opportunity to catch a variety of fish from shallow flats to two miles off the coast, weather permitting. Tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are provided. Captain Joe Richard often takes out fishing buddies, relatives, couples, and father-and-son teams. His preferred method of fishing is drift-fishing over grassy bottoms in 4–8 feet of clear water. He specializes in Seatrout but also targets Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, and occasionally Bluefish. Unlike some charter boats, Captain Joe Richard and his crew primarily use artificial baits but also deploy baited corks. During warm weather, live bait is frequently used.

Due to the size of the skiff, there is a weight limit of 230 pounds per passenger for both safe weight distribution and stress-free fishing. Explore these prolific waters with a well-experienced angler who serves as Florida's Big Bend regional editor for Florida Sportsman magazine.
