Angela Clary5.0VerifiedGreat Experience
4 Hour Half Day (AM) on November 9, 2025 • 3 adultsIf you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing trip in Jacksonville, look no further than Captain Joe. From start to finish, he made our day on the water absolutely incredible. Captain Joe knows the area like the back of his hand—he put us right on the fish, kept the energy high, and made sure everyone had a great time, whether we were seasoned anglers or total beginners. His boat was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. What really set this trip apart was Captain Joe’s personality: patient, knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about giving people a memorable experience. We laughed, we learned, and we caught fish nonstop. If you’re visiting Jacksonville or even local to the area, book a trip with Captain Joe. You won’t regret it.
Kevin BehmRepeat angler5.0Verifiedperfect day in north florida
6 Hour 3/4 Day (AM) on November 13, 2025 • 1 adultI did a 6 hr inshore trip with Captain Joe and it was a great experience. We targeted Red fish early and Sheepshead after. He had me on fish all day and even spent time teaching which I really enjoyed. I went solo and he was a great guy to spend 6 hrs with. It felt like hanging with one of my own fishing buddies. I didn’t bring my kids but have no doubt he would be great with kiddos on the charter. If I’m ever back in Jacksonville I will definitely book another charter either way Joe! Thanks for a great day.

Lawrence AllenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFishing with Joe
8 Hour Full Day on April 11, 2025 • 2 adultsCapt. Joe is a cool guy. My buddy and I went on an 8hr trip and caught several species with plenty of keepers. Due to the weather, we weren't able to do an offshore trip as planned so It wasn't the best fishing day I've ever had, but Joe worked hard to make sure we had a great time and stayed in the action despite the fish not biting as well as we would've liked. Joe is patient and laid back and you can tell the he really loves fishing. It's not just a business, but something he puts his heart and soul into. He's got cool gadgets and a clear knowledge of the area's fishing. I look forward to going out again with Set Em Up and taking my 8 year old son next time. I would recommend Set Em Up for beginners or experienced anglers.
Leanna Simao5.0VerifiedBEST of the BEST
4 Hour Half Day (AM) on February 20, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had the best time. Captain Joe truly provided an unforgettable experience for our entire family. From the start, it was clear how knowledgeable and passionate he was about fishing. Captain Joe was patient, helpful, and knew exactly when to offer advice and when to step back, allowing our boys to learn and grow their love for fishing. He even took the time to teach our sons how to clean the fish and made sure everything was taken care of. To top it off, he recommended a local restaurant that would cook our day’s catch. We can’t wait to come back and do it again! Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a top-notch experience.
