Captain Joe Stoops has fished the coastal waters
of the California
since 1968. His offshore experience started in 1974 when he acquired
his first boat and tried his hand at commercial fishing. While operating a
commercial salmon troller he opted to convert it to a salmon mooching boat
to save fuel and enjoy the sport aspect.
In 1993 he acquired his
captain's license. This started his first season in Alaska.
Fishing the remote waters of the
Northernmost entrance to the Fabled Inside passage, Joe was based out of Elfin
Cove, Alaska.
This is where he fished the most consistent waters in the world for
five species of Salmon, Pacific Halibut and Lingcod. He continued for five
more seasons becoming Elfin Cove's top guide. It was important for Joe to
promote the catch and release of 100 lb.+ Halibut because of the fact that
they are predominately spawning females. This included tagging released
Halibut for research purposes
During Alaska's winter season Joe migrated south to the Florida
Keys and Guatemala.
Operating a charter boat he fished for tuna and bill fish. Joe learned the
art of live bait sailfishing , using light tackle. As Captain, competing in
Sailfish tournaments, Joe perfected his boat handling skills in tight
aggressive situations. While residing in Key Largo
he also operated dive boats for charter and research work. In the fall of
1995, he returned to his home, The Monterey Bay and began offering
custom fishing charters for the area. Captain Joe is on the G. Loomis
Pro Staff and sponsored by Sufix Line, Gibbs lures and Cannon
Downriggers.
