Pros

Captain Joe LeClair fishes for Striped Bass and Bluefish in the waters along the Elizabeth Islands and Marthas Vineyard in a 22 foot Catamaran and lives in the coastal town of Marion, Massachusetts.
While growing up along the coast of New England Joe fished with his father for Stripers and Blues and quickly fell in love with the challenge of saltwater fly fishing. He has developed techniques to help target Large Stripers on the fly and uses 10, 11 and 12 weight fly rods to catch giant bass consistently.
In the summer months as the water warms along the coast of Southern New England Joe heads offshore, running a 33 foot World Cat in search of larger game. Joe is pioneering methods to catch Tuna on the fly, and this pursuit has gained him recognition in New England where traditional tuna techniques have been the norm.
Joe targets fish up to 200 lbs. on the fly and light tackle spinning gear and these awesome creatures will sometimes battle an expert angler for over three hours. This type of fishing requires casting skill, practice and good physical conditioning. These fish are targeted with 12,13, and 14 weight fly rods.
During the winter months Joe and his family move to Boca Grande, Florida. He guides the waters around Boca Grande and will sometimes travel deep into the Everglades to target fish on the fly. Primarily he fishes for Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon.
Boating safty, preparation, and knowledge are all important to Joe but the most important thing of all is having fun.
