Chartle Charters

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 the commercial fishing industry started to fall so he acquired his captain's license. This started his first season in Alaska.
