About the Boat
Hi, I’m Captain Joel Tomlinson of I’m Hooked Fishing Charters here at Hawks Cay Resort. I was born in Owosso, Michigan and grew up in a tight-knit family where fishing and hunting played a big role in my life. I owe much gratitude to my uncles for taking me along on their many outdoor excursions and educating me on what I have based my career on today—my love and passion for the water.
After serving in the United States Army and overseas in Iraq, I was ready for a much needed vacation. My father and I set off for the Florida Keys for a weeklong getaway, and now that vacation has been extended into a seven-year permanent residence. Even though I’m not a true born “conch,” my love for the water and for life in paradise makes me one at heart.
Over the years I’ve fished with and learned from some of the best captains in the world. I spent three years guiding with Saltwater Experience, and have competed in many local fishing tournaments, including the Swamps Guide Ball and IGFA Redbone Series events.
