Just Reel and Captain Josh were awesome!  We took the 3 hour trip and Captain Josh led us to 26 Spanish Mackerel!  He is friendly, knowledgeable and was great with our boys!  After fishing, he took pictures and cleaned and bagged all our fish for us!  Book your next trip with Just Reel and Captain Josh!  You will not be disappointed!!

Josh was amazing!  He got a fish during his rod demonstration and our 9 year old son proceeded to catch 6 more fish in under 10 minutes!  The boat was new and Josh was well prepared with bait for the type of fishing we wanted to do (our son wanted to catch a shark).  It was an incredible day, the weather was amazing (for this time of year) and we ended up catching 25 fishes (3-4 different types).  We will definitely be chartering Josh again!

I came down to Destin for a couple days to get a little R n’ R & booked a 5 hr trip with Captain Josh.  What a fantastic day!  Captain Josh contacted me prior to my scheduled trip and asked if I’d mind if we went out an hour later because of the later sunrise would make the beginning of our trip more productive for catching bait, leaving us more time to fish.  Considerate!

Captain Josh listened to what kind of fishing I was interested in doing that day & made sure to give me the very kind of experience I was looking for.  His knowledge of the local waters, and whatever recent trends that might impact our luck seemed most beneficial towards providing a quality trip.  The boat was clean, in good repair, and was a great ride.  Thoroughly enjoyed just chatting with the captain about life & how to navigate our way through it. 

The best part of the trip?  I didn’t have to do a thing…“Just Reel”

After spending a half day out there (5 hours) I was worried how many fish would would be able to bring back, but Capt. was on it. We started out with some bottom fishing. This gave us all the fish we would need for our freezer. Then with the last half we trolled the waters a bit over some areas he had picked out. Overall an amazing experience. I got fish for the freezer and got to fight some much larger fish. He was very knowledgeable about current species in season and everything we caught he took care of. There was 2 of us on this trip and he personally took care of everything all week needed to do was reel. We would haul ‘em in he would unhook and get us going again immediately. He took care of all the measuring and everything it was a blast. Even when we ran into dolphins he was able to get us in and to another spot dolphin free in no time. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this trip and come March I will call him up again to see what is in season (since it’s always changing) to get my next trip booked.

The fishing charter we booked with Captain Josh - “Just Reel” was a memorable experience.  Started out in the morning and headed east.  Caught a few snappers (Red and Black) until the weather threaten us.  Josh moved us back towards the Destin Pass and was gracious enough to ask if we were free to continue in the afternoon.  When we got to the Pass, weather cleared but half the charter fleet was in and we headed west.  Josh apologized for the “boat ride” but reminded us we were there to fish, and fish we did.  My son Sean hit it big on the west side maxing out on snapper and a really nice sized grouper.  Josh extended our trip an hour for the inconvenience of the weather and we took full advantage.  Josh is a terrific captain and his aim is fishing and to put his customers on the fish, and that he did.  WE WILL BE BACK TO FISH with JUST REEL and Captain Josh (and his son).
