Morning bay trip with Cap'n Josh of Reel Runners

3 Hour Morning Trip on June 14, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

We had a great trip with Cap'n Josh.  We were primarily targeting Reds...Caught several different inshore species.... able to keep several for a nice big bag of filets. Caught a nice Red within 5 seconds of the very first cast.  Cap'n Josh is full service....will keep everyone baited up and even cast for you if you'd like.  Plenty of different bait and multiple rod/reel combos available....He will clean and bag your catch for you when you get back to the marina.  Cap'n Josh is very pleasant and knowledgable of the area.  Plan to circle up with him again in the near future.  Thank you.

Thank you, Zeke! I really appreciate the kind words and detailed feedback. I had a blast fishing with your crew and I’m glad we got on the reds so fast! It’s always my goal to make the trip as easy and enjoyable as possible, so I’m glad y’all felt well taken care of. Hope to have you back out on the water again soon!

Tight lines,

Destin family vacation 2025

3 Hour Afternoon Trip on June 18, 2025 • 4 adults

A Good time was had by my son and I including our extended family. I found Joshua, our captain, very knowledgeable of the area and easy to talk too. We throughly enjoyed the late afternoon trip. While the fishing wasn’t as exciting considering we only caught a few, it was still worth the journey and time spent. Would recommend to everyone
