"Reel Runners" gear every trip to the family or individuals on board, ensuring the best experience is always provided! You’ll join Captain Joshua Regans, a passionate angler who grew up fishing the Choctawhatchee Bay. Whether you’re hoping to break a personal record, teach your kids how to fish, or just to enjoy the waters, you’re bound to have a good time!
Hop aboard a 22’ Century center console equipped with dual power poles and I-Pilot systems, GPS, Fish Finder, and a wireless trolling motor. She’s the ideal choice for 4 anglers or a family with up to 3 young kids. Capt. Joshua also brings along snorkeling gear if you want to take a peek at the world below – just let him know in advance.
Capt. Joshua specializes in inshore and bay fishing and your main targets are Redfish and Spotted Seatrout. That’s not all though, there’s plenty of Red Snapper, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Flounder, Black Drum, and Bluefish to go after, depending on seasonality.
All of your gear and bait awaits on board and Capt. Joshua also brings along bottled water and snacks you can help yourself to. At the end of the trip, he’s happy to clean and fillet your catch for easy transport home. Feel free to bring any other refreshments you’d like and don’t forget the sunscreen!
Join Capt. Joshua and Reel Runners and enjoy year-round trip under the Florida sun!

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!

Caught our first fish on the first cast!
2 Hour – Family Adventure Weekend on May 4, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
I took my father and 4yo son on one of the 2hr family fishing adventures with Captain Josh. We caught our first fish within about 10 minutes of meeting Josh (on the very first cast no less), and the fish kept on coming. We brought in a bunch of red fish, a few mangrove snappers, a speckled trout, and a couple rays. It was the perfect fishing trip for my son’s limited attention span, and Captain Josh did a great job making the trip fun for both kids and adults.

Thank you, Cory! I really appreciate you choosing Reel Runners for your family fishing adventure. It was a blast having you, your dad, and your little man on the boat. I’m so glad we got that first fish on the first cast—can’t ask for a better start than that! It means a lot to hear that the trip was a good fit for your son, and I’m happy everyone had a fun, action-packed couple of hours. Hope to see y’all back out on the water soon!

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
