Morning bay trip with Cap'n Josh of Reel Runners
3 Hour Morning Trip on June 14, 2025
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.

Destin family vacation 2025
3 Hour Afternoon Trip on June 18, 2025
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

Caught our first fish on the first cast!
2 Hour – Family Adventure Weekend on May 4, 2025
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.
