Welcome to Reel Talk Charters! Owned and operated by Captain Joshua Sepulveda, this charter offers a year-round fishing adventure. Capt. Joshua is a saltwater guide, offering an array of personal guided fishing charters from wading the flats for Flounder, cruising the bays for Trout, to trolling the rip currents for big Mahi Mahi, and more!

The trip starts on a 22’ Nauticstar bay boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. She’s powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and features the latest navigational elelctronics. The boat also comes with a live bait tank and all fishing equipment you’ll need for the day.

You can switch between light and heave tackle, depending on the fish you want to catch. Besides the ones already mentioned above, you can also catch Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and many more.

Capt. Joshua lets you keep the fish you catch and cleans it for you before you leave the boat. If you’re booking a morning trip, you’re getting back to the marina just on time for lunch! All your fishing equipment is covered, so you only need to get your license and pack some snacks and drinks.

Reel Talk Charters’ goal is not only to put you on the catch of a lifetime, but to make it one of the most memorable adventures of your life.
