Captain Josh was great, and we had a successful trip
Full Day Trip – Inshore/Bay on July 19, 20262 adults

Captain Josh put us on fish pretty quickly with our summer inland fishing trip. Reds, Specs, Black Drum, Flounder, a black tip. Lots of under sized, but the catch was fun. Back at the dock the gentlemen cleaning the fish said that at 3PM we had the largest haul of reds for the day. While that is subjective it is a testament to Captain Josh's ability to find them. I would recommend Captain Josh for your if you are looking for a good Port O' trip. He is very knowledgeable and worked very hard to get us on the bite. We plan on using him again in the future.

It was fun
6 Hour Trip Am - Private on August 18, 20262 adults

It started a little slow, captain moved around we caught some trout. We moved again found redfish caught a few, we could see the fish they just wouldn't bite. We then went shark fishing, wow it was fun. I will be back, if you want a guide that will find fish give Josh a call.

Reported catch:
Redfish
Speckled Trout

Amazing time catching shark
Half Day Trip – Private - 1:00 PM on July 3, 20265 adults

Our grop had an amazing time on our fishing charter. Our captain, Josh, put us on the perfect spot and we spent a few hours catching shark and having fun. Highly recommend booking a fishing charter every time while visiting the coast. 5 stars were well earned.
