Capt. Joshua will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, King Mackerel, Trout, Sharks, and Snapper, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, jigging, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 21’ Yamaha 210 Fish Sport boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet, an ice-box, and a wireless trolling motor.
