Unforgettable Fishing Adventure!!
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 1, 2024
We had the pleasure of embarking on a delightful fishing trip with Fishhawg Fishing Charters with my family, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, it was a day filled with excitement, joy, and cherished memories—all thanks to our exceptional captain and the bounty of sought-after inshore fish we were able to catch. Captain Joshua was not only knowledgeable about the local waters and fish behaviors, but also incredibly personable and engaging. He took the time to get to know each member of our family, making sure everyone felt included and comfortable. His expertise was evident as he guided us to the perfect fishing spots, ensuring that we had plenty of opportunities to reel in some impressive catches. Speaking of which, we were thrilled to find ourselves reeling in exactly the types of fish we had hoped for! The thrill of the chase, coupled with the serene beauty of the inshore waters, made for an unparalleled experience. It was clear that Captain Joshua’s deep understanding of the area and its ecosystem played a huge role in our success. While the fishing was undoubtedly the highlight, what really made the trip special were the moments spent together as a family and with our newly minted friend. Laughing, sharing stories, and cheering each other on, we created lasting memories that we'll cherish for years to come. Overall, this fishing trip exceeded all our expectations. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure that combines expert guidance, a fantastic catch, and quality family time, I highly recommend booking a trip with this incredible captain. We'll definitely be back for more! 🎣🚤🌊

Captain Josh was awesome! He really knows his stuff... as soon as we got out there and dropped our lines my father in-law had a fish on and in the boat.. there was never a dull moment.... everyone that went out had an amazing time! We caught multiple flounder, redfish grouper and one nice snook!... it doesn't matter if your a novice or if you have been fishing for years, you'll have a blast!

Best charter I’ve had
Half Day Trip – Inshore Morning on February 25, 2025
Captain Josh was great and was at the ramp early and hospitable the whole day. Clearly knew his locations and knowledge of local spots and boat handling was top-notch. Was great with adults and my 12-year-old son. It’s always a great day when the guide is more excited than the clients and all his work and effort showed that.

Captain Josh put us on big fish from the start. If you are looking for the opportunity to catch some memorable fish....look no further. Even better than the fishing...was Captain Josh's personality and excitement for seeing others have a great time on his boat. Looking forward to the next time with Fishawg!
