The charter operation canceled -1 days after the trip date.
What an amazing fishing day!! Two of my buddies flew in from Cali and it was there first time fishing the Gulf of America. Josh and the GOA didn’t disappoint, we nailed them. Great captain and extended the trip at no charge to get us on some keeper red drum since everything we caught was too large to keep. wonderful time and we ended up shooting Captain Josh some love at the end of the trip for his hard work and perseverance. Would highly recommend.
thanks for the awesome review!.
We had a great trip with Captain Josh! We had 3 adults and 3 kids (ages 11 and 13) for a 2 hour trip, and Captain Josh made sure we all had bait and lines out the whole time. We caught Spotted Sea Trout, Ladyfish, Grouper, Jack, Flounder, and Bluefish – we were able to keep the Trout and Bluefish, and it fed all of us for dinner! He had a nice, clean boat and was very knowledgeable. Works hard to put you on the fish, would 100% recommend!
thanks for the great review, glad you guys enjoyed yourselves! Look forward to seeing you again.
Booked a trip with Captain Josh for an afternoon trip. After completing a morning trip that day, he called to make us aware of not ideal conditions, suggesting we try the next day and offering to pick us up closer to our condo. Later knowing the next afternoon didnt look much better and knowing it was our last day, he took the time to plan an itenerary that would avoid the worst wind areas. Needless to say we had a very enjoyable afternoon. He also extended our time to make sure my grandson got a fish! I would highly recomend Captain Josh for your next fishing adventure. We will be definitely be doing that!
thank you for such a great review and for recognizing my efferts you guys were a joy to have on the boat and i hope to see you all again!
Cpt. Josh and First Mate, Nick, made sure we caught fish and when a spot ran out they put us on more. They cleaned the fish for us and it was an overall great experience. Would give them more stars if I could. Will definitely book them again if I’m in the area. Thanks fellas!
hey man i’m really glad you you and your family had a good time. Thank’s for the great review. look forward to next time..
