Awesome Guide/Awesome Trip
Half Day Trip on March 9, 2026 • 2 adults
Joshua knows where, when and how to get on fish. I wanted to catch my first snook and he did not disappoint. The first cast I took, I had my first photo worthy snook. After a few more fish during the morning, he pointed me to a productive wall of mangroves and a topwater connection on a 28” snook. Joshua is friendly, knowledgeable and a great dude, someone you’d be wanting to fish with often. When I return to the Naples area, this is the guy I’m calling. Great day, great equipment, great guy!

Great day! All artificial!

If you're looking for an incredible backwater fishing experience, look no further than this one! My recent trip with Captain Joshua was absolutely phenomenal, exceeding all expectations. We not only hit some truly stunning backwater spots but also reeled in an impressive haul of fish that made for an unforgettable day.
From the moment we pushed off, it was clear that Captain Joshua knows these waters like the back of his hand. He skillfully navigated the intricate network of mangroves and shallow flats, always seemingly one step ahead of the fish. The boat seemed to be fueled by pure optimism. Thanks for a great.

Captain Josh is Amazing!
Half Day Trip on February 4, 2026 • 2 adults
Amazing, just after one of the longest cold spells Southern Florida has seen, Capitan Josh still had his spots that did produce some good fish. Besides finding the fish, Josh will make it feel as if you were fishing with a good buddy with his friendly personality. Fished with some top rated tackle! Thanks for a wonderful time on the water.
