Half Day Trip (AM)
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.

afternoon/night Snook light fishing
I recently had the pleasure of going on a guided saltwater fly fishing trip with Josh, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. Josh's patience and attention to detail were evident from the moment we met. He took the time to thoroughly explain the area, ensuring I had a solid understanding of what to expect, and most importantly, how to maximize our time on the water. We opted for the night lights trip, which turned out to be a fantastic choice. The tranquility of having the water to ourselves, combined with Josh’s expert guidance, made for an unforgettable adventure. He made sure I was always on the fish, offering tips and adjustments along the way, which significantly enhanced the overall experience. Josh exceeded all my expectations, turning what could have been a simple fishing trip into a memorable experience. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated guide who genuinely cares about making your trip exceptional, I can't recommend Josh highly enough. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with him!

Even though the water and air temperatures, and wind conditions, were not ideal, Captain Josh tried his best to put us on fish. We fished a good number of spots and ran into a few fish. No complaints. Felt I was fishing with an old friend who genuinely cared that I catch some fish. I would book again.
