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!
Just spent the day with Capt. Josh! Extremely talented, very personable, excellent teacher, increased my fishing knowledge, great day trip! Highly recommend Capt Joshua Hyrczyk @ naplesbackwatercharters! I've fished with a lot of Guides from Florida to Canada, Josh is excellent! I look very much look forward to our next trip!
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.
Josh was amazing. Clean skiff, top of the line Shimano gear, totally knowledgable on the local fishery. I really wanted to catch my first snook, and within 10 minutes of fishing I boated multiple fish. 100% will be booking Josh again if I come back to Naples.
Captain Joshua Hyrczyk did a fantastic job putting us on fish .Managed to catch a few fish on a slow day. Well worth the experience even getting to the spots was a blast in his very nimble boat . Will definitely book again JTO

Your captain
I have spent over 20 years navigating and patterning the complex backwaters of Naples, Marco Island,10k islands and the Everglades. As a dedicated shallow-water specialist, my passion lies entirely in technical fly fishing and light-tackle artificial lure angling. I thrive on the strategy of the hunt and polling the shallowest flats, guiding anglers to their bucket-list backcountry catches. Whether you are a seasoned fly caster looking to refine your presentation or a light-tackle angler eager to explore the remote mangroves of Southwest Florida, my goal is to provide an elite, educational, and unforgettable day on the water.
