Good Day on the Water!
4 Hour inshore on June 18, 20262 adults

Captain Josh was a great guide- he shared information about each place we fished regarding target fish, depth, type of bottom, etc. He also gave us lots of interesting insight about the history of the area and impact of weather events and tourism. We caught lots of fish which kept things interesting and exciting and we kept redfish and trout. Overall an enjoyable four hours! We had appreciative folks back at the grill for a wonderful fresh fish dinner! I would gladly recommend Captain Josh for a great fishing experience!

6 hour Inshore morning on August 1, 20265 adults1 child

Josh and Jessica showed up on time with a cooler full of bait ready to go we were met with a rain storm they handled it perfect and they took us around to many different locations to ensure we caught fish. A local that grew up on the water; he was able to navigate us safely and knew the area well.

Awesome Fishing & Swim Trip!
4 Hour inshore - 12:00 PM on June 25, 20265 adults

We had a great time with Captain Josh and his sister Jessica. We asked to combine fishing and swimming for our family of 5 with young kids and it was one of the highlights of the week! Josh & Jessica were kind, knowledgeable, and patient. We had a blast and will definitely reach out next time we're in town!
