Join Captain Josh for an exciting inshore fishing adventure focused on the thrill of actively casting and hunting for some of the Gulf Coast’s most rewarding species. With a 100% Skunk Insured guarantee, Captain Josh stands behind every trip and is committed to providing an unforgettable experience on the water.

This is not a typical bottom fishing or trolling trip. You’ll be actively casting for prized inshore species like Speckled Trout and Redfish, using proven techniques and local knowledge to maximize your chances of a great catch. Whether you’re looking for a trophy trout or a keeper-sized fish to bring home for dinner, Captain Josh will share his experience and passion for inshore fishing every step of the way.

Trips run for 6 hours and typically depart between 6 AM and 12 PM depending on weather and the best fishing conditions for the day. If the fish are being challenging, Captain Josh is happy to extend the trip to make sure you have the best possible experience. All rods, tackle, bait, ice, and water are provided, so just bring your favorite snacks, drinks, and sunscreen.

You’ll fish aboard a 24-foot bay boat built for inshore action. While fishing is the focus, there’s always time to enjoy the day your way, whether that means sightseeing, dolphin watching, bird watching, or stopping by a waterfront spot or sandbar. Book a Tuesday or Wednesday trip and you may even get the chance to take a break and watch the Blue Angels practice shows.

For safety reasons, children under 13 years old are not permitted on trips. Parking is available at the ramp kiosk for $5. Please note that GoPros and lengthy recording sessions are not allowed during the trip.

Great experience with Josh Hutchinson in Pensacola
6 Hour Trip – Weekday Special on April 13, 20261 adult

Josh was an exceptional guide on our recent fishing trip. We targeted large speckled trout and that's what we caught. Josh's boat is top notch and he has many years of experience and knowledge. I am looking forward to my next trip with Josh and I would give him the best possible reference for anyone looking for a really good time on the bay.

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout

6 Hour Trip – Weekday Special on May 20, 20261 adult1 child

Josh is the best! We had an amazing family fishing trip. The boat was very comfortable and extremely clean. Josh took us to several different spots and we caught 9 trout and 1 huge red fish. My 12 year old son wanted to go back out the next day. We highly recommend Skunk Fishing and would book with Josh the next time we are in Pensacola.

Water was choppy, winds out of the NE. Not idea conditions. Caught so many speckled trout we ran out of bait in the first 2 hours and had to go catch more. Captian Josh was great.

Growing up and living near the Galveston coast, I grew a passion for fishing with my dad. That has evolved into sharing that passion with others and teaching as much as possible to my clients! I hope to meet you soon!
