We wanted to catch so green fish and Capt Josh made it happen. Almost 3hrs no fish then 4 inside 30min followed by a 5th another 30min later. We chose to stop at 5 to save somr for others. Lol. Actually 5 was enough for our needs. I would recommend booking with Capt Josh and I'll do it again.
It was a great day with a fellow Veteran, Chief 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Had to do it!!!! And fresh dinner too
We caught two mahi but werent able to get them on the actual boat. Captain Josh did everything he could to land us on more fish, but the company was great and experience was fun! Would recommend Captain Josh to anyone.
You guys were awesome to have onboard! I enjoyed the day!
Captain Josh got us on the yellow tail and everybody got a catch, even some that had never fished before. He was very patient in teaching us how to haul them in. We also had 1 in our party with some physical concerns and the captain was very accommodating and made sure everyone had a great time and was taken care of. Have already booked my next trip!
Thank you TJ for the review!!!! We're looking forward to Friday and of course GBO!!!!!
We were met by friendly crew and Capt. Josh. He explained everything to us and went over everything on the boat before we left. Once out on the water it was nothing but tight lines and awesome fishing for the rest of the day. Another plus was after a long day of fishing is that the crew cleaned and prepped the fish so I could just go home and start cooking an awesome dinner.100% recommend southern son. We will for sure be back to try snorkeling and a sunset cruise.

I fell in love with the blue water and the offshore fishing atmosphere after catching my 1st Mahi! From there on, I wanted to learn everything when it came to catching offshore fish. I'm a Navy Veteran, Firefighter/Paramedic as well.
