There's a fish with your name on it in Panama City Beach and Knot Josh'N Charters will help you catch it! Captain Joshua will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of local experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Cobia, Flounder, Redfish, and anything else that bites. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Joshua also offers Flounder gigging.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Joshua welcomes you aboard a 24' center console with room for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. A few items to bring include a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Knot Josh'N Charters!

    Rough Weather

    4 Hour Trip – Sharks offshore on June 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We planned the trip during a week of rough weather and the fish were hard to find. we did land one small shark and had one good bite but that was it. Captain Josh was great. Thats the thihg about fishing, sometimes you win and sometimes you dont. we didnt lose becasue we all had a great time and made some memories with the family and made a new friend with Captain Josh. I’ll be calling hom again the next time im in town for sure.

    Excellent Trip!

    3hr bay fishing - 3:00 PM on July 7, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an excellent time with Captain Josh! He focused on putting us in the areas where the fish were biting. We caught a variety of fish. We are certianly no experts at deep sea fishing, but but you don’t have to be with Captain Josh. He was with us to help guide and support us every step. He is very personable, patient, and an expert in his field. We hope to schedule another trip with him in the futue!!

    great trip!

    6hr Trip - 12:00 PM on June 26, 2026 • 4 adults

    had a great day with Captain Josh and his deckhand Carter. BiL and I had my son snd his friend with us, both 13. Josh snd Carter were great with teaching the boys and being patient with them as they learned. Josh was very proactive and transparent about weather conditions. Son’s buddy caught the biggest of the day, a 28 lb red snapper on his first time fishing! great day! would definitely book with Josh again.

    Windy & Cold

    3hr bay fishing - 12:00 PM on May 13, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    What a crummy morning to go fishing! It was windy & cold but that didn't stop the fishing. I didn't go because I've been out on water like that before & my back doesn't like it. My husband, daughter & son in law all went with my 5 yr old granddaughter. They had a good time despite the weather. Even caught a few fish. Thanks Josh for the great communication & trip!

Capt. Joshua runs trips out of Panama City fl aboard a 24' center console. These waters are known for Redfish and Snappers and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With 19 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
