Hey guys, my name is Josh Meyers, and I'm proud to share my passion for fishing and the water with every trip I run. I've been fishing my entire life and have spent the last six to seven years operating fishing charters, giving me the experience and local knowledge to make sure each outing is both fun and successful.

Whether you're looking to hook into some fish, kick back with a few drinks, or simply escape the daily grind and relax on the water, I've got you covered. We can target a variety of local species, or if you prefer, we can cruise over to a nearby sandbar for a swim, some sun, and a laid-back island vibe.

No matter what kind of adventure you're after, I'll tailor the trip to your group so it's exactly what you're looking for. From serious anglers chasing their next trophy to families just wanting a fun day in the sun, I make sure everyone has a great time.

So grab your friends or family, book a trip with me, and let's get out there to make some memories on the water!

Hi guys, I am a Florida native, born and raised here in Tampa. I got my fishing license years back not only because of my passion for fishing, but also teaching others everything they need to know how to fish and putting smiles on faces.
