Great morning on the water for Father's Day weekend!!!!!!
Morning guided trip on June 14, 20252 adults2 children
Met up with Captian Joshua for a morning 1/2 day trip and had a great experience! Captian Joshua was great with my 2 sons who are fairly new to fishing, and was also really helpful with my father and I who are experienced. The boat was well maintained and got us to the spots quickly. First cast caught a keeper black drum and we were catching reds all the way up until the end. Great time on the water getting that Texas Slam, thanks Captain Joshua!

Morning guided trip on March 1, 2025
Both times fishing with Captain Josh have been amazing trips! Got my limit both times for Black Drum, and had tons of catch and release action. I would say he definitely knows the waters he fishes, and makes a solid effort to put you on spots where the biting from the fish is insane! I haven't fished like this in a long time where your bait hits the water and it's immediately getting bites. He also explained how you can tell the difference between the bites of different species of fish out there. I thought that was an expert level tip and many times he would be able to accurately call which fish was on the line based on how it was taking the bait. Can't recommend enough!

My wife and I booked a trip with Captain Joshua McDonald. This was by far the BEST fishing charter we have ever experienced! Everything was perfect!

Josh is great!!!!!
Morning guided trip on May 25, 20253 adults
Josh worked hard putting us on fish. Extremely windy day but maneuvered the boat well always making sure the fishing site were good and the ride was smooth. He even allowed our little dog on board. When we fish this area again, Josh is who we will call!!!
