Trip was fun!
4 Hour Trip — Inshore on March 31, 20263 adults

Josh our captain was timely, friendly, knowledgeable, seeked out fishing spots, baited our rods, and offered fishing tips, the boat was the perfect size for our needs. We highly recommend his services and we would definitely use him again when we’re vacationing here. Thanks Josh for a fun, knowledgeable, relaxing fishing trip! Until next time, catch some for us!

Captain Justin was awesome and worked hard for us even when the bite was tough. Not every captain will always work as hard for some outsiders. Thanks Justin!

Amazing trip!
4 Hour Trip — Inshore on March 27, 20255 adults

We had an amazing trip with Captain Josh. He made our trip a priority and created an memorable trip for our family. We were not expecting the sea turtle and dolphin that also visited us while out on the water. Josh provided lots of information on the area as we were fishing. Angler's Choice Family Fishing will be our destination for future fishing trips. Thank you Josh for an amazing experiece.

Full day trip with captain Josh.
6 Hour Trip — Nearshore on November 11, 2024

I booked Josh for a full day trip on a particularly windy day. Was a little worried that it'd be a tough day on the water but the smoothness of Josh's boat and his abilities we're on full display. Comfortable trip from start to finish. Josh had bait, snacks, drinks rods and reels at the ready. Even on a windy day, Josh knew the spots to go to find the fish (which we did!!!) and to keep us out of the wind. Josh took what could have been a challenging trip for most and turned it into an amazing day. Will definitely be booking with him in the future!

Operating a Andros Tarpon 26 bay boat, Capt. Josh ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Clearwater, Florida. Keep your eyes peeled for snook Speckled Trout and Gag Grouper as you try your hand at spinning, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
