Get out there and enjoy a fun, laid-back light tackle sportfishing trip on beautiful Clearwater beach. On this trip with Captain Josh Blank you'll be going after classic species including Snook, Redfish, Sea Trout, and more! There are multiple options for your adventure, so you can find what's best for you.

On the 2-hour charter, you'll get a great introduction to Clearwater and have time to catch multiple species of fish. This is ideal for visitors, first-timers, couples, seniors, or parents with children of all ages. Of course, you'll be treated to professional, family-friendly service and courteous expert instruction.

Four hours provides a greater opportunity to cover a larger area of Clearwater and catch more fish. Many people find this amount of time ideal for entertaining friends, clientele or hosting bachelor parties. Have a blast, while competing to see who catches the biggest fish or most fish.

Six hours is highly recommended to maximize your fishing adventure This charter is ideal for avid anglers, and enthusiasts looking to hone their inshore angling skills. Experience fishing numerous grass flats, mangrove shorelines, oyster beds, creeks and back-bays and nearshore

Eight hours is recommended for the ultimate fishing adventure on Clearwater bay This is ideal for hardcore anglers looking to maximize their inshore experience. Fish multiple grass flats, mangroves, oyster beds, creeks, back bays and bridges.

No matter the adventure you select, you'll have a great time fishing with Captain Josh He provides premium spin, or plug fishing tackle such as Saint Croix, Bull Bay, Shimano, and Penn. Live-bait, artificial lures, ice, bottled drinking water and sunscreen lotion is also provided. He will also fillet, bag, and ice your catch, should you decide to keep some fish for lunch or dinner!

His 26' Andros, “regarded as the best bay boat in the industry,” is ideal for fishing the inshore and offshore environment and was refurbished in 2022.

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore

Full day trip with captain Josh.

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!
