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.

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.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on March 27, 2025

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!

The captain was the best we had so much fun and learned a few things along the way. This truly was the best part of the trip. The boat was so clean, and the captain really knew what he was doing.

Capt Josh was great. He accommodated us at the last minute and was a total pro throughout the trip. And we found a ton of fish! Couldn't be happier with the day we had. Thanks for a real good time.
