    Amazing trip!

    4 Hour Trip — Inshore on March 27, 2025 • 5 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.

    4 Hour Trip — Inshore on October 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught a bunch of fish. Capn Josh brought us to several places and was so patient and helpful. He knows the area like the back of his hand. My sons and I have done several charters and Josh was the best yet!

    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!

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.
