Our family enjoyed the day out catching fish! Clearly Captain Josh has been fishing these waters since he was little. He showed us how to catch bait and it helped bring in more bites. We caught a lot of Snook, Red, Trout, Flounder and even shark. Beautiful scenery, along with the dolphins jumping around the boat! All smiles today, our family will definitely be going back out!
Captain Josh was a great guide- he shared information about each place we fished regarding target fish, depth, type of bottom, etc. He also gave us lots of interesting insight about the history of the area and impact of weather events and tourism. We caught lots of fish which kept things interesting and exciting and we kept redfish and trout. Overall an enjoyable four hours! We had appreciative folks back at the grill for a wonderful fresh fish dinner! I would gladly recommend Captain Josh for a great fishing experience!
We had a great time with Captain Josh and his sister Jessica. We asked to combine fishing and swimming for our family of 5 with young kids and it was one of the highlights of the week! Josh & Jessica were kind, knowledgeable, and patient. We had a blast and will definitely reach out next time we're in town!
We took the kids fishing for the very first time and had such a fun adventure! We started around Bradenton and Anna Maria Island, stopping at different spots to try our luck. After a few tries, one of the kids caught the first fish and was so excited! Captain Josh was incredibly patient and helpful, taking us from place to place until we found the right spots. We eventually made it down to Sarasota, where we saw dolphins, sharks, and even a hammerhead—it was amazing! One of the kids kept catching fish after fish (including a catfish we released), but the real MVP was the one who patiently waited and ended up catching most of the fish we kept. It was such a memorable family experience. Captain Josh made the whole trip easy, exciting, and fun.
Captain Joshua and Jessica made sure my family and I had a fun trip! they are very friendly and know a lot about fishing! would recommend and would go again when we are back!
We had a really good time catching trout, Spanish mackerel, and redfish Captain Josh put us on the fish really quick. I highly recommend them.
