Captain
Joshua Edwards

Member since February 2024 Venice, United States
Background
Capt. Joshua runs trips out of Venice aboard a 2019 24’ Blazer Bay. These waters are known for Redfish and speckled trout and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're popping or bottom fishing. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
Techniques
Capt. Josh’s favorite style of fishing is shallow water with a popping cork. The feeling of watching the cork going under then setting the hook just can’t be beat! Another great feature of fishing with a cork is, for someone who is a little less experienced, the added weight of the cork allows for an easier cast as well as a visual of the bite.
