    Near-Constant Near-Shore Action

    6 Hour Trip — Nearshore Fishing3 adults

    Capt Josh was great. Called the night before and recommended to slip our departure an hour due to forecast sea state. Great call. It was a rough ride out to the rigs, but he got us there smartly and my daughter hooked up with a nice Jack enroute. We did a quick troll for Kings with no luck, then my youngest immediately caught a 41" Cobia. Over the rest of the day we caught a 39" Cobia (throw back) and a handful of State Snapper (2 keepers). Capt Josh and his Mate were highly attentive the whole day. Most likely going back for the Bull Red run.

    Had an amazing experience with the family!

    4 Hour Trip — Bay & Jetty - 1:00 PM5 adults3 children

    Josh was on top of everything from start to finish. The weather wasn’t ideal, but it didn’t stop us from having an amazing time on the water. The kids were catching fish almost immediately after their lines hit the water, which made the trip even more exciting. We caught a great variety of fish, including catfish, sheepshead, ladyfish, speckled trout, and the highlight of the day, sandbar sharks. Josh was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone had a great experience. We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing excursion for the whole family.

    Absolutely phenomenal experience with Line Check Charters and Captain Josh!

    6 Hour Trip — Nearshore Fishing5 adults1 child

    We had two men, two teenagers, and a pre-teen on board, and Captain Josh delivered one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had. From the moment we left the dock, he put us right on the fish—nonstop action, great variety, and plenty of excitement for every age in our group. Captain Josh was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to fish with. He worked hard the entire trip, kept everyone engaged, and made sure each of the kids had their own big moments. By the time we headed back in, we were all smiling, worn out in the best way, and our freezer is now completely full. If you’re looking for a captain who knows the water, knows the fish, and knows how to create an unforgettable day for families, Line Check Charters and Captain Josh are the way to go. We’ll be booking again without hesitation.
