Captain
Josh Gyurich

Member since January 2017 Placida, United States
Background
Captain Joshua Gyurich has been hooked on fishing since he was about 5 years old. Fishing with his father, he caught what in his family is still called the "Giant Fish," a 36'' Black Drum off a sea wall in Punta Gorda. From that day on, fishing was his passion, starting with going out on his kayak and then buying his own boat. Capt. Josh now has more than 20 years of experience fishing and guiding the local waters, but still feels the rush of excitement every time the rods start bending!
Techniques
Captain Joshua likes drifting and throwing lures when he and his buddies are out, but on his charters he provides live bait such as shrimp and pin fish, as well as the option to throw some easy-to-use lures if desired.
