    Half day fishing with Captain Josh

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    We went with my sister, her son, and my wife about 13 miles out. In just 4 hours we caught a shark, caught several "bait fish", saw a super rare leatherback turtle, and even landed a 36lb Amberjack to take home to eat! Josh was super funny the whole trip and extremely helpful to my 6 year old nephew. It was really cute to see him interact with him. When we were slowly reeling in the amberjack, he was really good at coaching us on how to bring it in and even kept it light hearted through all the hard work! On our way back we even spotted a manta ray too. Once we got back to shore, he fileted the monster amberjack and so we had fish tacos tonight. Thanks Josh and Ponce Inlet Water Sports!!

    The Girl won!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 6 adults

    Great day!! Captain Josh was Great! He took time with all of us to ensure we knew what to do. We all caught fish and my niece caught the biggest. Josh helped rub that in to all of us guys. Hit some rain but did not let it ruin our day. Josh navigated around it and got us back on the fish. We will definitely book again next year with Josh. Thanks for a great day.

    Wonderful experience with Josh! My family loved it. Seen dolphins, sting rays, sea turtles and caught several unique species that were super cool to see!

What's biting with Ponce Inlet Water Sports in Ponce Inlet

Inshore fishing for Black Drum, Redfish, and Sheepshead is exciting. In the reefs, bottom-feeding Snapper and Grouper give you a run for your money.
