Flexibility is the Key !!!

Jan 19, 2024 Sarasota

With very tough weather patterns to predict the key is being flexible with times and trusting your captain (who's on the water everyday) with last minute decisions on when to go out on each particular day!!! This time of year i try to block the whole day for my clients so we can go out when the weather and the tide is the best!! If you have flexibility in your schedule you can turn a day like today which was forecasted 40-60% showers all day by weather Channel into one of the best bites we've had this year so far !!! Trust your captain not the forecast!!!!

Gator Trout and Pompano Winter Wonderlan

Fantastic day fishing in Sarasota, Captain took great care of my wife & I, fished several great spots, one in particular we caught some really good black drum. Kept a couple of fish to eat which the Captain expertly prepared for us. A very enjoyable day & highly recommend. Simon & Tracy

I had a great trip with Captain Josh. We were on fish my first cast and the action never stopped the rest of the day. We both had a lot in common so there was never a time when we weren’t talking or catching fish. I certainly would recommend Captain Josh to anyone who’s looking to fish in the area.

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Capt. Josh Harris. The pick up location was very easy to get to and he was there waiting, and ready to head out. He has a great boat that’s easy to move around in and the fishing gear & equipment was excellent. He had everything you need, including drinks & snacks. Capt. Josh is very nice, knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be around . He was very focused on making sure I caught fish, and also a good instructor in casting & catching different types... More

After letting me know it was a little early for the Tarpon bite Josh agreed to give it a shot. We were on top of them almost instantly. We even made a quick run back to get some different live bait to try. Which I thought was pretty cool. He was knowledgeable and did everything in his power to try to get into one of those fish. After a few hrs chasing the Tarpon we headed back into the channel and got on some trout and reds right away. The rush of seeing those Tarpon breach the water 20ft.... More
