Captain
Josh Houle

Member since December 2021 Summerland Key, United States
Background
Captain Josh was born and raised in New England where his father was always taking him fishing. This became the Captain's passion and he always wanted to go to south Florida where he could do it all year long. He left home and joined the Marine Corps, when he returned home, he settled down and made his own way on the waterways of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. On a vacation down to the keys with his wife and kids, Captain Josh and his family decided this is where they belonged. The captain has spent nearly everyday on the water since his arrival and it's his passion to share this experience and be able to make a living doing it!
Techniques
Captain Josh and his crew know the local bite and they get you on the fish. They also have some resident spots to make sure you have a great time. They watch the weather and make sure everyone has a safe and comfortable trip!
