Captain

Josh Houle

Summerland Key, United States

100+ reviews

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!

family outing
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 31, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child
my wife and bonus kids have never been ocean fishing, they spent most there life up West Texas. i grew up in FL and lived in CA for many years. we had a great time. everyone got to reel in a fish. Captain Josh was awesome, super knoweleable of the area and just plan fun to talk with. I would have gone a full day but you know kids they loose interest after a while whether your catching or not.

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 2, 2026 • 4 adults
Awesome trip. A bit windy but we made it work. Caught a barracuda bigger than anything we've caught in Minnesota. They filleted it for us and we took it to the restaurant next door where they cooked half for the four of us and we had enough to take back for another meal. Thanks guys!
