4HR SPRING SPECIAL • 3 adultsWhat an amazing fishing day!! Two of my buddies flew in from Cali and it was there first time fishing the Gulf of America. Josh and the GOA didn’t disappoint, we nailed them. Great captain and extended the trip at no charge to get us on some keeper red drum since everything we caught was too large to keep. wonderful time and we ended up shooting Captain Josh some love at the end of the trip for his hard work and perseverance. Would highly recommend.

Joe GarufiConnecticut, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedGreat day, great captain.
4HR SPRING SPECIAL • 3 adultsBooked a trip with Captain Josh for an afternoon trip. After completing a morning trip that day, he called to make us aware of not ideal conditions, suggesting we try the next day and offering to pick us up closer to our condo. Later knowing the next afternoon didnt look much better and knowing it was our last day, he took the time to plan an itenerary that would avoid the worst wind areas. Needless to say we had a very enjoyable afternoon. He also extended our time to make sure my grandson got a fish! I would highly recomend Captain Josh for your next fishing adventure. We will be definitely be doing that!

Anthony DearMassachusetts, US•Member since 20255.0VerifiedGreat day because of the Capt.
4HR SPRING SPECIAL - 1:30 PM • 4 adultsWith inshore low tide, Capt. Josh took us 9 miles offshore to deeper water. He wasn’t satisfied until fish were coming over the rails nonstop. We caught fish at every spot, but the captain kept working and found us an isolated place with larger snapper and sheepshead! Capt. Josh found a large school of suspended fish, so he changed up the rigs for everyone to slow-drift live shrimp into the strike zone! We appreciate his efforts, and everyone had a great time. We will definitely book again.
