Awesome day on the water!

2 Hour Trip – Inshore Special - 1:30 PM4 adults2 children

Captain Joshua was fantastic – our original trip had to be rescheduled due to riptides/water safety, and he worked with us to find a time that would work for us. Captain Dakota was our host for the trip and he couldn’t have been more amazing - great personality, incredible knowledge of fishing and of the area, and tons of patience. We all caught fish, learned a lot, and had an incredible time. Our two sons loved it, and we will definitely be back.

    Great day, great captain.

    4HR SPRING SPECIAL • 3 adults

    Booked 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!

    caught giant red drum

    4HR SPRING SPECIAL • 3 adults

    What 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.

    Great Trip with Captain Josh!!

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore Special • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had a great trip with Captain Josh! We had 3 adults and 3 kids (ages 11 and 13) for a 2 hour trip, and Captain Josh made sure we all had bait and lines out the whole time. We caught Spotted Sea Trout, Ladyfish, Grouper, Jack, Flounder, and Bluefish – we were able to keep the Trout and Bluefish, and it fed all of us for dinner! He had a nice, clean boat and was very knowledgeable. Works hard to put you on the fish, would 100% recommend!

    Great day because of the Capt.

    4HR SPRING SPECIAL - 1:30 PM • 4 adults

    With 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.
