Josh is very knowledgeable in numerous fishing techniques in whatever species you want to pursue. He reacts to the weather conditions and has locations for anything mother nature brings. Josh is willing to make moves to ensure you find fish. He shared a great deal of his knowledge and was a blast to spend the day with. He focused on fishing but catered to our entire families (kids and wives). If you choose Just Reel, you are sure to have a great time and bring home fish! Thanks Josh!

We had a 6 hour trip scheduled with Captain Josh but the weather was not promising. The captain asked if we’d like to push back a couple hours to allow storms to pass and we did. However, the weather was not cooperating and asked if we’d like to reschedule our trip if we had availability 2 days later. It was completely up to us but we trusted his judgement and agreed. The weather was perfect and it turned out beautiful day! Our kids had fun and so did we! We maxed out on Red Snapper and released a lot back. We also encountered a huge school of Mahi Mahi and it was amazing to see. They were small but we did keep 3. We also brought back a few Black Snappers. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Will definitely do this again with Captain Josh next time we go to Destin. Captain Josh made sure we were all comfortable, was fun to be with, was very knowledgeable, and put us right on the fish!

Captain Josh provided a most exceptional charter for our group. The boat was perfect, and he put us on the fish! We targeted mingo snappers and caught a mess of them. Lots of other exciting fish were caught too from amberjack to grouper. We finished the day snagging a huge King Mackerel!

My two boys (7 & 9) had never been on a deep sea charter before, but Captain Josh did a great job making them comfortable and helping them throughout the day. They learned a lot and said it was the best fishing they’ve ever done.

If you’re looking for a very knowledgeable, professional captain, this is your guy.

Great trip w my three kids and family friend. Captain contacted me day prior to trip to confirm expectations and concerns about possible weather. Suggested we push start back 1hour to get forecast update from other boats leaving at 5am. We got off ontime at 7am no weather issues, we stayed within sight of coastline which I wanted because my kids sometimes get motion sickness, we deep sea or bay fish in Destination for the the last 9 years! Capt was prep and ready, greeted everyone and went of some boating safety tips! We caught 20 keeps of mangrove snappers and some chocolate porgy. Capt keep us on fish and moved us quickly when bites slowed! Overall great trip, eating will be nice for Father’s Day when we get back to Madison, Alabama!

Captain Josh is absolutely awesome! Can’t say enough good things about him. Completely professional & a genuine good guy, my kids loved him. Is definitely passionate about his job. Even to the point of how excited he gets watching his patrons catch fish. If you listen to what he says, you will catch fish. He is extremely knowledgeable on the fish and their habits. My family and I had an amazing time. We will definitely be using Captain Josh for years to come. Thanks Josh for everything, especially for the lifetime memories.
