If you’re looking for a great backcountry fishing trip while visiting the Marco Island Area a day on the water with Captain Josh is exactly what you want! He is a young aggressive local born and raised Captain who knows the waters like the back of his hand. Our trip was booked for Monday morning and he called us on Saturday afternoon and asked if we wanted to switch to Sunday afternoon because bad weather was forecast for Monday. We said yes and met him at noon at the Goodland Marina Park. He had tons of fresh caught bait (no purchased shrimp here) and top notch custom rods and reels. The boat was spotless and in great condition! I had my wife with me and she loved Josh! Oh yeah by the way we caught 25 Snook a Mangrove Snapper and a Jack. The most fun and best day ever fishing in SW Florida.

Weather was not optimal on original schedule but we had flexibility to move a day or two.  Captain Josh took care of the change and did a great job servicing us.  A wonderful day on the water

We had an AMAZING day out on the water today fishing with Captain Josh!! My son and I wanted to have a Father/Son day doing some fishing and chose Captain Josh from amongst the many choices available in the Marco Island/Naples area and he delivered on all accounts. First, Josh is just a great guy. You’re always a little nervous meeting someone for the first time, especially when you have to spend half a day with them on a fishing boat. But Josh immediately put us at ease. He is very understanding and patient with newbies like us and was as good as a teacher as he was a guide. The boat and equipment were immaculate and he had plenty of ice and refreshments available for us. But come on, we were there to catch fish…and boy did we ever do that! For as tough as the conditions were (it was pretty cold and the waters were murky), Josh consistently had our fishing reels whizzing with a variety of species, 5 different ones in all. At days end, we had caught well over thirty fish and took home something special for dinner!! Oh, and we even got to watch as a family of dolphins played in our boat’s wake. Overall, a bonding day like no other…thank you Captain Jake for the wonderful outing!!!

We had an amazing morning on the water with Capt. Josh.  Even when tide conditions were not at their best, Capt. Josh was able to put us on fish.  Today’s catch was snook and snapper… A first for us, and something we will look forward to again.  We kept the snapper to make snapper taco’s which was new to us, based of Capt. Josh’s suggestion and again it was amazing.  He cleaned and iced the fish for us, which was nice.  I highly recommend Capt. Josh for your adventure. 

Capt. Josh!  If you ever want to give Hard water fishing (Ice fishing) up in Northern MN, give me a call, I will take you out anytime… You Sir are good people.

Thanks again for a heck of a good time!
