Caught fish all day!  Josh does a great job.

We had an absolute blast with Captain Josh and his first mate, Jenny!  Probably the most important is that both of them worked their butts off keeping fresh bait on all four of our lines.  Our asks prior to going: 1) Have fun - celebrating two of the girls’ birthdays.  2) Catch colorful fish (not the brownish ones other charters catch off shore) and 3) Outfish the guys in our group ;).  SUCCESS!  I lost track of the number of places Josh drove us to fish. We’d stay a bit, catch fish and when it slowed down, we’d move again.  While we didn’t personally catch a trophy fish, we had a blast catching between 70-80 fish (way more than MN pan fishing!).  The keepers are in the photos.  He cleaned all of them so we could fry them up for dinner that night.  Would leverage him again for sure!

Would be perfect boat for inshore or fearsome fishing.

WOW!!! This was an out of EARTH experience. Before the trip even started, Captain Josh had amazing communication with me on what to expect and planning our custom trip to the type of fish we wanted to catch and what we wanted to do. The customer was first and there was no question about that even once. We got on the water before our scheduled start time with everything being ready. We did not waste even one minute waiting for him to prepare because he did his prep professionally.

When we got on the water the boat was smooth and he did a great job maintaining the level of the boat out over 35 miles. We got a very professional “how to” catch the fish in the area. We spent about 20 minutes or so as a practice dropping the lines and learning how to maintain tension on the fish to bring them up with ease.

The areas that he scouted and brought us to we either brought up a good sized keeper, had a good fight on the line, had a catch and release, or lost the bait within minutes when the fish out smarted me.

With every time a fish got hooked, Captain Josh was motivational and drew his attention to us and coached us on how to maintain tension and what to do so we didn’t lose the hook or snap the line. I was able to hook an almost 5 foot barracuda and when my fight was over (I couldn’t reel anymore because I was gassed) I asked Captain Josh to help and he finished the fight getting him to the boat where we were able to successfully get him for a picture!

Captain Josh provided education on why certain species were protected and what seasons we could keep certain fish. Safety was obviously his number one priority and very professionally obtained our attention if we were doing something unsafe.

There is so much more to say but to summarize it I will say these words: Professional, Experienced, Rewarding, Fun, Challenging, Exciting, Supportive, Innovative, Team player, Comfortable, Integrity.

I have a very large network from around the United States and Captain Josh has my referral which will be given to all of them!!!!
