About Your Guide

Joshua Calhoon

Independent Guide
Captain Josh has been fishing in and around Destin, FL since he was 6 years old, bribing his older sister for rides to the pier, and has been charter fishing for the past 16 years. Josh has fished everywhere from the back bays of the Destin/Ft. Walton area to the offshore oil rigs. During Josh's 20+ years of fishing, he has had the opportunity to fish with some of Destin's finest captains, and has developed a reputation for being a well-respected fisherman as well as being great with kids of all ages. He won the Captain of the Year award in the Destin Fishing Rodeo from 2017-2019.

On his days off he can be found fishing with his wife & 5 year old daughter, who is also

Joshua was great! We had several young people fishing, and he was very patient with and attentive to them. We caught redfish, speckled trout, and Spanish mackerel and had a great time. Highly recommend him!
