About Your Trip

Join Captain Josh on the beautiful inshore waters of the Upper Keys On this trip, you'll be searching for classic Florida sportfish including Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Bonefish, and more. These fish are a thrill to catch, and provide a great challenge for anglers of every level. The trip can accommodate just two guests, so you'll have Captain Josh's full attention while you work your bait. He's an expert angler, and has a ton of helpful tips to improve your presentation and increase your chances of hooking a personal best!

Captain Josh's 17’ Maverick bay boat will allow you to easily navigate the skinny water here in the Keys. Once on board, you will be drift fishing and light-tackle fishing using live bait. The 70-HP Yamaha engine will get you where you need to go! She also has a wireless trolling motor to move quietly and efficiently in shallow water. Captain Josh has great local knowledge when it comes to the best hot spots and holes, so get ready for some terrific fishing.

On this adventure, all you need to bring is some appropriate clothing, sun protection, food, and drinks. Captain Josh will provide everything else including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Everything you catch on this adventure will be released to protect the delicate balance of the estuary. This trip should be incredible!
