About Your Trip

The inshore waters around Clearwater offer a diverse and productive fishery, and Josh puts you on them for a focused four-hour outing aboard a 2017 26-foot Andros center console. Redfish, snook, flounder, and hogfish are the targets, a well-rounded mix of species that keeps things interesting throughout the trip and gives every angler on board a legitimate shot at something worth talking about.

Four hours on the water is enough time to cover a meaningful stretch of Clearwater's inshore habitat, working the grass flats, structure, and shoreline edges where these species hold depending on the tide and time of year. Josh moves efficiently between productive areas, making the most of the time available and giving your group the best possible shot at a varied catch.

This trip works just as well for a competitive group as it does for a relaxed day on the water. Whether you're keeping a running tally of who catches the most fish, competing for the biggest of the day, or simply enjoying a few hours out on the Gulf with friends or clients, the four-hour format and the species variety lend themselves naturally to that kind of fun. Bachelor parties, client entertainment, and friend groups all find this outing a comfortable and enjoyable fit.

The 26-foot Andros is a capable and well-built inshore platform, powered by a 250-horsepower Suzuki that gets you to the fishing grounds efficiently. Please note there is no onboard restroom, so plan accordingly for the four hours on the water.

Book a four-hour inshore trip with Josh out of Clearwater and see who comes out on top.
