My name is Captain Josh. I grew up fishing in these lakes since I was barely old enough to walk! I’ve spent most of my life fishing or hunting somewhere out here but bow fishing has been an addiction since the first attempt. I say attempt because man I missed a lot starting out! I look forward to teaching as well as learning from all the customers I take. Slinging arrows and cracking jokes.

I started alligator hunting a little later in life and man I was hooked, no pun intended. Being able to fight something older and stronger than myself with nothing but a hand-line was a fight I’ll never forget and one I hope to experience with you.

Great communication after booking and answered all of my questions in the weeks leading up to the trip. Punctual, prepared, and brought the perfect boat for the trip. Very knowledgeable and patient when teaching first-timers. Wind didn’t cooperate, but it was a great experience and I can’t wait to do it again.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
