About Your Trip

*new to Captain Experiences, but not being a guide. I have 44 5-star reviews on Fishing Booker*

100% Skunk Insured! If we don't catch a fish, I will offer to refund the entire cost of your trip! This is my job and I stand by what you are paying to do.

Hey everyone, my name is Josh and I'm strictly an inshore fishing guide.

Trout and redfish are not easy to catch, but are undoubtedly the most rewarding inshore species. They take some serious patience and angling skill, and that's what im here for. I love sharing my knowledge and techniques on how to hunt for these fish. We can go after trophy trout or slot trout/redfish that we can keep for you to fry up.

This is not a boring bottom fishing or trolling trip. You will be actively casting.

The day on the water…

We will start all trips between 6 and 12 AM, all depending on the weather and the best conditions for the day. My trips are a 6-hour minimum. If the fish are being difficult, I will gladly extend our time on the water to make sure we have a great day. I do not believe in rushing you back to the dock because our time is up. I enjoy being out on the water! We are here for memories and the experience so let's make the best of it!

We will be in a 24-foot bay boat. I will provide all rods and tackle needed to fish from the boat with lures or bait. I will also provide ice, water, and bait for every trip. Snacks and any drinks other than water will be on the customer. Alcohol is most definitely allowed.

I certainly do not mind taking a break from fishing and letting you enjoy the day however you'd like. Sightseeing, bird/dolphin watching, going to a restaurant on the water or sandbar, and having a drink is perfectly fine!

Due to safety precautions, I do not allow children under 13 years old.

Book on Tue/Wed and we can go take a break to watch the Blue Angels practice shows.

Parking is $5 at the kiosk by the ramp.

No GoPros or lengthy recording allowed.

I’m new to Captain Experiences, but not being a captain. I’ve used many other outlets and I’m just now utilizing this site. Growing up and living near the Galveston coast, I developed a passion for fishing with my dad. I enjoyed fishing so much that I became obsessed with figuring out the natural patterns of the fish and learning the dynamics of catching them. That has evolved into sharing that passion with others and teaching...
