About Your Trip

Inshore bay fishing for Redfish is Captain Josh's all-time favorite way to fish, and that's really saying something, considering how much fishing he's done. There's truly no better way to enjoy the water and get some great fights that hooking Bull Reds in shallow water. In addition to Redfish, there's also a good chance you'll hook Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Ladyfish, and more on this trip.

On this trip, you'll be casting lures and baits, especially shrimp under popping corks, to draw in big bites. When a Red hits that hook, get ready for a tussle! These fish make great runs, and will do their best to tire you out before you bring them over the rail.

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Joshua's 25' Sea Hunt bay boat, which is perfectly suited to inshore fishing! She features a 300-HP Yamaha engine to get you out on the best fishing grounds fast, and also has a bathroom to keep you fishing. In addition, she sports multiple live wells for bait, plus a full suite of Simrad electronics and a trolling motor to sneak up on the fish!

Everything you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle, is included! All you need to bring is proper clothing and a smile—no sunscreen needed on a night trip!

About Your Guide

Captain Joshua

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.
Throughout all his travels, he has found that his favorite type of fishing is inshore bay fishing for redfish, specifically spot casting for them in the shallow waters. As a father & husband, Josh also understands the importance of family; he loves helping other dads (& moms) teach their children how to fish. On his days off he can be found fishing with his wife & 5 year old daughter, who is also quickly becoming an avid fisherwoman.

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!
