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 that has a passion for catching speckled trout & redfish.

Trout and redfish are not easy to catch, but are undoubtedly the most rewarding inshore species. They take some serious patience and angling skill, but 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. 

The day on the water...

Right now, I am running spring hours for the trips. We will start all trips at 8 or 9am to let the water and ourselves warm up.

Even though my trips are labeled as 6-hours, my trips have no set time limit, as I do not believe in hurrying back to the dock to dump you off, especially if the fish aren’t cooperative. We are here for memories and the experience so lets make the best of it! 

We will be in a newer 24-foot bay boat with plenty of seating and room for a comfortable and safe time. 

I can provide all rods and tackle needed to fish from the boat with lures or bait. I will also provide ice, water, and bait(if wanted) for every trip. Snacks and any drinks other than water will be on the customer. Alcohol is certainly allowed.

Catching and releasing is recommended, but keeping fish is not an issue. I just ask you to please keep what you know you will eat, and release the rest. 

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, hopping out of the boat, and having a drink is certainly not out of the ordinary. I'm all for a good time. 

Parking is $5 at the kiosk by the ramp.

Message me for any info. I look forward to being your host! Follow me on Insta at Capt.Skunk

Under bluebird skies with high pressure and unfavorable winds—a nightmare scenario for any fishing guide or experienced angler—Josh still delivered an incredible day on the water. His patience, kindness, and sense of fun made the trip unforgettable. My oldest son caught five different species: trout, redfish, flounder, whiting, and sheepshead. Everyone on board reeled in fish, and we ended up with plenty of keepers, far exceeding my expectations for such challenging conditions. Without a doubt, we’ll be booking with Josh again!

It was just Josh and me out on the water, enjoying perfect weather. While the conditions made for a challenging fishing environment, Josh’s hard work and expertise made all the difference. He provided clear, helpful instructions to improve my technique, which paid off as I started landing fish. To top it off, on the very last cast of the day, I caught a massive redfish! It was an incredible experience with a fantastic guide and all-around great person. I highly recommend Josh for anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water.

Captain Josh’s expertise in the local waters and prime fishing spots around Galveston is unmatched. I had the privilege of being his final charter in Texas, and it was an unforgettable experience. Wishing him the best of luck in Florida—those anglers are in for a treat. Fish on, Captain Josh!

From start to finish, our experience with Captain Josh was outstanding. He communicated clearly beforehand, was fully prepared when we arrived, and kept his boat spotless and organized. His deep knowledge of the waters and commitment to finding the best fishing spots made for an excellent day on the water. Josh’s patience and teaching skills stood out—he took the time to share techniques and tips, leaving me feeling like I learned a lot. Unlike other charters where you simply reel in fish that the guide hooks, Josh ensures you’re actively fishing, from casting to reeling. On top of his expertise, Captain Josh is simply a great person to spend a day with, always working hard to ensure success and enjoyment. We caught plenty of fish, and we’re already looking forward to booking another trip with him in the future. Highly recommend!

We had a bit of a slow start, but after checking out a few spots, we hit the jackpot. My family and I had an amazing time catching redfish and black drum. My son even hooked a stingray—definitely a surprise! Everyone caught something, and we ended the day with 8 fish that’ll provide many delicious dinners. Captain Josh was fantastic, with a wealth of knowledge that made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be booking with him again. A solid 5.0 rating from the Steele family. Thanks for such a memorable day!
