Captain Josh showed tremendous patience, and good humor and really tried to provide a great fishing experience. He went above and beyond so that everyone caught fish and experienced the thrill of the chase. He is an experienced and knowledgeable Captain. Our grandkids had an opportunity to make an unforgettable and great memory.

From the moment I began planning my trip, Captain Josh maintained excellent communication with me about what to expect and how we could customize it based on our desires for fishing. The customer was first and there was no question about that even once. We got on the water before our scheduled start time with everything being ready. We did not waste even one minute waiting for him to prepare because he did his prep professionally. When we got on the water the boat was smooth and he did a great job maintaining the level of the boat out over 35 miles. We got a very professional “how to” catch the fish in the area. We spent about 20 minutes or so as a practice dropping the lines and learning how to maintain tension on the fish to bring them up with ease. The areas that he scouted and brought us to we either brought up a good sized keeper, had a good fight on the line, had a catch and release, or lost the bait within minutes when the fish out smarted me. With every time a fish got hooked, Captain Josh was motivational and drew his attention to us and coached us on how to maintain tension and what to do so we didn’t lose the hook or snap the line. I was able to hook an almost 5 foot barracuda and when my fight was over (I couldn’t reel anymore because I was gassed) I asked Captain Josh to help and he finished the fight getting him to the boat where we were able to successfully get him for a picture! Captain Josh provided education on why certain species were protected and what seasons we could keep certain fish. Safety was obviously his number one priority and very professionally obtained our attention if we were doing something unsafe. There is so much more to say but to summarize it I will say these words: Professional, Experienced, Rewarding, Fun, Challenging, Exciting, Supportive, Innovative, Team player, Comfortable, Integrity. I have a very large network from around the United States and Captain Josh has my referral which will be given to all of them!!!!

Josh works hard, and he makes sure that his clients can do everything on their own. He has a Great attitude! We were a group of 4 adults but I can guarantee a family and kids would have a blast. We caught a ton of fish, kept enough for a meal and let a bunch go back to fight another day. The boat and equipment are top-notch.

We had a wonderful fishing trip with capt. Josh. He put us on the fish as soon as we started fishing and the action was constant all day! Caught a mixed bag of snapper, grouper, and a variety of other reef fish. We had a blast. Capt Josh is great with kids and is a fun guy to be on the boat with. We will definitely be going back on another trip soon.

Captain Josh was a lot of fun, knew where to go to find fish, and was very personable! Once we were out 30 miles in the Gulf, we caught all kinds of fish! The boat was awesome, very comfortable, and had everything we needed to catch some fish. We will definitely do it again the next time we're in Florida. I highly recommend Captain Josh and Untide Charters out of Nokomis!

We had the BEST experience with Captain Josh! He was very patient with our kids and taught them how to bait their own rods! He knew the best spots to catch an incredible variety of fish. He clearly knew what he was doing and was just a good guy overall! We will definitely call him next time we are in town. Thank you from all of us!!! The kids haven’t stopped talking about the trip. We are coming back and can’t wait to keep the Grouper!!

We went out recently with Josh and Jesse and had an amazing time. We went out with grandparents, kids and friends and everyone had a fantastic time. Josh knew the perfect spot to go to keep the kids entertained with constant fish. We will definitely be reaching out to Josh the next time we come back!

The trip was great. Captain Josh's boat is very comfortable, and fast and has awesome tech onboard that helped us get fishing quickly. We were a group of six that included experienced anglers as well as beginners, and all of us caught fish throughout the afternoon. Captain Josh had all the gear ready to roll and knew several great spots to fish offshore. He was super friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and great with the kids (and teens). We stayed out a few minutes in the end to see the sunset. It was a great trip and I highly recommend Captain Josh for a fishing trip, sightseeing or day cruise. Thanks, Captain Josh!
