Took a 2hr charter because of unsure people’s stomach. Captain was a great guy and checked to make sure everyone was feeling great. We all learned about the types of fish we were going to catch and the technique on how to catch them. Definitely family friendly and also ready for a guys outing. Afterwards he took the time to prepare the fish for a local restaurant to prepare if we chose. Only complaint not enough time. 👍🏻

Excellent Trip with Josh
We had 4 people attend our trip with Captain Josh. All of us caught multiple fish and had a great time on the water. Josh was super friendly, knowledgeable, & patient with us. He was very engaged and ensured all of us were having an enjoyable time. Josh took us to multiple locations to fish and was able to comfortably get us situated with all of the gear

Single Angler Fishing Lesson
Go with Reel Knowledge and Captain Josh!
I recently moved to Sarasota from up North where I had a lot of fishing experience on the Chesapeake Bay but no experience in FL. I sought out a guide who was willing to teach local fishing and not just take me out for a day. Josh was the man! He got what I was trying to accomplish and totally delivered. He was patient with all my questions and totally unselfish in sharing knowledge on equipment, techniques and fishing spots. In about 3 hours I caught 7 nice fish in 4 different species which Josh helped me identify (Spotted Sea Trout, Snook, Flounder and Sheep Head). I am now confident I can go out and do it myself. But also if you just want to go out for a great day of fishing and to just let it happen Josh is the man! I highly recommend Reel Knowledge.

Captain Josh did a great job getting my son and I on fish. Tide was against us but we ended up getting on multiple species of fish. Josh was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. See for yourself how well this guided trip went - **hidden content**

Half Day Trip (AM)
Targeted species caught!
Capt. Josh was fantastic! He took care of all of our wants as far as our half day fishing trip was concerned. The tide was not ideal, but we still caught several speckled trout, even a couple double hook-ups! We moved to a different location and were able to boat a few under slot reds. We would definitely fish with Capt. Josh again!! Thanks for a very nice memorable fishing day!!!
