Yesterday was truly amazing! 2 for 2 catching tarpon with Captain Josh! He knows what he is doing for sure! Took us right to a prime location with tarpon rolling all over the place! A first for me and his guidance made it so fun and thrilling! We had a ball!!! Have no doubt you would too!!!

Went out on a six hour Tarpon trip with Josh today, all I can say is hurry up and book your trip with him to get on some world class Tarpon. Josh will put you on them from the word go, and will do everything in his power to try and get you hooked up to a fish. I highly recommend any fishing trip with Josh. He is a great guide but an even better person! Book the trip, you won’t regret it.

What a great day! Capt. Josh was excellent! Our 12 year old son loves fishing and caught his first tarpon. He had us on the tarpon right away. Had an awesome day, landed a couple tarpon and even a couple sharks. Capt Josh was patient, knowledgeable, and fun. He knew exactly where to take us and explained so much about what he does. Great memories made that will last a lifetime. We will definitely be booking again if you're considering it, do it, you won't be sorry!

I can’t say enough good things about our day with Georgia Sport Fishing! Captain Josh was a total gem, so friendly and easy to talk to, and he really knew his stuff when it came to fishing. He made us feel right at home on the boat, sharing tips and stories that kept us entertained while we waited for the big catch. It took some patience, but when we finally hooked that huge tarpon, it was worth every second!
The fight to reel in that monster tarpon was unreal, and we had a blast taking turns bringing it in. Josh was right there with us, coaching and cheering us on, which made the whole experience even more fun. It was a day full of laughs, excitement, and memories we’ll be talking about for years. If you’re looking for a great time on the water, book with Captain Josh and Georgia Sport Fishing. You won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been going out with Josh at Georgia Sport Fishing Charters every year for the past six years, and he never disappoints. He works incredibly hard and always knows exactly where to go and how to fish for tarpon. His experience and dedication make all the difference—he consistently puts us on fish and makes every trip memorable. If you’re looking for a top-tier tarpon fishing experience in Georgia, Josh is the one to book with. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

We spent 2 days on the water with Captain Josh and had the best time. The first day we wanted to take several kids (10, 9, and 8 yo) and my wife to experience an action filled fishing trip. Capt Josh did not disappoint as we caught 20 sharks on a 6 hour trip. Capt Josh was incredible with the kids and really entertained and taught them about the fish and fishery. The second day we wanted to just take my 10 yo son who is obsessed with fishing for a more tactical 8 hr trip. We started out trout fishing which was extremely action packed, and he was even able to take a few home for dinner. We then went after tarpon. Capt Josh worked hard the entire time and was dead set on my son catching a tarpon. We setup for one of the most incredible tarpon experiences I have ever had. My son will remember that day for the rest of his life. I highly recommend Capt Josh for all levels of experience. He works as hard as any captain I have ever been with, communicates very well, and has the knowledge to put you on whatever fish you are looking for.

I’ve been fishing these waters for last 45 years. I’ve fished with the very best, and I’ve fished with the very average. There is a massive difference. My ‘Go To’ captain/guide retired a couple of years ago, and I’ve been looking for his ‘replacement’ ever since. I’ve been with a few guys that people have recommended. They were fine. Then there is Josh.
Captain Josh is the MAN. Period. Full stop. 4 tarpon jumped. 4 tarpon landed. All before Noon. For those that know anything about tarpon fishing, especially tarpon fishing in this area, that’s all you really need to know. If you want a little more color, I’ll fill it in a bit:
Josh called the day before to confirm. He let us know the plan was to pick us up at the dock. Go to catch bait. Then go to the fishing spot. Anticipating high winds and high seas, however, Josh went out early to catch bait before picking us up. He picked us up at 7:30. We had lines in the water by 8:15 and our first tarpon to the boat by 9:30. Josh knows what he’s doing; he works hard; and he’s a delight to be around and fish with. What more can you ask for? Just please don’t book him while
I’m in the area!

Captain Josh rescued us today when our boat broke down! He was very generous with his time and expertise following a full day of successful charter tarpon fishing. He must have been exhausted but he never complained. We look forward to fishing with him soon! Thanks for saving us!

Poor response to text messages. I have texted twice with no responses. With that type of customer service or response, you may be better served elsewhere!

A Legendary Day with Captain Josh
We had the absolute pleasure of spending the day on the water with Captain Josh, and it was nothing short of unforgettable. It was me, my dad, and my two brothers—just the four of us—and from the moment we met Josh at the dock, we knew we were in for something special.
Captain Josh is the kind of person who instantly feels like family. His deep knowledge of the Georgia coast, years of experience, and calm confidence made the entire trip run smoothly. But what really stood out was the respect and admiration everyone had for him—literally everyone. From the folks we passed at the marina to the fishermen we ran into 35 miles offshore at one of the reefs, everyone seemed to know and love Captain Josh. It was like fishing with a local legend.
He guided us through a day filled with great catches, laughter, and the kind of quality time that doesn’t come around often. We caught massive snapper, cobia, cuda, and others. And let me just say—he’s got one of the best Christian music playlists I’ve ever heard. It set the tone for a peaceful, joyful day that felt just as good for the soul as it did for the thrill of the catch.
This wasn’t just a fishing trip—it was a memory we’ll carry forever. Thank you, Captain Josh, for the stories, the skill, the heart, and the incredible atmosphere. We’ll be back, no question.

Excellent fishing trip! Captain Josh put my 12 yr old son on his first ever tarpon and they landed it! Josh was a great captain. He’s very knowledgeable, teaching about the fish and techniques he uses as we fished. We caught 3 tarpon and a handful of shark on our trip. So much fun! Great day on the water and would definitely book again!

We had an incredible trip this weekend with Josh Cook of Georgia Sport Fishing Charters. From the start, communication was excellent—we knew exactly what to expect, what was included, and what we needed to bring. Josh was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the sport and helping his clients succeed.
Everyone in our group had a great time and walked away with new skills and great memories. I’ve been on other charters in the area before, but this was my first with Georgia Sport Fishing Charters—and it won’t be my last. This is the team we’ll be booking with from now on.
Josh put us on tarpon early in the morning, and we stayed with them for hours. We landed three tarpon in just a few hours—an incredible experience, especially considering how elusive these fish can be. It’s clear Josh and his team have put in the time to really master their craft.
Overall, a 5-star experience in every way. Highly recommended!
