SCROLL THROUGH OUR FISH FINDER TO SEE
WHAT YOU CAN FIND IN OUR WATERS
SAILFISH
The fastest fish in the ocean, these monsters will test your skill and endurance to reel in. Often fished with live bait, kite fishing and trolling.
WAHOO
Wahoo are spectacular fish to catch and to eat. They are extremely fast traveling up to 80mph. They can be caught year round but fishing is especially good during July and August.
TUNA
Black Fin Tuna are feisty fighters with a lot of power and catching one can be an intense experience. They are a schooling fish that provide ample opportunity to hook one and are plentiful year round with no current catch limits.
MAHI-MAHI
The fish so nice they named it twice. Stunning colors, long runs, and unpredictable acrobatics make this fish a crowd favorite.
SNAPPER
Snapper offer some of the greatest table fare Florida has to offer. Mutton, Lane, Vermillion, and Mangrove Snapper fishing can be nonstop action. Snapper are caught on natural or artificial reefs while fishing on the bottom.
GROUPER
Grouper cover a large spectrum of sizes. Graysby Grouper are only a few inches in size but Goliath Grouper can be upwards of 500lbs. Stuart has one of the largest Goliath Grouper aggregates on the planet. Though Goliath Grouper are strictly catch and release, they offer one heck of a fight for thrill seekers.
COBIA
Cobia migrate with larger fish such as bull sharks or string rays. Spring brings great cobia fishing to Stuart FL. A great fighting fish with dense white meat. Cobia always offer a great adventure.

This is the most awesome deep sea fishing excursion that I have been on. Consider that I have been other excursions for more than 25 years!!! The amount of fish that he put in our reach was true skill! Highly recommended Captain Josh and First Mate Brayden where ever they go!

Highly recommend Catch of the Day Charters! They did a fantastic job of keeping our son engaged during the trip. Capt. Josh explained the electronics and what he was looking for. Capt. Trent along with First Mate John did a fantastic job explaining the bait and the different fish we caught. The trip was highlighted with a beautiful Mahi! Great guys all around, extremely welcoming and knowledgeable!

Captain Trent put us on the fish we wanted to catch. He was excellent! He knew when and how to position us from hole to hole and was attentive and personable. We did 2 days, 4/20 & 21 and were not disappointed. Caught a sail, black fin tunas, Mahi-Mahi’s Kings and more. Mate Jeff was good with keeping our lines in the water and making the most of our precious fishing time.

We had so much fun with Catch of the Day Charters!!! Very very friendly crew and Cap! We have been on a couple charters before but it was nothing like Catch of the day. They were very patient with us beginner's, and very knowledgeable about everything. When I come back to Stuart I will be coming back to Catch of the Day Charters. Thank you guys!

Capt. Trent and Bill are knowledgeable, capable and are willing to do whatever it takes to hook you up with fish. We tried multiple techniques and caught tuna, sailfish, kingfish and a 500lb Bull Shark. What a great day! We'll be back.

Captain Trent and crew are awesome. 6 hour trip, I caught a 25lb American red snapper (properly returned to the depths), 1 sailfish, limits of golden tile and vermilion snapper. Comfortable enclosed seating. Can’t say enough as an old fisherman that seriously appreciates being put on the fish.

Had a great 6 hour fishing with these guys. We were fortunate to have both Captain Josh and Captain Trent on board along with deckhand Nick. All are top notch. It was a little rough but the boat did great; it was big enough, and handled the waves great. Very comfortable. Guys did a great job, caught fish almost all day, Bonita, Mahi, kingfish. Even got me on to a tuna but I pulled the hook. It was a fun day (though rough) and I would definitely book with them again.

Caught my first sailfish, only because Capt. Trent put both my wife and daughter on other fish right before the sail hit and they had first dibs, Trent and John were great with the family. First time to Stuart but we’ll be back.

I’ve done a lot of charters around the world and these guys are on the top of my list. It was a last minute getaway to the Marriott in Hutchinson Island and they are in the Marina located on the property so it was very convenient. Captain Trent and mate John were fun and extremely professional. The boat is very comfortable to fish and these guys know how to fish. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or a first timer you won’t be disappointed and I highly recommend chartering this crew. Thanks for the memories Capt. Trent and Mate John.Nick

I have been lucky enough to get the chance to get out on catch of the day charters with captain Trent and crew a few times now and it is always a great time!

What a great group of guys! Fished with captain Trent and mate John. The fishing was superb. Landing my first sail fish as well as a whole gaggle of other species like mahi, black fin tuna, kingfish, and a host of bottom species. Even if we hadn’t caught a single fish the money would be well spent in my eyes simply because of the friendliness and good time these guys show on the boat. Will book a trip every time I’m in town!!

Fished for a half day and a full day charter with Josh and his two first mates John and Trent. Amazing experience and I highly recommend. The conversation was informative, the action was non stop and we caught a trophy wahoo to "seal the deal." Can't say enough about their professionalism and knowledge. You will not be disappointed!

The Captain and the Deck hand/ Main man were awesome.
Tom Garten
17:18 23 Oct 21
Did my research and based on the review, I chose Josh. What a great choice. For the entire day, he bent over backwards to make sure our fishing experience was as good as it could be. We had four of us on this trip and I think the longest we waited for a bite was 10 minutes. We did catch a few small sharks and several fish too small but at the end of the trip, we brought home nearly 25#s of good eating fish.WE WILL BE BACK
David Carter
13:37 23 Oct 21
Had an awesome time with captain Josh and Trent. They put us on multiple species of fish. The boat is very comfortable. If you’re planning a trip to the Stuart area, you can’t go wrong booking a trip with them. We will be back!!
Tim Harrell
01:16 23 Oct 21
By far the best charter experience we have ever been on. Josh and his first mate made you feel welcome and at home with their easygoing banter and friendly demeanor. And they know how to get you on some fish - let me tell you !! They'll be working hard for you the whole time you're out there. It was just a real pleasure to be a part of something they clearly enjoy so much. Just as pumped as we were when we were landing those tuna, mahi, kingfish etc. Wholeheartedly recommend - few things in life are worth every penny. This one was for our family !

I had an awesome day with Captain Josh and First Mate Trent. My family had a quick vacation to Hutchinson Island in August 2021 and Catch of the Day had a day open in our schedule. Great guys. Easy going but serious charter fishermen. The weather was good and we caught fish. A big deal for a guy from Ohio. I highly recommend this outfit and will call again when I get to Hutchinson Island.

You can definitely tell the difference between someone that cares and someone that is just doing this as a job. We were very fortunate to have a team of Captain Josh and first mate dustin. When the day started out as the mate that was supposed to go with us not showing up, I said uh oh. Josh did everything he could and more to make sure that the kids stayed engaged and had a great time. We went out and caught some bait and then caught a shark, a beautiful mahi which we ate for dinner and went one for two on sailfish. My son called his first selfish which was definitely awesome to see. I highly recommend Captain Josh and if are you I would request him personally.
Dan White
20:38 10 Jun 21
If you are just a novice fisherman or a pro, this is the trip for you!!! I am a novice, but found captain Josh and Guy to be more than accommodating! Always encouraging and helpful! This was truly a blast, I would recommend to any fisherman! What a fantastic experience! Thanks guys, we'll be back...👍

Had a blast with Captain Josh and Trent on our dull day charter! Took my 3 Sons and went 3 for 3 on Goliath Grouper, 3 for 3 on Sailfish, 2 nice Mahi and a fat Blackfin Tuna! Do yourself a favor on your next family vacation and take a day break from the hassle of Disney and book a trip with Capt Josh! We're eating Poke for days!!!!Thanks for the memorable day on the water Captain Josh!
Jennifer Owens

Absolutely loved this charter! All I wanted was to do a charter for my birthday. 6 of us went out with Capt Josh and First Mate, Trent. They could not have been better to us. We laughed, they matched our humor, they just were the perfect combo for our group.They set us up for perfect fishing. Lots of snapper & king fish. Couple trigger. We hooked a sailfish. The excitement as we were catching fish topped the whole experience. Not only were we excited for fish, they were too. Came home with a cooler of cut/cleaned fish.We didn’t even get off the deck before my husband and best friend’s husband were wanting to book another trip with them.5 stars isn’t enough for the experience we had with Capt Josh and Trent. They definitely deserve way more than 5. Not at any point could I say, I was unhappy with our experience.
Andrew Jones
22:16 18 Apr 21
Had a blast with Captain Josh and His First Mate!! Caught a snapper and a half because of a shark. Then got the opportunity to hook two sailfish and actually catch one of them! If you have a party of three or 5 this is the perfect way to go! 8hrs of fun!

We had a great experience with Captain Josh and first mate Trent. After only a few minutes we caught two huge Mahi Mahi. Throughout the entire day we proceeded to catch 3 more! Throughout the entirety of the trip they were respectable and very accommodating to all of our needs. It was the best day out of trip to FL & we will definitely be back! 100% recommend!

My wife and I fished with Josh out of Stuart, Fl and he was an excellent guide as well as a great teacher. Not only is he friendly and patient, we caught an assortment of fish using different methods. Would highly recommend him.

John Collins
22:06 02 Feb 21
Captain Josh is awesome and puts you on the fish! Not just that, but is willing to teach you how if you are willing to learn! Hooked up with a monster Mahi, Sailfish, and Bonita. Even though it was a little rough, turned out to be a great day. Planning my next trip now.
Andrew Fagan
21:35 24 Jan 21

Was fortunate enough to fish the Treasure Coast Bonito Blast on the Catch of the Day this past Saturday and had a great time. Captain and crew were easy going and personable. Captain put us on the fish and there were a few personal bests caught that day. Thanks for a good time, hope to see you guys again soon!

Josh and Chad set up a great day of fishing for us as we visited from out of town. Catching fish was incredible. We seemed to catch ever variety including Mahi-mahi, Kingfish, and Cobia. Five of us fit comfortably on deck as Josh and Chad shared knowledge and stories all while working very hard to keep the bite very active and organized. Thank you for prepping these delicious fis for the table. Life long memories from this day well spent earn Catch of the Day FIVE stars!
Chad Merritt
03:23 10 Sep 20
Great fun!! The fish were cooperating, and even though we lost it at the boat, the mate FREE GAFFED a cobia for the win!Would go again!

Greatest Captain in the area. CPT. Josh really knows the local waters. He always fills the box full of fish!!!
Sherri Winders
19:39 08 Sep 20
My review is for captain Josh himself. Captain Josh unfortunately was not able to accommodate my group for the day I had to have. I was surprising my husband for his 50th birthday and was looking for a charter for a specific day as we had people flying in to surprise him as well from other States. Captain Josh went above and beyond to help me find another charter that could accommodate us. Even though we are not able to fish with captain Josh, his integrity rings true. Not many people would take their time to help somebody knew that they were not going to make any money off. Thank you again captain Josh for finding us a charter.

Fished quite a few times with Josh the Captain of Catch Of the Day Charters! He is such an experienced and knowledgeable Captain and Fisherman! Our fish box never comes in empty! If the bite is slow trolling, it’s off to his secret bottom fishing holes to get some Grouper and Snapper! I highly recommend Josh and Catch of the Day Charters!
Bruce Hendren
20:32 06 Jul 20
Had a great time with Catch of the Day fishing charter! We missed Captain Josh, but Captain Alex and first mate Ashley did a great job. This was our first experience with deep sea fishing and we caught some once in a lifetime fish! A Sailfish that was close to 5’ and a giant Goliath Grouper estimates at 300lbs were the highlights of the day! They were very active in trying to keep us on fish which was great! Would definitely recommend this group for your fishing adventure!!!
Tony Malone
18:26 26 Jun 20
Josh showed our group a great time. He and mate Chad both worked hard on our all day charter. We fished several different ways and caught sailfish, kingfish, grouper, snapper, bonito, shark, triggerfish, remora and more. The guys are knowledgeable and fun. We have all been on a number of charters and we would rate this one among the best.

I went on Catch Of The Day with 3 friends who had never been on a charter before and they had no idea what to expect or to do. The Mate and Captain were wonderful with my guys, they put us on fish fast, taught the "green horns" what to do in just a few minutes and before we knew it fish were flopping everywhere on fishing rods waiting to be taken off the lines. We caught 6 giant kings, tons of lane snappers, sea bass, mangrove snapper, parrots and even a few sharks. I come to Florida every year at this time of year to fish for a week or two, you can bet that Catch Of The Day will be the boat that I will be hiring. Thank you Captain Josh for a great day of fishing, see you next year, I will be booking early. Don

12:04 16 Jan 20
I went out yesterday for a 7 hour Bottom fishing trip. We left at 7am and by 7:30 Josh found the fish by 8:30 we had at least 10 boats around us. Even the other captains know who the best boat is. I caught huge snapper, African Pompano, Cobia, king fish and even had a few sharks on. My arms are aching today!! Great day!! I’m planning an overnight Sword fish trip when I came back. Fish with Josh and you won’t be disappointed. When you go fishing with him, it’s more Catching than fishing!!!

What an insanely great day of Offshore Fishing. My Boys ages 9 and 8 accompanied me on this trip - Joshua did not fail from the moment we dropped bait we were on it - Sailfish, Mahi, Mutton, Sea Bass, the list just went on - 1st mate Chad was stellar for this adventure. Grateful for Joshua and 1st Mate thorough knowledge and commitment to fishing. They were insightful, patient and knowledgeable. We all will be coming back because it's an amazing thrill and fun, what else could you ask for? If you want to battle Sailfish and others this is your Captain - recommended 100%....

Chartered for a day with my family with 4 kids ages 16, 14, 11, and 8. Could not have been more pleased. They catered to our desires to get the kids into fish, and to catch fish they could eat. We came home with a huge haul. I will definitely be back with friends for a trip to catch bigger fish because I believe it would also be a great trip. Josh was easy to contact. Alex was a great captain. Could not be more pleased. We will be back.

We had such a great time with Captain Josh and Jake. They were very professional and did everything for you (from seating up all the lines, and checking them regularly to flaying our fish). Josh was also extremely helpful in accommodating us at the last minute and fitting us into a rain free window, in an otherwise rain filled week. We will definitely book with Captain Josh the next time we are in FL.

WOW......incredible and best fishing experience of my life fishing with Josh. We got into monster bull sharks and Goliath grouper. Crazy battles. Had the time of my life battling giant bull sharks. The wife also had so much fun catching the little guys like red snapper etc. If you’re looking for a fishing guide that’s professional , fun and gets you hooked onto the fish , look no more call catch of the day and set up your adventure with Josh. Can’t wait until the next hook up Josh which will be soon. Cheers 👍

Another adventurous day on the water with Captain Josh. Yellowtail Snapper were the fish of the day. I pulled in a 3lb. Yellowtail which is quite large for this area and it was a blast with it shaking its head the whole way to the boat. We also pulled in two Nurse Sharks and a 3ft Bull Shark. If you are looking for a great time of fishing, Captain Josh is your guy. Keep up the great work!!!

Captain Josh did a great job of getting us on a good catch of yellow tail snapper on a very challenging weather day, wind and big waves. He has a very clean and comfortable boat, and was quite knowledgeable, helpful and courteous with us as some of us weren’t as experienced as others.

Captain Josh and Ron were really fun to fish with. Both absolutely knew what they were doing. Caught live bait fast and were off to the first spot catching kings, grouper and sea bass. At the first sign of the bite slowing they took us out a little further to drift. Hooked up with more kings and had more fish dip than we could handle the next day. Great experience. Highly recommended!

Went out with Josh Grau on the Catch of the Day last week, very nice operation. Wide boat, plenty of cabin space and clean. Diesel ran clean with no smoke which is a big deal for me and Josh has plenty of local knowledge for what ever you want to do.

Went out with Captain Josh. The boat was super clean, tons of room very comfortable. Very comfy bench seat inside the boat. Loved every minute of it. Highly recommend Josh and Catch of the day charters inc. He put us right on the fish and is truly an expert and very fun captain. Keep them dad jokes rolling! Thanks again for a magnificent trip.

Captain Jake and First Mate Chad did and excellent job in giving us a life long experience. The Banded Rudderfish bite was phenomenal! The Grouper we tied into gave us fights for our lives. Even tied into a seven foot Bull Shark which was brought to the boat then released. Awesome adventure!!! Can't wait to our next trip.

Great day out with Josh and Chad. Capt. And Mate work great as a TEAM to provide an enjoyable and bountiful day of fishing. Their knowledge of the local waters and techniques got us on the fish and help us land plenty. Will definitely go for a long day when visiting next year. Book a trip with Josh now, you will not regret it.....

Great boat and captain, Capt. Josh knows his stuff, as a retired charter capt. I highly recommend Catch of the day, he will put you on the fish and ensure a memorable experience.

We had experienced and first time fisherman and everyone had a blast. I have no idea how many fish we caught but it was a lot. It was Mitton, rudder, lane snapper, Alamo, grouper and others I cant remember. Captain Josh is great and we highly recommend this charter. John Proctor

Great charter, very knowledgeable, and great customer service. If going on a charter be sure to ask for *Skyler*, he moves like Ricky Bobby and will keep your line baited and in the water at all times. Great crew and great times.

This boat is AWESOME! It was just redone and is pristine! The enclosed wheelhouse has comfortable bench seating IN AIRCONDITIONING for when you need to take a break from the heat, or if you get caught in weather. It was a bit sporty out, but the boat handled well and ate the seas for lunch. Captain Josh knows what he’s doing and this boat is one fishing machine. Lots of fish, a comfortable ride and fair pricing, we are looking forward to going out again with Captain Josh and Catch of the Day Charters!!!
