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!

J. Wallace

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!

D. Malmo

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!

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!

R. Fannin

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!

One of if not the best fishing trip I’ve been on. Captain Josh was legit he put us on and kept us on the fish all day and his excitement for putting you on good fish is next level. From catching sharks to watching Tarpon explode out of the water after bait fish it was an awesome experience. At the end of the day we had caught 9 different types of fish for a very good variety. Georgia Sport Fishing Charters will definitely get my business the next time I’m in the area.

What a wonderful day fishing! What an Epic day fishing with Georgia Sport Fishing Charters!!! Captain Richie Lott and Captain Josh Cook provided the experience, wisdom, and safety net needed to feel totally comfortable on the water. They literally took care of everything.

Incredible first time experience. Captain Josh even checked tides and the moon to see when would be the optimum time to head out. Perfect day catching 6 bull reds, a size of fish we don’t see up north in WI. You can see the love and excitement he has for fishing and makes sure we have every opportunity to catch fish. Total blast, and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Will definitely be returning!

My family and I went out with GSFC and Capt. Josh Cook over Spring Break and had an amazing experience. Capt. Josh was extremely responsive as we communicated planning the trip. Once we were on the water, Josh did an outstanding job of talking us through all aspects of the trip and was extremely knowledgeable. On top of that, the Captain was wonderful with my two young boys and made them very comfortable. In all, we caught 5 Bull Reds, 4 Black Nose Shark, a few Whiting and a Stingray. Needless to say, my family will be fishing with RIchie and Josh again in the near future.

Overall, Josh is a personable, knowledgeable, accommodating and genuinely cool guy to hang out with. He knows the area and is not opposed to changing locations or tactics to get fish in the boat. After 30+ years of vacationing in the Golden Isles this was by far one of the best fishing outings I have ever been on. I would absolutely go out with Josh again, and highly recommend him to anyone else looking for a great experience.

WOW what a day. My 15 year old son and I fished with Capt. Josh Cook for a day in April. We slammed some Big Bull Reds that day! I cannot say enough about how good the day went. I have fished with many charter captains in my day and I would say that Josh Cook ranks right at the top. He was prepared, knowledgeable and patient with both of us. We caught and released every fish including some big sharks and a few stingrays. We will be back…..Thank You Georgia Sport Fishing Charters and Capt. Josh Cook for a great fishing trip!

I called several fishing charters in the area and chose Capt. Josh Cook with Georgia Sport Fishing Charters based on his personality.

My wife and I spent 6 hours on a charter with Captain Josh fishing for Bull Redfish. We had limited options while we were staying on St Simon to go out and the day we went was very challenging with 15 – 25 mph winds and decent waves. Despite the conditions Josh put us on our target and we ended up catching 10 Redfish, the largest in the 40 pound class! Josh is a great captain with the perfect personality for his work – and knows how to find the fish you want to catch. If you’re going fishing in the area, Georgia Sport Fishing should be at the top of your list.

I have fished with A LOT of charter captains, from the Carolinas to the Keys and Georgia Sport Fishing Charters is the best I’ve been with! I have had the pleasure of fishing with Richie and Josh for many years and they have become great friends. They always work extremely hard to put us on fish, but more importantly to me, is that they work even harder to provide a safe, fun filled trip that is also enjoyable for my wife and kids. Its obvious that their knowledge of the area and targeted species is second to none! They fish out of nice, comfortable boats, with top of the line, up to date equipment. They are always friendly, pleasant and a pleasure to be around. If you are looking to charter a trip in coastal Georgia , look no further and book with confidence, because it is money well spent! I highly recommend!!

Today was by far, one of the best days of my life. First time ever on a deep sea fishing charter and I’m hooked. Capt. Richie Lott and Josh Cook of Georgia Sport Fishing Charters were amazing to fish with. They are both very knowledgeable about fishing and more than willing to share their knowledge, and made me and my husband feel safe and comfortable. I was scared when I first got on the boat and told my husband, “We are never getting a boat” but soon after I caught a Black Tip Shark, adrenaline and excitement took over and the fear subsided. Guess what…as soon as possible, we are getting a boat. Thank you so much Capt. Richie and Josh for an unforgettable, amazing and exciting adventure of a lifetime. See you again next summer!!!!!!

Smoothest run Fishing Charter operation I have ever seen. These guys are far above average fishing guides and they know what they are doing. We have a home in PA and in Naples FL so we have been on charters many times. I can tell you these guys are different from any our family has ever fished with. I am so glad we booked this trip and we all felt like we had known Captain Richie forever. He is the real deal! He and his first mate Josh work together like clockwork. This is by far the best fishing charter we have ever been on. They made it fun and we caught large sea bass up to around 4 pounds on jigs. What a day Captain! We will see you again soon. We highly recommend these guys. You will not find a better guide or charter operation anywhere that I am aware of.

Wow what a fishing trip. I have been out with a few captains on the Georgia coast and have never had half as good experience as we did with Richie Lott .. He spent most of our trip spending 1 on 1 time with my kids. I will never fish with anyone else ever again. He understands that kids is our most valuable resource. We put more fish in the boat in a hour than I have seen on many all day trips. I can’t wait to book him again. My kids are still talking about the bull red that Richie put them on.

Whatever you are looking for whether it’s inshore: redfish, trout, whiting, a fun black tip shark or offshore: amberjack, grouper, sea bass, snapper whatever you’re after he will put you on it. Great times and exciting fishing… Make for the best day! Fish On!!!!!!!!!

I have been Fishing with Captain Richie Lott for many years now. Growing up in Georgia and living in Florida for the past 20 years, I have had a lot of experience fishing with Captains of Charter Fishing Boats. I can say without a doubt that Richie is the “Best Captain,” that I have ever been around. His knowledge is not limited to 1 or 2 species of Fish to be targeted either. Offshore or Inshore, he can cover all the bases & will put you on the Fish…..Big Fish! I can’t wait to schedule another trip with him, this time with my “Little Boys.” to catch a Memory that will last a Lifetime! He is the “Best in the Business Bar None!”

The best time I’ve been fishing was with Capt Richi and First Mate Josh. They were very professional and also knew exactly where to go to catch those nice bulls. It was the perfect day!!!!
