Hoping to come back for some fishing in the Fall! We’ll book again! Thanks for a great day Josh!The Sapp Family, Augusta GA

Booked our first shark/tarpon trip with capt Josh Cook with Georgia sport fishing charters. It was a awesome day on the water. We hooked 3 tarpon one of which we fought for a hour. Capt Josh went above and beyond. Highly recommend this guy if you want to get on some big fish!! Thanks again Josh for a great day of making memories!!

Wow! We will never forget Josh’s kindness, sincerity, love of nature and company for what was an unforgettable two days of fishing in Georgia. He lives and breathes not just fishing, but making your trip a memory that will last forever.

My experience with Georgia Sport Fishing Charters and Captain Josh Cook exceeded my expectations, and when I return I can not imagine going fishing with anyone else. Amazing!

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.

Had a great time yesterday during our fishing trip. Captain Josh was great!! I would highly recommend him for your charter fishing trips.

It was a first for 3 out of 4 of our group to go out deep sea fishing and we had a fantastic time! Josh was very professional and we will definitely be back soon! Thanks Georgia Sport Fishing Charters for the irreplaceable memories made today! 😍

We had a great day fishing with Captain Josh and Georgia Sport Fishing Charters! We caught a bunch of bull redfish and had a great time. Josh took excellent care of us and if you’re looking for a great day on the water, I definitely recommend giving these guys a call!

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. I was so excited to have the opportunity to participate in the woman’s day charter that Richie Lott generously offered. The Bull Reds were biting for sure. It was thrilling to see the lines bump, bump and then take off. Magical memories. I definitely recommend spending a day with Georgia Sport Fishing Charter. Amazing. 💦🎣🐟😎🧜‍♀️

Awesome experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to do a charter.

We went yesterday looking for big bull reds, and the trip exceeded expectations. I have never caught as big or as many bull reds. Josh put us on the fish and kept us on them; there is no doubt I’m coming back next October!

Best fishing expedition every!! Capt Josh was best guide!! There was only 2 of us and we caught 19 redfish!! Caught some sharks and rays too. Beautiful day! Capt Josh worked hard to keep us catching fish! Highly recommend him and this company!!

If the pictures don’t convince you then the experience will. If you are looking for a professionally guided fishing trip then stop your search. You absolutely won’t be disappointed.

Thanks to Captain Josh in just two trips me and my dad were able to bring in more than 35 bull reds and dozens of sharks. I don’t think we will be using any one else besides him for a long time. Captain Josh truly knows the area like the back of his hand. Easy 5 stars

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!

It was one of my best fishing trip I have been on. Captain Josh knew where the fish was and when we needed to be on the water.

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.

Amazing is the best word I can use to sum up our trip with Captain Josh with Georgia Sports Fishing charters.

From the 1st text I sent, to getting off the boat the customer service was above and beyond. I work in retail so having this kind of customer service was great!

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!

Hands down best fishing trip I’ve been on. Capt Joshua Cook was absolutely awesome and put us on some great fish. My friends and I came down for my bachelor party and he made us all feel at home and showed us a great time. We’ll all definitely be back for multiple trips in the future!

My 10-year old son and I went out with Captain Josh in August 2017 and had a blast the entire time. Josh is extremely knowledgeable and knows where to find the fish. He has a great attitude and was fun to be on the water with. I highly recommend GA Sports Fishing Charters and Captain Josh! I’m planning our 2018 trip now and can’t wait to make more memories.

Capt Josh was awesome. Respectful punctual and most important made my family have their best fishing experience ever. He had everything prepared for worst case best case and in between. In minutes my son was reeling his first of many fish in. Can’t wait to go back and do it again. Highly recommend this man

We had a great trip with Captain Josh this past Memorial week. Capt. Josh is very knowledgeable and we landed several bull reds, not to mention numerous sharks. If you want to catch some big fish, Capt. Josh is a best bet!

I called several fishing charters in the area and chose Capt. Josh Cook with Georgia Sport Fishing Charters based on his personality. We even drove 20 minutes past a competitor to get there, and we couldn’t have been happier with the choice! The boat was beautiful and clean, and Josh made my first saltwater fishing trip a huge success.

Enjoyed our trip shark fishing. Josh was very busy keeping lines baited and in the water. Charter left right on schedule. Josh was able to take us to the spots where we experienced action. We will explore other fishing charters through this group.

Wow! Let me just start by saying that this has been mine, and my daughters (12;14) favorite adventure together! Georgia Sport Fishing Charters and Captain Josh Cook were absolutely amazing. We had two exceptional days fishing and that couldn’t have been possible without Captain Josh Cook. We set out on and adventure and ended up with an experience that will last a lifetime.

Have you always wanted to run with the Bulls? Well if that has been your wish, give Capt Josh Cook of Georgia Sport Fishing a call. He can easily assist you in setting up your charter to tangle with these giant Bull Reds.

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.

Josh was wonderful and had us on fish within a few minutes. He was very knowledgeable of the area and fishing. He worked to keep the lines in the water, fish in the boat and everyone having a great time. We will definitely book again. Georgia Sport Fishing Charters was an absolute breeze to work with and book. Thanks Guys.

Incredible day with Josh Cook and Georgia Sport Fishing Charters! 26 bull reds in one trip! It’s always a pleasure to go out with Josh. He’s professional, knows the fishery and works hard to ensure a great charter.

Very little ride time, capt. josh put us on fish fast and kept us on the fish! He worked his butt off for us and made sure we were well taken care of, with a 24 fish day and the avg. length of 40 inches, we could have not asked for better trip, Georgia sport fishing charters is the way to go if you want to hang into a big bull red and make great memories!

Top notch guide here. Captain Josh had us on the fish within minutes of turning the motor off. Not only did we catch a lot of fish but had a great time with an excellent guide. Can’t wait for our next trip.

Georgia Sport Fishing Charters provided me an my family an EPIC day of fishing. We (my wife, kids ages 4 and 6, and myself) caught several big Reds, and loads of different sharks. Georgia Sport Fishing Charters, impressed me immediately over the phone after calling other charters. Capt Josh who works for Georgia Sport Fishing Charters was great and full of positive energy, and patience with my kids. I couldnt have been more impressed. Thanks Brian Close

Thank you Georgia Sport Fishing Charters and Captain Josh Cook!!! What an awesome trip for my boys and me! I highly recommend Captain Josh if you want to catch giant bull reds. He was great with my boys and we are ready to go again! Highly recommended!!!

Had a super great time! My family and I had a blast! Capt Josh is the man! Thanks for a great experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better day today

What an amazing team that can put you on the fish. Caught my first monster tarpon with them and will never forget the experience. Can’t wait to do it again. Richie and Josh are both true hard working professionals that will make memories for you.

We had a truly unforgettable time with Captain Josh of Georgia Sport Fishing Charters. Josh works extremely hard on the boat, but is very laid back and accommodating of less experienced anglers. Most importantly, he knows how to catch fish! We had two tarpon on the line in less than an hour. We are already planning our next trip.

We had the best day � fishing ever! Josh is an amazing guide. We caught 10 bull red fish and a variety of other things. My arms are tired from catching so many fish. Great time!

Capt Richie and Capt Josh were awesome hosts and took great care of the wife and kids. We had a blast and all five of us were on tons of fish a good portion of the trip we each caught at least four sharks a person and some very big stingrays as well. They were fun and friendly and knew where to go and what to do. The Norsworthy Family

Best time you’ll have on a fishing charter in coastal Georgia, hands down. Capt. Richie Lott is one of, if not THE best fishing guide in the St. Simons island area and Jekyll Island Area. Highly recommended!

My group went out for a half day charter that stretched into the early afternoon because we were having a good time. Capt. Josh knows his stuff and works hard to make sure all goes well. We caught some Bull Reds and some sharks. Would recommend them to all.

Great day of fishing with capt. Josh he kept us on the fish all day. We had a blast can’t wait to go again.

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!!

Me and my dad Tarpon fished with Capt Richie and Josh many times over the years. We have caught a lot of fish and had a lot of fun with them. Be back again this summer. Highly recommend!

Excellent fishing experience! Captain Richie definitely knows how to put you on fish. He is very knowledgeable. By far, this is the best fishing trip I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go again!

Me and my son went had a blast fishing with these guys they are the best and you will have a lot of fun catching fish can’t wait to go back hopefully soon.

I have fished with Capt. Richie Lott and Capt Joshua Cook on several occasions and had a blast catching huge Redfish. Last year Capt. Cook put me on my 1st Tarpon, 90# plus! Can’t say enough about GSF and would highly recommend them.

I went fishing with Capt. Josh Cook early spring of 2016 and I had an awesome time catching a variety of fish including the largest redfish I’ve ever caught! The boat and equipment were very well maintained and top notch! I highly recommend fishing with Georgia Sport Fishing Charters.

We had a great time!!! My niece caught the biggest fish of her life. Definitely worth the price. The knowledge of these guys if phenomenal!!! Definitely will be back again.. Thanks captain Joshua

Me and my husband went fishing with Captain Josh Cook in 2016. It was such beautiful day to go out on the boat. At the start of the trip we caught tons of bait. We had and amazing time catching so many types of fish including Redfish and Sharks. Josh put me on my first Shark ever. I loved every minute, from the travel through some of the most beautiful spots on the coast to the knowledge of the captain. I will be recommending Georgia Sport Fishing Charters to everyone!

Been fishing for Redfish along time . I have never been on so many Bull Reds in my life ! Georgia Sport fishing put us on 51 Bull Reds! We had an amazing trip ! First class all the way ! Capt Ritchie and Capt Josh are true professionals who love their jobs and it shows! Can’t wait to get back on the boat with those guys again!!! Thanks for a great time! Charlie and the gang !!!

Wind and rain didn’t stop Captain Cook from a record day for my son and I. 30 Bull reds caught, doubles multiple times. Awesome!

Great day catching Bull Reds with captain Josh Cook. 5 Bull Reds between 40 – 55 lbs. on just a 4 hour trip. Josh is a knowledgeable captain and loads of fun!!

My son Sebastian and I went fishing with Capt. Joshua Cook this AM. Capt. Josh is an incredible guide and great overall guy, and put us on some monster Bull Redfish. He helped me create the perfect father-son fishing outing and an experience that my son and I will always treasure. We’ll be fishing with GA Sport Fishing Charters again!

Captain Richie and his first mate Josh are an amazing team and we are looking forward to fishing with them in our tournaments and other fun trips!! This is a duo that truly knows their fishing!

Captain Richie and his first mate Josh are an amazing team and we are looking forward to fishing with them in our I think it’s awesome. My brother took in a lot and knows from 25 years of experience as a master Capt on how to catch fish. This is this the one you’d want to trust on having a good fun day on the water and almost guaranteed to catch fish. You will not at all go wrong in any way, shape or form from having a blast. Well worth the money and the relationship you will build in just a short mount of time that you would want to go again with Capt Richie Lott.

This could not have been a more awesome weekend thanks to Captain Richie and Josh. Not only was the weather picture perfect, we caught 13 trophy size Bull Reds between 30 and 50 pounds each! Thank you gentlemen for showing us a wonderful time!!

Had a blast this morning catching some beautiful bull redfish with Capt Richie & 1st Mate Josh Cook. All I can say is “Great guys ensuring their clients have a SUPER time!”. I highly recommend Georgia Sportfishing Charters to anyone looking to further their outdoor adventure in coastal Georgia waters. They work hard to make sure their customers have the best possible fishing experience. If you’re looking to book a trip with an experienced, friendly & professional guide, don’t overlook these great guys!

Best fishing trip you’ll go on. Capt Richie is very personable and very fun to fish with. He knows his business! We caught one bull redfish after another for a good portion of our trip. Fun day! I highly recommend booking a trip with Capt Richie and his deckhand josh. If you’re looking to have a good time while fishing and catching big fish, there’s no other I would book. Thank you both for the everlasting memories of my biggest fish ever!

Capt Richie and Josh made for a great trip. Kept rods bent all day and were a pleasure to be around as well. Professional approach in all aspects. Both my sons landed their first Tarpon along with as many sharks as we wanted to catch.

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!!!!!!

Went fishing with Capt. Richie and Josh this week! Officially hooked on salt water sport fishing! 1st class operation from start to finish! Will definitely be a repeat adventure!

Headed out with Capt. Richie and Josh on May 10. These guys FAR exceeded my expectations. Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in making sure we on the boat had the greatest chance at success. The Capt. was relentless in his search for fish and knew when to target different species based on the tide. I can’t wait to get back down there and hook up with them again.

I highly recommend them if your in the South Ga area. You will not be disappointed.

If you want to have fun on a Fishing charter and catch fish then Capt Richie is the best in the area. The boat is nice and he knows whats going on with the fish. I highly recommend him and he has been fishing that area for like 30 years. Just ask anyone who has fished with him or read the other reviews and you will find the exact same things. Quality.

Wow, what a great 6hr. Bull Red fishing trip we had with Capt. Richie and first mate Josh. I mean these two professional guides put us right on the fish all day. We had a great conversation in between fish which made it very comfortable to be with them. The quality of care Josh gave these Bull Reds…to make sure each one got back in the water after photo’s was i site to see. He made sure they all were safe. My wife and i are already talking about our next trip with Richie and Josh…. Tight lines to both of you for a job well done.
Thanks again
Jim and Ellen from N.J.

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.

Went bull red with capt.richie and first mate josh today these professional guides are the best there is by far had a great day . If you are looking to catch quality bull reds look no further you have found them. Thanks guys awesome day

Had a great time fishing with Capt. Richie and his mate Josh. They put me on the Bull Reds and made my trip. Can’t wait to get down there and fish with them again.

Captain Richie is one of the BEST charter captain’s in northeast Florida. His 30 years of experience ensures you’ll have one of the best fishing trips of your life! He’s very professional and will do everything he can to ensure you have the best fishing experience possible!! I highly recommend you book a charter with Captain Richie/Georgia Sport Fishing Charters..you will be happy you did!!! Georgia Sport Fishing Charters offers both inshore and offshore fishing trips. I will never book a charter with anyone other than Captain Richie Lott because he’s the BEST!!!

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. Great guy, great trip, lifelong customer.

I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with Capt Richie Lott many times. Inshore, nearshore, offshore…he definitely knows how and when to put you on fish! Fishing is his passion. If you’re ever in the Saint Simons-Jekyll area, book a charter! You’ll be glad you did. Highly recommended

The best fishing anywhere is with Captain Richie Lott! 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!!!!
