BAY FISHING

With most bay fishing excursions we mostly target speckle trout and redfish, but it’s not uncommon to catch ladyfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, black drum or black snapper. Most of our fishing is in the Choctawhatchee Bay and Intracoastal Waterways. We fish over grass beds, oyster bars and around our favorite docks and bridges. We use the best ultra light tackle on the market from Shimano for reliable drag screaming action. Questions? - Call Capt. Chris Kirby at (850) 685-9368 or (850) 279-4315.

NEAR SHORE GULF FISHING

Come with us on the Beautiful Emerald Blue Waters off the Destin Florida Coast to experience a "reel" good time out on the water. The 3 most common trips we do are: Bottom Fishing, Trolling and Shark Fishing. When most people think of Gulf Fishing the first thing that comes to mind is riding 25+ miles one way to go fish, which is not always the case. Why would you ride all that way when you have great near shore fishing close? A lot of our fishing is in water depths from 60' to 100' usually only a few miles off the beach! Book Your Trip Now - Call Capt. Chris Kirby at (850) 685-9368 or (850) 279-4315.

With the laws the way they are right now the red snapper sizes are abnormal size from years past. The average snapper we catch in close range is from 8-10 lbs with a few 15-18 lb fish being caught. We use light tackle for them which young children can use easier than heavy conventional tackle. For the more experienced angler to test their skills on, we have super ultra light tackle that is sure to get anyone a big thrill.

We like to do alot of chumming to get the fish right up under the boat for some awesome in your face bites that you can see!

Trolling is another type of fishing we can do which entails trolling live and artificial baits for king and Spanish mackerel, with the mighty sailfish that likes to make its appearance every now and again during the summer months, which is always a ‘crowd pleaser’.

Whatever you’re feeling like doing we can make it happen. A lot of customers like to do a little of both trolling and bottom fishing so they get the best experience of both!

Don't forget to bring the kids. They are the future of our sport. If they get to go, they will come to love the outdoors. Remember your camera, you never know what you might hook while your fishing in Destin, Florida - The Luckiest Fishing Village in the world!
