The fishing has been a little slow for us but today it turned on hard. We had trout, gaff top, lady fish, bull reds and more keeping us on our toes. Used live bait and artificial. Today's bite was just awesome, here are a few pics.

The amberjack bite has been on fire as well as Almaco Jacks, Triggerfish are running small so hooking up with a keeper trigger has been a chore! Plenty of Vermillion snapper and Porgy's around though. Trolling has been hit or miss, depending on the current some days we catch 6 and some days they aren't hitting! The blackfin are on the move as the water temp starts to drop they are moving closer inside of state waters! King mackerel have been the main ones we have been hooking up with on the shotgun trolling! Red snapper are everywhere but out...

The weather conditions have been great along with the fishing. The warm water is pushing the fish to deeper water. The grouper, tilefish, triggerfish, mingo, and swordfish bite have been on fire lately

This week the Triggerfish bite has been slow! Trolling has produced Bonita and some small wahoo! We have been able to locate the Mahi several times for a good solid bite! A few triple tail keepers have made it to the ice, as well as a few Almaco Jacks

Fishing here in Santa Rosa beach is on fire right now. Offshore we are catching vermillion snapper, triggerfish, mangrove snapper, few kings and Spanish and some Mahi and black fin tuna around our fads offshore.
Inshore is heating up with most catches being redfish and jack Crevalle, but we are still finding speckled trout, Spanish mackerel and mangrove snapper.

Now that the summer's red snapper season is coming to an end don't forget the pelagics and other reef species such as gag grouper. Grouper sandwiches are on the menu now!

The redfish bite is really good right now. The rain has cooled the water temps down into the mid to low 80s. Seems like a falling tide with live bait is working best.

    Trip: Destin Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We definitely had a good trip with Captain harold. He put us on fish all day long on our 10hr trip. We caught a lot of fish between the 6 of us at every location captain harold stopped us at. We recommend this guide to anyone who wants to have fun catching fish.

    Trip: Intense Inshore Action!

  • ★★★★★
    Was a great experience for my inexperienced family. First we caught bait fish jigging a little offshore. Using a 5 hook rig almost every time we hooked multiple fish. Catching 4 to 5 was not uncommon. Then we went about 8 miles offshore to fish in about 90’ of water. Everyone caught fish. Just a note that catching a 24” amberjack in 90’ of water will wear a person out. Though we caught lots of fish only had 3 of keeper size. My entire group said they would do it again.

    We had a great time with Jonathan. He was patient with us three amateurs and put us on some nice redfish. My grandson who is 7 had a blast catching his first redfish. Thanks again.

    Trip: Fall Inshore Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Honestly, we were very disappointed in our trip. The beginning was fine. As time went on, David ‘s language was a bit rough with choice words that we didn’t need to hear. His driving of the boat in rough water was way too fast and both of our backs are still hurting a week later . And we may be a bit older- but both in good shape. At the end of the trip- just had us casting in grass. Never been on a trip where at least cold bottles of water weren’t offered or available . Would never recommend. Expensive trip for a few fish and not as we have experienced before on other fishing outings. We did give a nice tip 20% because that’s who we are . Wish him the best in the future.

    Captain Richie did not disappoint. Party of 10 with 8 of us beginners, each came away with multiple catches! During our last stop, we encountered a school of Mahi Mahi. Captain Richie and crew tried to capture as many possible!! Will definitely book again!
