Fishing report this weekend: The bite has been solid this week! We’ve been putting clients on plenty of keeper red snapper along with grouper, and Amberjack offshore.

Calm mornings have made for great conditions, and the action has stayed consistent. If you’re planning a trip to Fort Walton Beach or Destin, now’s a great time to get on the water before the best dates fill up. Tight lines! 🎣

Snapper have been biting good with the random king mackerel, Mahi, or cobia. The most consistent bite has been the big vermillion snapper and the mangrove snapper. Federal boat has been catching bigger and better numbers of fish!

    Kyler was a great guide. He kept us on fish the whole trip and was a pleasure to talk to. Would definitely recommend.

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Family Friendly

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Blaze was awesome! Very flexible with scheduling, and put us on some fish quick! Had a monster on the line a few times that Captain Blaze mentioned he has been seeking to catch. Bummed the line snapped on us so we couldn't get him in, but I do hope to see a picture in the future of the fish! Highly recommend, O SEA D Charters and Captain Blaze. Very nice guy, and knowledgable about fishing. Had a great time, and will absolutely be back for another trip! 10 out of 10 recommend.

    Had a great time and Mike was very nice to my 10 year old niece who was scared to touch the fish but by the end she was holding them. 10 out of 10 would recommend and if I ever come back to the area I will be out with him again!

    Trip: Inshore / Nearshore Adventures

    Captain Kenny gave our family an unforgettable day on the water! From the moment we stepped aboard, he was fun, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome. Best of all, he had the whole family catching fish all day long—from mackerel to sharks and plenty in between! He was patient with everyone, kept the action going, and made sure we all had an amazing experience. To top it all off, he cleaned our catch so we could either take it home or have a local restaurant cook it for dinner. That made the day even more special. If you’re looking for a captain who works hard, knows where the fish are, and makes sure your family has an incredible time, Captain Kenny is the one to book. We made memories we’ll be talking about for years. Thank you for an amazing trip!
