Oddly enough, the best fishing here is when most of the tourists are not!

Red snapper open on Fri, Saturday, and Sunday until November 30 th. The mahi should come back to my fads soon, provided we don't get any big storms for a bit out in the Gulf. Plenty of action with the light tackle bottom fishing. Red fish, mangrove snapper and Spanish...

Bottom fishing continues to be good. Snappers, triggers, groupers, and amberjack. Some kings and Spanish around on the troll. Plenty of sharks as well

The bite was pretty good with vermilion snapper. Red snapper opened back up on the weekends and has been spotty. We caught my first small sailfish a few weeks ago.

5 Stars! Capt Katie and her deck hand Nick (amazing young man) gave us a wonderful day of fishing on the Gulf. Her hospitality, knowledge of fishing in the Gulf and patient instruction made for a very enjoyable and interesting trip. We trolled for mackerel and did some bottom fishing for shark, which unexpectedly got us a red snapper plus a good size shark. For me it was a welcome return to nearshore fishing and for my son, a new experience. I highly recommend a trip with Capt Katie. She is keeping the spirit of Destin, the luckiest fishing village in the world, alive and well. You will not be disappointed.
