Trolling has picked up since the water temps have dropped, bottom fishing is still good with keeper Triggers here and there and big red snapper! The vermillion bite is on fire as always

Bowfishing- this is my favorite time of the year to Bowfish lots of activity at night on the flats, plenty of fish and rays to shoot out
Water conditions are the best they've been in 4 months! Jacks n reds are schooling up. Trout bite is good. Things are lining up for one of my favorite time's to catch fish.

We had terrible weather for our trip which made the day slow, but Keith has a great positive attitude and energy and worked hard to put us on the fish. Despite the very poor weather, we were still able to catch a few sharks (our target) and some other fish. We appreciated Keith’s focus and hard work to give us success!
If you want to have a great time and catch lots of fish, look no further!! This was such a fun experience for our family of 4. Captain Heath was the best guide ever!! We caught lots of fish and even got a chance to do a little snorkeling. We had the best time and will definitely be booking with him again asap!
Captain David was really friendly and had the knowledge it took to catch fish. He took extra time to show/teach 9 year old grandson how to catch 4 different species of saltwater fish. Thanks again captain.
Had an amazing day with Jordan, he was great with my older kids and we caught a lot of fish! He helped filet our catch of the day which was so delicious. We would hire Jordan again when we return to fish in Destin!
Brought my kids on the trip. Craig and crew were very accommodating and assisted family so I could also catch fish. Very friendly and highly recommend if bringing a family with mixed age group. Caught many snapper and get a few larger fish, grouper, Bonita, amber jack.
I will be looking up Craig for my next fishing trip in Destin.
