Bottom fishing has been active with plenty of vermillion, mangrove, red, and lane snapper being caught. Aj's are fired up too which makes bottom fishing all the more fun! Sharks seem to always be an option for adventurous angles too!

Fishing is very good right now! Chilly, but worth it. Red snappers are open until December 31st, triggers are the same! Plenty of mingos and flounders just starting to show up with the cold

The youngest guy in the picture of three was 81 years old. I hope I'm as blessed as they are to still be able to do what I love to do at their age.

    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!

    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.
