Inshore- Redfish bite is picking up tremendously catching them on live bait near the Destin Pass area and deep water docks. Mangrove snapper's have been an easy target along the Destin jetties and bridges. Spanish mackerel and blue fish are still in the bay best method trolling for them.
Gulf- the main target species all summer are red snappers, season is open till the end of July 31. Destin is known for the red snapper season along with red snappers we are catching bigger mangrove snapper's, Key West porgies chocolate porgies and vermilion snapper's along with King Mackeral trolling around bait balls
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

Red snapper season is in full swing and they are biting well. We are catching limits on most trips with a few mackerel and jacks in between.

The past month has been absolutely on fire. Finding live bait such as cigar minnows and scaled sardines, along with squirrel fish have been the keys to getting limits. Dropping a Carolina rig with 30-50 lbs leader and 3-6 oz weights depending on the current has been the key to success. Can't find the live bait schools, no worries chum up the water real good and drop frozen cigar minnows and you should still pick up a few. If snapper is not in play, no need to worry, schools of Mahi have been swarming the deeper wrecks and you always have a chance to pull in a nice king Mackeral or some skip jacks on the troll. Amberjack season is opening up August 1st so get those poppers and plugs ready and hold on when those big AJ's start busting them.
