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! 🎣

The Snapper bite has been really good lately. We've managed to get our limit of Red Snapper on all trips so far, as well as picking up a "bonus" fish (Mangrove Snapper) occasionally. The trolling bite has been off due to the heavy rain water that we've recently gotten. Get a group of 6 together and Let's Go Fishing!

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!

    Reid was great, although we didn’t catch anything to bring home (water was rough after the storm went through), we still enjoyed our trip. Reid took us a few different places, we caught hardhead, gafftop, and lady fish. Reid made sure we were always baited up and carried on good conversation. When we come back we plan to use him again!

    Trip: 3-4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    This was our first time booking a fishing trip as a family with our 9 year old and 6 year old. Captain Gail was amazing! She was very attentive, sweet, and patient with the kids and made sure we all were safe and having a great time. We caught 9 fish and plan to book with Captain Gail next summer!!!!!
