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!

A couple 6-hour trips for the last few days it's been full moon fishing so we've had to work for all of our fish but we still made some decent catches

    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.

    Captain Mike was great! The fish were being stubborn during our trip but that didn’t stop Captain Mike from trying his hardest to get us on some fish! We all ended up catching several fish and we each caught an amberjack! If you happen to hook one of those HOLD ON!!

    If you are looking for a great inshore fishing experience, make sure you book with Colby. We were fishing during tough conditions and the other boats were not very successful. Colby put us on fish and we caught plenty of Mangrove Snapper and Trout. We also caught a couple of Redfish as well.

    Trip: Inshore Bash

    Kyle and Ben were great. We booked a full day and started at 5:30 catching out bait fish on the way out. My daughter and I quickly started getting motion sickness. My son and husband held on for a bit and were able to get a few catches in before they also felt the sea sickness. We headed back early. Ben and Kyle handled everything great and tried to still make it the best trip possible for us. Thanks guys! And sorry we weren’t more fun!
