The fishing has been a little slow for us but today it turned on hard. We had trout, gaff top, lady fish, bull reds and more keeping us on our toes. Used live bait and artificial. Today's bite was just awesome, here are a few pics.

The amberjack bite has been on fire as well as Almaco Jacks, Triggerfish are running small so hooking up with a keeper trigger has been a chore! Plenty of Vermillion snapper and Porgy's around though. Trolling has been hit or miss, depending on the current some days we catch 6 and some days they aren't hitting! The blackfin are on the move as the water temp starts to drop they are moving closer inside of state waters! King mackerel have been the main ones we have been hooking up with on the shotgun trolling! Red snapper are everywhere but out...

The weather conditions have been great along with the fishing. The warm water is pushing the fish to deeper water. The grouper, tilefish, triggerfish, mingo, and swordfish bite have been on fire lately

This week the Triggerfish bite has been slow! Trolling has produced Bonita and some small wahoo! We have been able to locate the Mahi several times for a good solid bite! A few triple tail keepers have made it to the ice, as well as a few Almaco Jacks

Fishing has been great lately in the Chocktawahachee Bay. The weather has been great. Spanish mackerel, lady fish and sharks have been very consistent!

Fishing here in Santa Rosa beach is on fire right now. Offshore we are catching vermillion snapper, triggerfish, mangrove snapper, few kings and Spanish and some Mahi and black fin tuna around our fads offshore.
Inshore is heating up with most catches being redfish and jack Crevalle, but we are still finding speckled trout, Spanish mackerel and mangrove snapper.

You might get lucky (as long as things are in-season).

Mike was an awesome captain cannot thank him enough for being patient with my son. We caught what we could and had a blast doing it. Got to go fast and catch fish what else can you ask for!
Captain Richie, Quinten and Dexter were FIRST CLASS. They gave great advice upon booking, and their insight led us to a marvelous deep sea fishing day. We caught trigger fish, snapper and a couple grouper we needed to throw back. They kept us safe, made excellent conversation and facilitated an all round stellar day. It didn’t stop there - everything was cleaned, fillet and scaled as I requested. Just awesome. We will definitely book with them again next year. Thank you!

Cliff and Austin were great and a lot of fun to be around. Caught tons of fish and had a lot of fun! Definitely would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a good reliable guide in destin.
Huge shout out to Cliff and Austin! Took my kids on their first fishing trip in the Gulf. Cliff got us on the fish and Austin kept us fishing reeling in the fish. Perfect family trip. The kids loved it. Cliff turned us on to Brotula's "catch and cook." Just topped off the trip eating our fresh catch.
Captain Ken was amazing! Our family of 4 had a great experience. We had a fish on all 4 rods at one point, Spanish Mackeral to Red Snapper! We had an amazing time, we will be back to hang with Captain Ken!
I took my three adult children out for a 3 hour fish in the lagoon, and Captain Jeff and his brother Jason were fantastic hosts. The fishing was slow but they did put us on some red snapper and everyone caught a few fish. They were very attentive and were great to us all. I would certainly recommend fishing with them. The boat was comfortable and I had no complaints. I will certainly look to fish with them again. I give them 5 stars. Thank you Jeff.
