The Bulls reds are tearing it up, literally! Broken lines, straitened hooks and a broken pole but still managed to get these three in the boat.

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...

    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.
