We caught some great fish red grouper, gag grouper, amber jack, red snapper, trigger and Mingo. Not all were in season so took pictures and released safely. Also could you add us to okaloosa island, fort Walton beach and destin area for search locations.

The offshore bite has been good in between fronts with plenty of Vermillion snapper and a handful of triggerfish and Scamp Grouper! We have also had a few catch and release trips, and the targeted species has been bigger fish like Amberjack pictured here. Your choice, exquisite table fare or drag screamers! Choice is yours! Book your charter today and let's go fishing!

The giant sheep head are biting very well and given descent seas and a 5 hour trip or longer I'm catching some delicious red groupers in the gulf. Even a ruff day and to windy even in the bay to target sheephead, still catching delicious and fun fish.

    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.
