Spring break fishing along the Emerald Coast has been nothing short of outstanding, and our recent trips out of Santa Rosa Beach and Destin, Florida, have delivered consistent action for anglers of all experience levels. The biggest headline has been the new Okaloosa nearshore FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices), which are already producing exceptional results. These shallow water fish attracting devices have been holding strong numbers of mahi mahi, giving us steady offshore-style action just a short run from the beach. Clients have been thrilled with the opportunity to target pelagic species without needing a full-day trip.

Closer to shore, the Spanish mackerel bite has been on fire inside Destin Harbor and along the Destin jetties. This has been a perfect option for families and spring breakers looking for fast-paced action, with multiple hook-ups and nonstop rod-bending activity. We've also been finding quality mahi mahi on weedlines within 5 miles of the beach, another great sign that our spring pelagic season is ramping up early this year. These fish have been eager to bite and provide excellent table fare for our crews. For anglers booking our 6-hour trips, the bottom fishing has been just as consistent. We've been putting together solid catches of red grouper, giving clients a great mix of offshore action and dependable bottom fishing. Looking Ahead: April Pelagic Season Heating Up. As we move deeper into April, everything is lining up for an incredible spring pelagic fishing season along the 30A and Destin coastline. Historically, this is when the fishing really takes off,” and we're already seeing early signs of what's to come. Over the past several seasons, we have consistently produced tuna and marlin catches around the FADs throughout April and May, and we expect this year to be no different. With warming water temperatures and increasing bait activity, the Gulf is coming alive. Whether you're targeting mahi mahi, tuna, or even a shot at a billfish, now is the time to get on the schedule.
