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 bait balls
Bowfishing- this is my favorite time of the year to Bowfish lots of activity at night on the flats, plenty of fish and rays to shoot out

Red snapper season is in full swing and they are biting well. We are catching limits on most trips with a few mackerel and jacks in between.

    We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Darrell and his deck hand Jon. We caught a good amount of fish. We will definitely be coming back and going on another trip.
