Trolling is at 50/50 right now but bottom fishing is really good if you can get through the triggerfish! The FWC is going to have to make a no limit on them as they are taking over Reefs and Wrecks, we usually catch around 100 triggerfish with maybe 2 or 3 keepers on a good day! The red snapper are big this year and it should be a good season.

Inshore fishing report- schools of Spanish mackerel can still be found on the incoming tide near the Destin pass and along the beaches, along with a few pompano and whiting in the surf.
Red Fish are being caught near the Destin bridge on the outgoing tide along with the Destin Jetty’s.
The speckled sea trout bite has been slim to none, but the Best Bite has been early morning on grass beds using live bait.
Near shore, fishing report-
Rocks and reefs are holding lots of amber jacks, red snappers triggerfish in a variety of other reef species. King Mackerel...

    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.
