Take your kids out on the water and get them hooked on fishing! Captain Mike will teach them how to fish in the calm waters of Choctawhatchee Bay and maybe even the gulf on days where it isn't too choppy. This is mainly a catch and release trip but if you catch something worth eating, Captain Mike will filet it and let you take it home for dinner!
...Read MoreCaptain Mike has been fishing the Destin area waters from 1969 to present, Captain Mike has the experience and know-how to keep you busy. The inshore Gulf of Mexico has everything from the drag-screaming light tackle action of King Mackerel to the excellent table fare of Red Snapper and Grouper. Also available is Backcountry (back bay) fishing for Speckled Trout, Red fish, flounder, and Spanish mackerel. This is the kind of light tackle rod bending action that will keep you and your family smiling. Captain Mike uses live bait in almost all situations to keep you catching the big ones, however, if you are an artificial bait fisher manor fly-fisherman…yes they do that too! Captain Mike will do everything in his power to make your Destin fishing experience is a memorable one and the highlight of your vacation. There are so many different fish to catch in this area, which one do you want to target?
