About Your Guide

When it comes to fishing the Emerald Coast, it's safe to say Captain Bernie knows what he's doing. Captain Bernie has been fishing the waters of Fort Walton Beach since his father's military assignment brought him there as a young boy. Tagging along on fishing trips with his Dad gave him the professional knowledge he needed to eventually join a Destin charter boat business in 1984.

Great time! 5 hour trip had time for catching bait fish, trolling, and bottom fishing. Got a bunch of Spanish Mackerel and Bonito, a couple good Triggerfish, and some miscellaneous.
