Blackfin Tuna Fishing Charters In Santa Rosa Beach

Climb aboard Captain Matthew's sportfisher for an action-packed close offshore adventure! After launching from the dock, you will ride out of Destin Pass and start our fishing trip. For these 4-6 hour trips you can travel up to 15 miles offshore. The beauty of Destin however is that the deep water is easily accessible within that distance. So even on a half or 3/4 day adventure like this one you can still hook into some monster (and delicious) fish! Usually, you will troll on your ride out. While trolling with Captain Matthew, you may have a chance to catch many species, such as King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, and Bonitas. These are the more common fish. Other species you might encounter as well are Wahoos, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tunas, Barracudas, and Sailfish. During your travel out to deeper water, the mates will be working to make sure you are ready to go when we get to our fishing spot. They will be cutting bait, getting rods ready, and teaching you the basics of fishing school. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a complete novice, Captain Matthew and his crew are very patient and do the best job possible to make sure you are trained up and ready to go. Once you arrive at our fishing destination, Captain Matthew will have you fishing for different species in various ways, depending on what you're after! When we are finished fishing, we will head back home. During this travel time, we will also troll. When we get back to the dock, we will unload fish and your belongings. Your mates will hang up your fish and this is the time for you to take pictures of your catch! After pictures, the mates will clean and bag your fish for you to take home and enjoy. Beyond an outstanding Captain at its helm, Matthew's vessel also comes loaded with all the fishing gear you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. So all you need to bring is your sun protection, snacks, drinks, and a tip for the mates, and Captain Matthew and his crew will take care of the rest to ensure you have the best experience out on the water.

This trip starts at the docks in the Harborwalk Village of Destin. Upon arrival you will meet with your captain or one of our associates. If your charter begins at 6am that is when your charter boat will set off from the docks. Your charter service starts with a cruise through the Destin Harbor and out into the Destin Pass. After reaching the end of the Destin Pass we will set up to begin catching our Live Bait. This usually takes 30 mins(give or take) to catch enough Live Bait to fish with during your fishing trip. After we have enough Live Bait we head out into the Gulf of Mexico to begin catching reef or pelagic fish. It all depends on how the fish are biting that day but we will either stay in one area for the rest of your trip or we will move to another fishing spot. After a few hours of fishing (depending on your hourly trip) we will then head back to the docks. This will usually be a 1 hour ride back (depending on your hourly trip) to the harbor. During this time you and your friends can crack open a cold one or relax on the quick trip back to the docks. Immediately after arriving at the docks your captain and crew will clean all your fish for you so you can take your catch with you.

But don't fret a laborious slow trug offshore... with 4 300 Yamahas strapped to the stern this rig can cook up to 65 knots to make sure you waste no time getting out to Captain Lane's favorite offshore spot and gives you more time to fish on the back end as the ride is quicker back to the dock. You can talk with Captain Lane about your experience level, target species, and other comfort preferences before you make the run, so ultimately you have the say in how far offshore you'd like to run. But if weather conditions are right, and you're up for a voyage, this 12 hour trips is where a lot of dreams come true, and where truly fantastic catches can be made. Heading 60+ miles offshore, standard offshore species are all well with a range like Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Big Red and Gag Grouper, Wahoo, Sailfish and Blackfin Tuna. But on top, the extra time opens the door to deep water species like Yellow Fin Tuna, Marlin, and even Swordfish. By no means are any of these species a shoo-in for your 12-hour trip, but the odds of catching a big game fish like that do exist. It's that chance, that chase, that catch (hopefully) that attracts avid fishermen to this trip. Captain Lane will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, a lunch, and any snacks or drinks you'd like to enjoy while onboard. Read More
