trip description for Captain’s Choice: Troll + Shark in Destin

The Captain’s Choice charter trips include 1 hour of light tackle trolling, followed by 4 hours of shark fishing! Fun for the whole family! We are located behind Dewey Destin’s on the harbor. We share a parking lot with Luther’s Pontoon and Dewey’s. Please pull all the way down the hill to the water the morning of (free parking) and we can get everyone loaded up. We recommend you bring drinks/snacks and sunscreen. It will be hot! But we do have AC inside the boat as well as a restroom. We leave the dock at 5:30am so we ask if you could try and come a few minutes early so we can get everyone signed in and load your bags on the boat. A run down of our trolling charters: We have out 3-4 rods at a time and are continuously moving. We will pull lures through the water as we cruise through the Emerald Coast. You'll get to see an amazing sunrise (and probably some dolphins). Our targeted species are king Mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and bonitas. Light tackle trolling is fun for all ages, and the bite lately has been great first thing in the morning. A run down of our shark fishing charters: We make our way to our shark fishing spot, which is only about 10 mins away/less than a mile off shore. Then we will then throw the anchor and chum the waters with carcasses from the previous day and get our 3 big shark rods out. We have them all at different levels, one at the bottom, one mid-water and one floating on top. After we get those out and everyone is comfy we will get a couple of bottom fishing rods out to try and catch some snappers, trigger fish, etc. This is what we will do while we wait for the shark bite. The sharks will smell our chum and come to us so we have to be patient. Once we get the shark hooked up, we will get all of the other rods reeled in, throw the poly ball connected to our anchor and fight the shark. This way we can move with the shark and back down on him if needed. I hope this was helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to fishing with y'all. Read More

What is blacktip shark fishing in Santa Rosa Beach all about?

In the waters surrounding Santa Rosa Beach, anglers occasionally encounter blacktip sharks, adding an element of excitement to fishing excursions. Blacktip sharks are known for their distinct black markings on the tips of their fins, as well as their acrobatic leaps out of the water when hooked. While not as commonly targeted as other species, blacktip sharks can provide anglers with thrilling battles and memorable catches.

Blacktip sharks are typically found in nearshore and offshore waters along the Gulf Coast, often patrolling areas with sandy bottoms and schools of baitfish. Anglers targeting blacktip sharks in Santa Rosa Beach often use heavy tackle and wire leaders to handle these powerful predators. Techniques such as bottom fishing with large baitfish or trolling with rigged baits can be effective for enticing strikes from blacktip sharks.

Encounters with blacktip sharks in Santa Rosa Beach are most common during the warmer months, particularly in late spring and summer, when water temperatures rise and baitfish populations increase. While blacktip sharks are generally not considered a primary target species, anglers may encounter them while fishing for other game fish such as king mackerel, tarpon, or redfish. The thrill of hooking into a blacktip shark and experiencing its powerful runs and acrobatic jumps adds an extra level of excitement to any fishing adventure along the Gulf Coast of Florida.

What are the most popular months to fish for blacktip shark in Santa Rosa Beach?

In Santa Rosa Beach, encountering blacktip sharks is more common during certain seasons when these predators are more active and prevalent in the Gulf waters. Typically, blacktip shark sightings and catches increase during the warmer months of late spring and summer. As water temperatures rise and baitfish populations thrive, blacktip sharks migrate closer to the shorelines and into shallower waters, making them more accessible to anglers.

Late spring and summer are considered prime seasons for blacktip shark encounters in Santa Rosa Beach, with heightened activity and abundance of these impressive predators. Anglers targeting blacktip sharks during these seasons have a greater chance of success, as the sharks are more likely to patrol the nearshore and offshore waters in search of prey. As fall approaches and water temperatures begin to cool, the blacktip shark season in Santa Rosa Beach may see a decrease in activity, although encounters can still occur throughout the year.

Understanding the seasonal patterns and adjusting fishing strategies accordingly can help anglers maximize their chances of encountering blacktip sharks in the waters of Santa Rosa Beach. Whether fishing from shore, from a boat, or from a kayak, encountering a blacktip shark promises exhilarating battles and the opportunity to experience the thrill of fishing for these powerful predators along Florida's enchanting Gulf Coast.

What techniques are popular for catching blacktip shark in Santa Rosa Beach?

Anglers targeting blacktip sharks in Santa Rosa Beach employ various effective techniques to entice strikes from these powerful predators. One common method is using large baitfish or chunks of cut bait as bait and bottom fishing from boats or piers. Blacktip sharks are known to patrol sandy bottoms and nearshore areas, making them susceptible to bait presentations dropped to the ocean floor. Anglers often use heavy tackle and wire leaders to handle the strength and sharp teeth of these sharks.

Another productive technique for blacktip shark fishing in Santa Rosa Beach is trolling with rigged baits or lures. Anglers troll along the edges of sandbars, drop-offs, or nearshore reefs where blacktip sharks are known to frequent. This method allows anglers to cover more ground and explore different fishing spots, increasing their chances of encountering schools of hungry blacktip sharks. Additionally, trolling allows anglers to present baits or lures at various depths in the water column to target sharks at different levels.

Chumming is also an effective strategy for attracting blacktip sharks in Santa Rosa Beach. Anglers create a chum slick by dispersing a mixture of chopped baitfish or fish parts into the water to create a scent trail that draws sharks to the fishing area. Once the sharks are attracted by the chum, anglers can present baits or lures to entice strikes. Whether bottom fishing, trolling, or chumming, mastering these diverse techniques ensures that anglers can enjoy successful and thrilling blacktip shark fishing experiences in the waters off Santa Rosa Beach.

What other species are popular in Santa Rosa Beach?

Apart from blacktip sharks, Santa Rosa Beach offers anglers a diverse range of other species to target, ensuring exciting fishing opportunities throughout the year. One popular catch among fishermen is the red snapper, prized for its delicious flavor and challenging fights. These prized fish inhabit reefs, wrecks, and rocky outcroppings, providing anglers with thrilling battles as they test their skills against these powerful predators.

Another sought-after species in Santa Rosa Beach is the king mackerel, also known as kingfish, prized for its impressive size and powerful runs. King mackerel are often found cruising the offshore waters around Santa Rosa Beach, particularly during their seasonal migrations in the spring and summer months. Anglers targeting kingfish can use a variety of techniques, including trolling with rigged baits or flashy lures, live bait fishing, or sight casting to feeding fish.

For those seeking inshore fishing adventures, Santa Rosa Beach offers the chance to target species such as speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. Speckled trout, in particular, are a favorite among anglers for their aggressive strikes and delicious flavor. Anglers can explore the shallow flats, grassy shorelines, and tidal creeks of Santa Rosa Beach in search of these prized game fish, enjoying thrilling battles and memorable catches along the way. Whether targeting red snapper offshore, king mackerel in the Gulf waters, or inshore species like speckled trout, Santa Rosa Beach promises endless opportunities for anglers to experience the excitement of fishing along Florida's enchanting Gulf Coast.

    John knows where the fish are and is very active in getting to the best spots! Definitely will go again on our next trip!

    Judah and his crew were amazing. We slaughtered 60 red snapper in 4 hours. We also reeled in 2 sandbar sharks. Judah was steering excellently and the crew worked their tails off to make sure we could immediately recast after reeling in a catch. The custom boat was also a great touch with a nice rearfacing bench for resting from catching so many fish. Definitely book these folks

    We fished with Capt'n Blake on the 32 Sportsman. Blake was friendly, energetic and most of all, he was determined to put us on the fish. My 13 year old son and his friend were with us, and Blake was extremely attentive and helpful with the youth anglers. I would highly recommend Capt'n Blake, and Captain Experiences, and I would book this same exact trip again if given the opportunity. Tight lines!
