About Your Trip

Destin's emerald waters hold some of the most productive nearshore fishing grounds in the Gulf of Mexico, and Captain Brady knows every inch of them. Just a short run from the dock, the nearshore reefs, ledges, and weed lines load up with hard-fighting species year-round, putting you in the action fast and keeping you there all day.

Trolling the nearshore zone off Destin means targeting a rotating cast of Gulf favorites. King Mackerel are the headliner, known for blistering runs that will test your drag and your nerves. Spanish Mackerel are a near-constant presence, hitting spoons and diving plugs with explosive strikes. When conditions line up, Mahi Mahi push into the nearshore weed lines, and Cobia cruise the surface looking for an easy meal. Captain Brady reads the water, the bait, and the season to put you where the bite is hottest.

The boat is rigged and ready for a full day of trolling, with quality rods, reels, and tackle all provided. Captain Brady and his crew handle the spread so you can focus on the fight, whether this is your first time holding a rod or you've been chasing Kings your whole life. The crew loves putting families and first-timers on fish, and they're just as comfortable running a focused, high-effort trip for seasoned anglers who want to maximize the box.

At the end of the day, the crew will clean and fillet your catch dockside so you can head straight home with dinner ready to go. All you need to bring is your food, drinks, sunscreen, and a camera.

Book a trip with Captain Brady and find out why Destin keeps earning its reputation as one of the Gulf's finest fishing destinations.

About Your Guide

Brady B.

Independent Guide

Meet Captain Brady—a true Destin native who’s been part of the local fishing scene since 1989. He started out as a second mate and earned his Captain’s license in 1995, running charters ever since with a reputation for excellence that’s hard to match. With decades on the water and a deep connection to the Gulf, Captain Brady is consistently recognized as one of Destin’s finest, earning “Captain of the Year” honors in 2008, 2016, and 2017.

Brady’s trips are more than just a day of fishing—they’re a front-row seat to the unforgettable. Ask him about the Mako shark that leapt 20 feet after snatching a Grouper, the Marlin that exploded out of the water with an Amberjack hanging from its mouth, or the dawn double hookup on two Blue Marlin near a drillship. With Brady, you don’t just catch fish—you collect stories.

Fishing is a family affair for Brady, with his wife Pam managing guest accommodations and the entire crew working together to deliver an exceptional experience. Whether you're chasing big game offshore or enjoying a fun day with family, Captain Brady brings the knowledge, professionalism, and passion to make every trip one to remember.
