About Your Trip

Climb aboard Captain TJ's 40' Infinity luxury sportfishing vessel "High Cotton" for an incredible day of deepsea fishing off Destin! She is fully air-conditioned and boasts a private head and plenty of room to sit and rest out of the sun. She also has a large flybridge to take in the views in style.

Destin is the closest port launch to the deepwater you can find anywhere. This makes for not only a comfortable ride but also a quick ride, out to the deep water where the fish are abundant!

Once you've made it out deep enough, Captain TJ and his crew will either rig up the rods and outrigger to drag live bait or lures or set you up with circle hooks and weights to drop cut-bait down hundreds of feet to catch Snapper and other bottom dwellers. When trolling you can expect to catch Spanish Mackerel or King Mackerel, Tuna, and Wahoo!

Captain TJ offers a tremendously wide range of trip options, so whether you want to head out with your family for some vacation fun, or get serious with your boys and chase down the trophy fish of a lifetime, Captain TJ has got you covered!

Captain TJ will meet you at the dock fully loaded with all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice, and comfortable seating you will need for an awesome day out on the deep blue, so all you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, and your sun protection, and Captain TJ and his crew will take care of the rest!

About Your Guide

Tj G.

Independent Guide

Captain TJ has always loved the outdoors and he flat-out loves fishing! He started charter fishing with his uncle on school breaks when he was a teenager. In 2001 he got his first job as a full-time mate, and hasn't looked back since. His drive to continue captaining is the great feeling he gets from taking people who have never fished, don't get to go enough, or just don't know how to, and getting them...
