About Your Trip

Head out to explore the inshore waterways and flats around Destin FL with Captain Jonathan! With years of experience guiding and fishing these waters, Captain Jonathan knows the best areas to hit and the best times to hit them.

On your trip, you can expect to start in the grass flats early in the morning. This is where you will find Redfish milling around looking for breakfast! As the morning progresses, you can expect to either move further up the flat as the morning draws on or bomb it out to the jetties a little further out to target bigger Reds and Trout. Flounder are also thoroughly dispersed throughout the bay, so you can expect to hook into them as well!

You can also target Bluefish, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon and the occasional Shark in the inshores this time of year. You can use a variety of techniques to target these fish, and this vessel is equipped to handle bottom fishing, drift fishing, heavy tackle, jigging, light tackle, and trolling. Just let Captain Jonathan know what you want to catch and he'll get you squared away with the best method!

Captain Jonathan will meet you at the dock with a fully loaded 22' Cape Horn bay boat. Powered by a 250 HP Evinrude engine, this sturdy vessel will have no problem maneuvering the inshore Destin waters. She's equipped with a GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, Multimedia System, Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Captain Jonathon will even clean any keepers you bring in at the dock.

Captain Jonathan will provide all Rods, Reels, Tackle, Bait and Fishing licenses you will need for a wonderful fall day out on the water. All you need to bring is your weather-appropriate gear and your favorite snacks and drinks. Captain Jonathan will take care of the rest to ensure you have an outstanding day out on the water!

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?

I’ve been part of 600+lb Blue Marlins.. 150+YFT’s… some really nice swordys but personally probabaly a 92.6lb cobia inshore and 125lb yellowfin offshore.

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

As much as I love to fish, I’m an opportunistic fish eat eater and would cook deer rolls or rib eye dinner! lol
