About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Robbie and prepare for an action-packed day of fishing the Florida Panhandle! Destin fishing is world-famous for a reason, and the inshore and nearshore Destin waters are perfect for chasing some exciting catches not too far from the dock.

On this 4-hour trip, Captain Robbie will take you through the inshore flats and bay systems around Destin where you can target a huge selection of fish including Blacktip Shark, Florida Pompano, Flounder, Redfish and Speckled Trout. On beautifully calm days, Captain Robbie can occasionally take you out on the Gulf side to target Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Vermilion Snapper and more. To target these fish, you'll be using a variety of techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling and jigging. Whichever type of fish you want to catch, Captain Robbie will get you set up with the best method!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 21' Cape Horn center console with a 250 HP Yamaha engine and enough seating to accommodate up to 4 passengers comfortably. This vessel is equipped with GPS, a Fishfinder, Tuna Tower, a Live Bait Well, and an ice box to store your catches. Captain Robbie will happily clean any keepers for no additional cost!

Captain Robert will provide all rods, reels, tackle and live bait. All you need to bring is sunscreen and any food or drinks you might need. Climb aboard with Captain Robbie!

My 12 yr old daughter and I went out with Robbie on June 24, 2024. Robbie knew where the fish were. It was a great day and even better memories with my daughter. Thanks again, Robbie. I look forward to fishing with you again next year!
