With years of experience and a passion for fishing, you'll have the choice to embark on a fishing adventure staying closer to shore on Choctawatchee Bay or fishing further out in the State waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sticking around in the bay you'll be using light tackle and live bait targeting a variety of fish species, including redfish and trout.
