Throughout the year, Get The Gaff offers a range of fishing opportunities in the gulf of Mexico, bays, inshore, as well as taking you offshore for some more extreme game fishing. Raised in Louisiana, but having moved to Destin as a teenager, Captain Bankston Taylor is well adept at fishing the Gulf and is desperate to share his passion with you.

You'll drift along the waters aboard a spacious 26' Robalo center console, allowing for 360-degree vision when fishing, as well as plenty of room to tug and swing when trying to reel in a big one. The boat is powered by brand new twin Yamaha 150 HP engines, so you'll have no problem getting right out to the heart of the ocean whilst the fishfinder on board will make sure you're at the sweetest spots for fishing sought-after Grouper, Amberjack, Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and even wahoo. Get the Gaff also offers daytime Sword fishing trips if the weather permits!

Outriggers are fitted to maximize your chances of catching as many fish as possible, while you'll be using, Penn, and Shimano rods and reels to try and hook them in. Brand new carbon fiber Shimano bent buts with new Shimano Tyrnos II reels, Talica 50 or electric deep drop, to reel in the big ones. Fish for live bait at the beginning of the trip, and have some extra bait on the boat. As the waters are so diverse, you can use almost any technique to reel 'em in, such as drift fishing, bottom fishing, jigging, spinning, trolling, and even gigging for Flounder. Get the Gaff has everything from light tackle to the best heavy tackle you could need.

With Get The Gaff, you can master your skills or simply catch the fishing bug. You're also encouraged to bring your snorkeling gear as well to get up close and personal with the beautiful creatures under the sea. There's also a new Garman Fusion radio with JBL speakers and a 10' Bazooka Tube on board so you can blast your favorite tunes as you ride out. The whole family is welcome, so what are you waiting for?

awesome trip. weather didnt want to cooperate with us so we had to stay near shore due to wave size but boy did we catch them. had a boat full of mackerel and sashimi grade tuna by 10. then went caught our own bait and slayed some trophy amberjack. even caught a tagged amberjack to finish off our trip. it was one for the books for sure. cant complain about the 5 days of lunch and dinner for 3 people as well. would definitely reccomend captain taylor and his cousin to everyone ! cant wait to get back out there

Thank you so much for your review as well as the 5 stars. I am pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your fishing charter with us even though we had a little bit of crazy weather. I am glad we could still slay some fish. I hope to take you out again in the future.

Captain put us on fish like he said he would. My wife and daughter came out with myself and the boys for the first time. Caught big Amberjack and Tuna. It was priceless seeing the expressions on my daughter and wife’s faces. Definitely recommend Capt. Taylor and this charter. We will use them again.

Absolute blast sport fishing with Capt Taylor
6 Hour PM Deep Sea on October 21, 20252 adults
An unforgettable day on the water with Captain Taylor! From start to finish, this trip was everything you could hope for in a deep-sea adventure. Captain Taylor knew exactly where to go and made sure we were on the fish all day long! Between the big amberjack (a true reef donkey!), hard-fighting redfish, skipjack that wouldn’t quit jumping, and even a little tuna that almost became shark bait, there was never a dull moment. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip fun — even when the fish were giving us a run for our money. You can tell he loves what he does and genuinely wants his guests to have an amazing experience. If you’re heading to the Destin area and want to catch fish, laugh hard, and make memories that’ll last a lifetime — book a trip with Captain Taylor. You won’t regret it! We’ll definitely be back for round two!

Great trip!

Got us right into some fish and we had a great time realing them in. Filleted right in front of us, packed, and ate our catch (with extra fish we took home) at AJs that evening. Great experience all the way around!
