Explore the beauties of the Choctawhatchee Bay with North West Florida Guide Service. Captain Dalton Morrison has been fishing in these waters his whole life and it's still his greatest passion.

Hop on your captain's 22' Pathfinder bay boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. She is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and has all the safety and navigational equipment. There's also a live bait tank and an ice box.

A big part of the captain's service is teaching people how to fish, so you will have a great time even if you had no previous experience. Kids are more than welcome on his boat and he has one trip designed especially for them. There is no minimum age policy, but his rule is that kids under 6 years old have to wear life jackets at all times.

Your main targets will be inshore species, such as Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead, Bluefish, and Mangrove Snapper. If you choose to keep your catch, Capt. Dalton will gladly clean and fillet it for you at no extra cost.

Your captain will provide you with Shimano, St. Croix, and Penn fishing equipment, live bait, and fresh water. Feel free to bring other drinks and snacks with you. In case live bait is not prepared before the trip, you can learn how to catch it with the captain.

Capt. Dalton runs trips year round. Book your trip with North West Florida Guide Service and catch some fish!

Greatest time I’ve ever had in Destin!!
Kids trip 1 hr on September 2, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Dalton was amazing. He was so patient with my nephew and explained everything to him every step of the way. He ensured that everyone had the best time. He not only helped us catch fish, but he gave us tips on surf fishing while we’re in town. This is the perfect choice for any family or friends wanting to meet a local legend!

"We had an absolutely amazing fishing trip with Captain Dalton! He was fantastic with my son, as well as all of us adults. Captain Dalton made sure we were right where the fish were biting, and he was so patient, sharing his deep knowledge of the area. The boat was pristine, and the whole experience was top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure!"

Great family outing
Kids Trip (AM) on July 28, 20263 adults1 child

First time fishing as a family and we had a great time! Our kids got away from their screens and had a fishing pole in their hands! It was a hot day with little to no wind and Dalton made sure to move the boat to different locations so we can fish more comfortably.
