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!

Dalton was amazing! Great Captain! Very knowledgeable and fun. We had a blast. The great recommendation for luck at Nick’s was the finishing touch to a great day of fishing!

Half day with Capt Dalton

We recently spent a week in Destin with another couple. My buddy and I decided to book a last minute half day bay fishing trip. I had contacted an outfitter and they gave me Capt Dalton's contact info as a reference. As luch would have it we were able to book it. Unfortunately there was no live bait to be had that morning. Still within 30 minutes Capt Dalton had us on fish. We caught half a dozen spotted trout which we could have continued catching. Our goal was to catch a red fish. In order to do so we had to catch some bait fish which we did. Despite Capt Dalton's efforts we tried multiple methods and locations with no luck. He was generous in extending our trip an extra hour which he did not have to do. I recommend booking with Capt Dalton for he has an extensive knowledge of the bay and tributaries. Although we did not catch red fish, it was not for lack of trying. That is why they call it "fishing" and not "catching".

Perfect morning Inshore trip

VERIFIED

My husband, myself, and our 11 year d enjoyed our morning Inshore fishing trip. Dalton was great! We caught so many fish, my son even caught a sting ray which he thought was “so cool”(of course we let it go). The weather was perfect, the boat was in tip top shape, the fish were biting, Dalton was great with our son, etc.! We will be calling him when we come back next year for our Summer beach Vacation and booking with him again! Highly recommend booking with Dalton!
