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!

Joanna CabreraRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewBEST FISHING TRIP!
Half Day Trip (PM) on September 20, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childDalton was the absolute best fishing guide. He is very knowledgeable, and was really kind and patient with our 5 year old son who asked tons of questions. We had a great time catching a good amount of fish, and he went out of his way to give us a great experience, and we did! We definitely recommend him! Thank you Dalton!
Hannah Dame5.0VerifiedGreatest time I’ve ever had in Destin!!
Kids trip 1 hr on September 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain 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!
Jonathan TinsleyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing & Fantastic Fellowship!
Half day a.m on July 29, 2026 • 2 adultsThanks Captian Dalton, We will be having Trout Almadine for dinner tonight. We limited on Trout in less than an hour and then got whoop by some great Jacks. There is no better way to spend a morning on 30A.
Paul Johnson5.0VerifiedIncredible Family Time
Half day a.m on August 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenDalton was excellent as a captain and our boys (ages 7 & 9) had a blast! We caught speckled trout, red fish, and jack crevalle along with tons of skip jack and cat fish etc

Anglia DaileyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedPerfect morning Inshore trip
3 hour trip on June 12, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childMy 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!
Christopher Van Horne5.0VerifiedSo much fun with Captain Dalton!
Kids Trip (PM) on May 24, 2023 • 4 adults • 1 childWe booked this trip to make up for my son’s broken arm on vacation, and it did not disappoint! Dalton was personable, patient with our 4 year old has he re-learned fishing with his non-dominant hand, even providing basic instruction on par with a fishing lesson. He made sure we all caught several fish. His highest priority was our good time! He kept active watch on the weather and rescheduled to ensure maximum fishing time as well as safety, even with a huge storm coming in. He was knowledgeable about fishing but down to earth enough to feel like we were fishing with a friend. We can’t recommend him enough, especially if your group has kids!

Our captain was fantastic! Dalton took us to some great locations and we were able to catch some great fish! Can’t wait to come back and ride with him again!
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.
Captain Dalton was great! Very professional , expert fisherman and guide! My son and I had a blast! We were with him for two hours and were able to catch many bait fish and 3 trout that we were able to keep! Highly recommend Dalton for your next fishing trip.
thankyou! look forward to seeing yall agan.
