What better way to explore the “Luckiest Fishing Village in the World” than with a local guide? Just Reel’s Captain Josh Glidden was born and raised in Destin. An avid angler, he says he’s living the dream, doing what he loves for a living. The only thing that makes the job better is seeing customers smile! He invites you aboard to explore the range of productive fishing grounds that the Panhandle has to offer.

From deeper water up to 9 miles offshore, you’ll explore them all aboard a 23’ Parker center console. A versatile vessel, she’s comfortable on all kinds of water. There’s plenty of space on board for up to 6 guests, while 4 people can fish at the same time. Take advantage of the onboard ice box to keep your catch fresh, but make sure to bring a cooler full of drinks and snacks to make the most of your trip.

You’ll start by filling up the livewell with some bait. On longer trips you’ll head up to 9 miles offshore.

Offshore, you’ll fish the productive reefs and wrecks out in the Gulf. These fishing grounds are famed as they’re a favorite haunt of plenty of beautiful, tasty fish to hang out. Get ready for a hands-on experience as you bottom fish with mainly Penn gear. Go after Snappers, Groupers, Triggerfish, and plenty more to fill up the boat.

When you head back to shore, the captain will clean and fillet your catch, so you’re all set for a tasty treat later that evening. Capt. Josh welcomes anglers of all ages and abilities aboard, so bring the whole family for a memorable fishing experience. Let Just Reel show you why Destin has earned its prestigious title. Get out on the water and don’t look back!
