On the day of your trip you're likely to using light tackle.
Capt. Scott believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Capt. Scott has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Experienced Captain who will do anything he can to put you on fish! Very good teacher who will tell and visually show you techniques and tricks. Would recommend to anyone! He will do anything you need to keep you comfortable and will ask and give you choices on species to target. He knows the area and can tell you all about it. I would book this trip anytime im in the area. Nice clean boat. Premium Equipment. Great Captain. Easy going never felt awkward.

Great morning with Captain Chandler on West Bay. Got into some nice trout, even though the tide was way low. We had a great time and look forward to the next!
I recommend Captain Scotty. It was a great fishing experience. Me and my wife had a great time we caught trout and redfish. Captain Scotty was great. We all connected pretty much immediately the trip was for me and my wife. We are on our honeymoon nope just go and have a good time 
Thanks Joseph! you and Amy were fun to fish with congratulations on your marriage!, may God bless you both!
The bay was very choppy due to the wind, so Scott recommended going up the intercoastal waterway where it was calmer. I'd never done that and it was quite a pleasant surprise. We fished miles of the bank going towards Destin. I look forward to doing this again in the Fall when I return.
I had a great time as well, Steve was laid back, but ready for anything fishing!

I grew up on the Gulf Coast fishing with my dad and developed a love for fishing early in life. I'm a father of 5, grandfather of 4, country boy, ex-marine, happy most of the time, good-natured, laid back. I enjoy taking people fishing, teaching them how to be better anglers, and sharing experiences and interesting stories. I work hard to accommodate and please every customer.
