Captain Tanner Kilpatrick has been fishing the waters in this area for a long time and can work the trip around what you prefer to do or catch.

Your trip starts on a 22’ Pro Sport center console that can sit up to 4 anglers. It runs on a twin 115 HP Yamaha engine with a maximum cruising speed of 41 knots. The onboard navigation system is comprised of modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology. The boat also features downriggers, a livewell, and an ice-box.

Fort Walton Beach nearshore and offshore waters along with their reefs and wrecks offer you a wide choice of fish to catch. You can go after Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, Grouper, Triggerfish, and many more. You can use many different techniques to catch them as well. Using light or heavy tackle, you can bottom fish, deep sea fish, troll, spin, as well as drift fish. Unless you wish to release it, all the fish you catch is yours to keep and take home. The young ones are welcome to join on board, so feel free to bring children on your trip.

When it comes to the things you’ll need for the trip, you’re covered for all the fishing gear, bait, licenses, drinks, and even catch cleaning. This means you’ll only need to pack some food before you depart.

    The Red Snapper season has begun! Our morning trip kicks off with light tackle jigging for baitfish. Once we've got bait, we'll set course for the offshore wrecks and reefs near Destin's inlet, home to various Snapper species. There you will fish baits near the bottom with the main focus on catching Red Snapper. The highlight of this trip is not just the thrill of catching these stunning, spirited fish, but also the convenience of having your catch cleaned and ready for you to take home afterward!
