Okaloosa Freshwater Excursions

Running angling trips out of Crestview, Okaloosa Freshwater Excursions invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Dave aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning. You’re looking at 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Pike Perch, Bream, Catfish, Crappie, and Bass, depending on the weather and time of year.

Your adventure begins on board a 16’ Fisher boat that can fit a maximum of 2 anglers. The boat is fitted with an ice box and wireless trolling motor. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

The price of your trip also includes complimentary snacks, drinks, lunch, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests. Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.
