Reel Bloods
Book your next trip with Reel Bloods Fishing Charter and find out what makes the fishing in Destin the luckiest fishing Village.
(We have a state license so we have to fish state waters if your used to a federally permitted boat its not that trip.)
The Gulf of America is known for Amberjack, Cobia, Flounder, Mahi Mahi, Goliath Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish.
You’ll be dropping lines from a 37’ Boston Whaler 370 Outrage. All equipment and everything else you need for a productive day on the water is provided. There’s a Restroom on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Trips are ran with the help of a First Mate. Mates work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 20% tip.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It’s always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

4 Hour Trolling/Bottom Fishing
Spectacular fishing trip!
We had a fantastic family fishing trip with “Reel Bloods” Ryan and Amanda are the Hostess with the mostest! They welcomed us and we had such a great time. My daughter-in-law caught the largest fish, a 32-inch king mackerel. Captain Ryan was patient and knowledgeable, answering all our questions. The trip was relaxing and fun, and we even brought our 3.5-year-old grandson on his first fishing trip. The charter was awesome , fun filled and super clean, book the trip it was worth it 💯! We're already planning our next trip! We highly recommend Reel Bloods! -Salaiz Family

6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom Fish
Great Captain and first mate. Boat was in excellent condition.
I do Lake Erie Charters every year. The difference with our Captain's there over the last 30 years is if they don't have a charter later in the day they will stay out on the Lake to get you your limit. They do not strictly keep it to a 4,5 or 6 hour Charter and have you back to the dock in that time frame unless you have limited out. They go the extra to get you fish. Captain Ryan is a great captain. I would use him again.

4 Hour Trolling/Bottom Fishing
Everyone caught multiple fish!
We were complete ocean fishing rookies and Ryan and crew made us all feel like pros by the end! Our family of 5 each caught multiple fish and had a blast. The boat is gorgeous! Ryan was very knowledgeabled and knew exactly where to go based on our requests. We learned a lot on our 4 hour trip and felt like we were in good hands throughout.

Our second trip with Reel Bloods
We did the same trip last fall it had such a great time we decided to go with Capt. Ryan again, the boat is awesome. Always super clean. Ryan and the crew are so friendly. We’ve been on a couple other boats and this is definitely our favorite by far if you’re thinking about it, choose them! Our kids love them also.

4 Hour Trolling/Bottom Fishing
Fun Fishing Trip
We caught a bunch of Spanish Mackerel and a 32” King Mackerel. Took the filets to Brotula’s after and had an awesome dinner. We trolled most of the time and want to incorporate more live bait and casting on the next run. Highly recommend Reel Bloods Fishing Charter 👍
