Book your next trip with Light Tackle Charters and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Okaloosa Island for more. With Captain Jeremy at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Flounder, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Speckled Trout, and more could be biting if you cast your line at the right time of year.
You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Jeremy is happy to have kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 22' Center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Light Tackle Charters!

Jason Lovejoy5.0Verifiedmore than i expected
5 Hour Trip — Bottom Fishing on June 2, 2026 • 4 adultsright out of the gate Captain Jeremy was doing his very best to put us on fish, and boy did he ever. we caught our limits on red grouper,almost our limit on red snapper, one mangrove snapper and had the chance at landing a seven footer shark. We totally enjoyed the whole trip and was truly amazed at how the captain kept the boat on fish and us baited up. if your fishing near okaloosa island look him up, you will not be disappointed. we had a blast and most definitely will be back to go out with captain Jeremy again!
Donovan HarrisonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFound our new favorite fresh fish to eat, Spanish Mackerel! Thanks Capt Jeremy!!
Kids Trip — Catch and Release - 3:30 PM on April 7, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenMy 11 and 9 yr old boys and I went out for an afternoon trip on 4/7/2026 with Captain Jeremy and we had an absolute blast. His original plan for us was going to be too rough due to wind conditions so he pivoted to fishing the bay and what a great decision. The bite started slow but Captain Jeremy kept moving us in the perfect positions for my boys and even myself to catch a few(also lost the biggest CJ had seen in while just short of boat). We landed 15 and had many bites. He also taught us important lesson about "Shoemaker" fish, myself and my 2 boys would have absolutely just grabbed this very dangerous fish, twice...CJ also cleaned and showed us how to properly process the great meat on these mackerel. We took a couple pounds to Anglers restaurant where they cooked a pound fried and cooked a pound blackened for us and we all decided it was in our top 3 fish ever. They even loved the pan seared butter and lemon pepper mackerel I cooked for us. We can't thank Captain Jeremy enough for a great day of fighting the wind and finding the fish for us. We will absolutely go out with Jeremy next time we are in Destin. Highly recommend.
Samantha AvilaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThe Best Fishing Trip
Kids Trip — Catch and Release - 8:00 AM on March 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenJeremy was absolutely incredible on our fishing trip. From the moment we got out on the water, you could tell he really knows what he’s doing. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was having a great time the entire trip. He put us on fish quickly and kept the energy fun and relaxed. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients having a great experience. I would highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for a great day out on the water—we’ll definitely be booking with him again!

5 Hour Trip — Bottom Fishing on June 10, 2026 • 3 adultsBest charter we have done. The captain was nice and extremely knowledgeable. We caught plenty of fish and even hooked into 2 big sharks. Would definitely do this charter again!
Larry Smallwood5.0Verifiedgreat day with Captain Jeremy!
5 Hour Trip — Bottom Fishing - 7:00 AM on April 17, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Jeremy put us on fish almost immediately! We caught lots of mingo snapper, and trigger fish! had to put back lots of red snapper and undersized red grouper. Caught our limit of trigger fish. This trip is best for small groups who want lots of action. Just bring sunscreen and any snacks you may need.

Chris Leumer4.0VerifiedGreat value
Kids Trip — Catch and Release - 8:00 AM on April 7, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain was a nice guy and knew what he was doing. Got us on some smaller Spanish Mackerel early but it was a very windy day so we tried some other spots in wind protected areas and didn’t have any luck.
