There's a fish with your name on it in Destin and Catching Memories will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Brian knows them forwards and back.

These waters are known for Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Lane Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Wahoo, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!" On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Brian will bring you aboard a 48' Post sportfishing vessel with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Catching Memories!

Our Family had a blast catching tons of fish
8 Hour Trip - 6:00 AM on August 6, 20262 adults1 child

Family had a blast catching lots of fish. Captain was awesome and deck hand was wonderful, super patient teaching some of the first time fishing Family members how to fish. He was super helpful with my 8 year old who kept catching the tax collectors and getting broke off. Lol overall Family had a blast and we will be back

Awesome Kids Fishing Experience
Kids only trip Trolling only on July 30, 20262 adults2 children

We had a great time with the captain and deckhand on my girls 4 and 6 first time fishing on the ocean. The bed and fan inside came in handy at the end. Will book with them again when back in Destin.

OUTSTANDING COMMUNICATION
6 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on July 15, 20265 adults1 child

We had the unfortunate experience of the boat experiencing engine issues on the morning trip before us. The captain had to cancel our trip that afternoon, but offered to reachedule us for the next day. Brian went above and beyond trying to accomdate us, but we just couldn’t make it work due to us leaving to go home. will try again next year!!

Good trip
6 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on June 20, 20262 adults

We went after a storm had just came through, but the captainwas still able to get us on a lot of fish. Both the captain and deckhand were very help full. This trip would be good for a family looking to get out on the water or experienced anglers wanting to get out. Captain had drinks for us so we didnt have to bring anything besides ourselves.

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Lane Snapper
