Rise and shine! It is fishing time!
5hr on 35'contender for 6 customers on April 9, 2026 • 1 adult
Great experience with Capt Mike! We got on the water early. The water was pretty choppy first thing and calmed down by noon. I let
the rest of the family sleep in; otherwise, we would had a bunch of sea sick kids. We didn’t have any luck catching some early morning black fin. We caught several bonitas. We moved to bottom fishing about ten miles out. Capt Mike put me on fish right away. We brought home some nice grouper, a triggerfish, and snapper. I would absolutely recommend Capt Mike for your next fishing experience.

Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) on March 25, 2026 • 4 adults
Captain Mike was incredible! He worked quick to put us in fish and we succeeded! We caught roughly 100 fish in about 4 hours of fishing including snapper and grouper. Captain Mike and his knowledge were awesome as he truly cares that you have a great experience! I'd recommend this trip for anyone, as I believe Captain Mike is the best for the Destin area!

Excellent Fishing Experience
3/4 Day Trip nearshore-offshore on July 23, 2025 • 4 adults
My family and I had an exceptional private fishing charter with Captain Mike Avinon this week. His professionalism, friendly demeanor, and deep knowledge of the Gulf were evident from the start. Captain Mike is a true expert at finding fish, making our trip both successful and enjoyable. This was, without a doubt, the best Gulf fishing charter I have ever taken. We will be using his services again and can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you for a fantastic day, Mike!

Captain Mike knows what he’s doing. He had me on fish from the moment we started to then last cast. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a charter.
