You may qualify for a Loyalty Program discount with Reel Job. To check if you can use a Loyalty Program discount for your selected dates, please sign in.

Spend the day with Reel Job and find out what the fishing in Niceville/Destin is all about! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Heath can tell you all about them.

Depending on the season and weather conditions you might hook into Red Drum, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Cobia, Trigger Fish and anything else that bites. On these trips, you can expect to sight fish, bottom fish and/or troll using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Heath can also take you Flounder gigging, snorkeling, sand bar chilling or boat bar hopping. 

Reel Job welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! 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 to keep up those energy levels!

You'll be welcome aboard a Contender 25 Bay center console with room for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed, just be sure to avoid glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Get in touch with Capt. Heath below and start planning your trip today!

6 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM)

Great captain

VERIFIED
NEW

Fishing on the first day was pretty much non-existent, mother nature was just not having it. Five plus foot seas made for a rough trip but the Captain kept a cool head and still tried to make the best of the trip for us. He was so accommodating, he even planned a separate evening trip to make up for the time lost the previous day, talk about a stand up guy! My family and I would definitely recommend you consider a trip aboard with captain Heath.

Special 4 hour trip for Taylor Harbin

Nighttime Offshore Action!

VERIFIED

Heath Howle went above and beyond to show me a good time. He accommodated me with a night trip offshore even though it wasn’t in his advertised openings. We left a few minutes before 5pm and by 530 we were fishing around a wake board we found floating that had attracted some dolphin fish and his personal favorite to eat: unicorn/filefish. Taught me how to spear them, which was a great new skill. The bite changed dramatically after the sun went down. Every place was cursed with schools of saltwater catfish. I caught six in a row before finally hooking a different species: Ruby red lips. I told him if I ever have a seaworthy boat I’m naming it the Salty Cat. I just name my freshwater Bass Raider Salty Cat, because why not? We had a great conversation talking about his business, common obstacles and misconceptions, as well as getting to know each other on a more personal basis. He was very open to trying new things if I had a suggestion. When we met a school of squid he caught one or two (not easy with just a bait net) for our lines. I was deeply touched that he offered to extend our trip because he wanted every chance of us catching a big red snapper or grouper. I’m still sore and stiff and groggy but it was worth it! A 25’ boat may seem small to be twenty miles offshore but the weather was perfect and I never felt Heath was unsafe or reckless. I’d heartily recommend him to anyone interested in plenty of action as well as some good keepers.

6 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM)

Great fishing experience in spite of challenging weather

VERIFIED

We booked on a 6 hr charter with Heath for Sat but the forecast was thundershowers on both Sat and Sun. Heath was very patient with me as I tried to figure out the best day for us to go. Eventually, we went on Sat afternoon rather than morning. But we still got some weather so Heath took us nearshore to wait out the storm and we caught couple of catfishes. Then we pushed through the weather to try couple of spots for Vermillion Snappers which we caught a lot! We then moved on to another spot and caught several trigger fish but unfortunately not long enough to keep. Regardless, we had a great time with Heath. We saw lots of Dolphins and a turtle as well. All in all a great day out fishing. I highly recommend booking with Heath.

Captin Heath was an amazing person! Had a wonderful personality he is also easy to get along with. My fiancée and my buddy went out while on vacation and he had gave us an amazing experience off shore fishing! Heath knew a lot of great spots, every spot we went too we caught fish. Heath was also a great instructor he had everything we needed! We probably put almost 80-90 fish on the boat. We will most definitely be back again!

3 Hour Trip – Offshore Mingo (PM)

Whole Family had a Blast!

VERIFIED

We had an incredible experience with Heath from Reel Job! After our early afternoon trip was canceled due to rough waters, Heath went out of his way to accommodate us for a late-night inshore fishing trip and we’re so glad he did! He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip fun and memorable, especially for the kids. They caught all kinds of fish, and their excitement was off the charts. We’ll definitely be back for more fishing with Heath. He’s an awesome guide who truly cares about making sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend!
