Hi, I’m Captain Oscar Amaya, and I would love the opportunity to take you and your family fishing on beautiful Choctawhatchee Bay.

I have spent over 15 years fishing these waters, and one of the things I enjoy most is introducing people to fishing, especially kids and families .

We’ll be fishing aboard a 24-foot bay boat (equipped with a new 250 HP Suzuki motor, Raptor anchors, and a trolling motor), a comfortable and versatile vessel designed specifically for the shallow waters, grass flats, and shorelines of the Bay. The boat provides a smooth, stable ride and plenty of room for families and small groups of up to 5 people to fish comfortably. Its shallow draft allows us to reach productive fishing areas that larger boats simply can’t access, giving you the best opportunity to find fish.

I provide everything you will need for a trip, including quality rods and reels, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, and local knowledge gained from years on the water. Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you should bring your own. All you have to do is show up ready for a good time!

Don’t forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, snacks, sunglasses, and a camera to capture the memories.

If you are visiting Santa Rosa Beach, Miramar Beach, the Sandestin area, the 30A area, or Destin, I would be honored to be part of your vacation. I look forward to welcoming you aboard, sharing my favorite fishing spots, and helping you experience the beauty of Choctawhatchee Bay.

Let’s go make some memories and catch a few fish along the way. Your trip with Reel Red Fishing Charter is just a click away!

Oscar put us on the redfish and trout but they were reluctant to bite. Still caught some fish, saw Dolphins, & Oscar was very friendly.

Oscar was fantastic!
2 Hour – Bay Fishing Trip on July 23, 20264 adults

We had a great time with Captain Oscar! We had two 16yr old boys who both caught several fish and had a great time. Oscar was very attentive and made sure that we had the best chance to catch fish. It was the highlight of our trip.

We went on a 7 a.m. trip, but it was still very warm. Due to the heat, we did not catch many fish, but that was not because of Oscar; he was excellent. We had a great time just being on the water; it was a gorgeous morning. Would definitely recommend!

Oscar was very knowledgeable about the area and took great care of us. He kept the poles baited, recommended changing spots when things slowed down and kept the energy high. The time flew by and the kids loved it.
