Kayak Fishing Destin
+11If you want to get up close and personal with the finest fish species Panama City has to offer, you have found the right place. Join Dave Posey and enjoy fishing from your very own kayak!
Sigh the inshore waters, coastal dune saltwater lakes, creeks, bays, and inlets. Get your hands on Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, and even Cobia.
Try your hand at light tackle fishing, spinning, jigging, and fly fishing. Take in all the beauty of the surrounding waters, spots many species of birds and watch dolphins playing in the water.
Every trip is tailored to your wishes and the fishing conditions. Your guide will check the tides, the bite, and the weather to make sure you have a successful day on the water.
You will be fishing from a comfortable 13’ kayak by Native Watercraft, Jackson Kayak, or Old Town. A kayak with a motor for disabled anglers is also available along with a ‘tandem’ one if you are fishing with a child – just let your guide know before the trip.
You will be provided with rods, reels, tackle, lures, and a complimentary fish cleaning service if you decide to keep your catch. Licenses, drinks, and food is something you will need to bring with you.

Half Day Trip (1-2 MAX) on June 29, 2025
After a scheduling issue with fishing booked the guide reached out and was able to get me rescheduled while I was still in town. Caught lots of fish and a couple that were once in a lifetime catch. Would recommend to anyone.

Half Day Trip (1-2 MAX) on June 29, 2018
I had originally booked an afternoon trip with Captain Dave from 4:00-8:00 p.m. however, as we were about to launch the Florida weather of thunderstorms came rolling in. I was quite disappointed as I had really wanted to try kayak fishing. Captain Dave recommended that we could still fish but instead do a night time trip. I am glad the afternoon trip had to rescheduled as the night time trip was great. What an experience. The weather was awesome (much cooler than the normal blistering June temperatures) and we hit the fish. We fished around the lights that home owners have by their docks and caught a few sea trout and probably a dozen red fish It was quite the experience to see the fish swimming around the lights and know the fight might be on at any moment. We ended up fishing from 8:00 pm. until just before midnight. I certainly appreciated Captain Dave's willingness to adjust to get me on the water. He definitely knows the area well and will help you to have a great experience. I would highly recommend taking a kayak trip with the Kayak Fishing Destin group. I would also consider a night time trip as you won't regret it.

Half Day Trip (1-2 MAX) on July 3, 2018
Trip was excellent and relaxing. Captain was excellent put us in spots to catch but bite was slow. I always say that's why it's called fishing. Had a great time look forward to next trip.
