What's biting in Destin

As the crowds start to die down, there's no sign of the fishing going anywhere. The weather is still warm, so you should take advantage of this time of year, when Tuna and Sailfish come close to shore.

Half of our crew had never been, and it was a great option for those who had never been out and for those who had been out many times. Got several great pictures in the captain's area and explained to others who were interested in the running of the boat. Not to mention we had two great deckhands.

great trip
wake up, mangrove snapper, and we caught some red snapper Spanish mackerel hooked into a couple big groupers, but could not land them. Captain worked really hard to get us on fish, but the bite was a little bit slow today, but that’s OK that’s part of fishing, but we did catch a pretty good bit of fish. Had a great time. The captain was great.

Epic Experience
First time deep sea for our whole family and it was incredible. our first mate was Spencer. We had children ages 5 and 7 and he was so helpful and kind. Picked up on names quickly and made sure that we didn’t have to wait for anything. They seem knowledgeable about the area! We ended up with lots of fish to eat! We highly recommend Ken and Spencer!!
