Fishing in Niceville

Fishing in Niceville, Florida, is as wholesome and pleasant as the city’s name itself! Located on the northern edge of the plentiful Choctawhatchee Bay, you’ll have the chance to cruise through the scenic Boggy and Rocky Bayous and cast some lines with the locals as you make your way to the hottest fishing grounds.

Thanks to the influence of the nearby freshwater Rocky Creek, these brackish waters offer up the perfect opportunity to hook bait fish such as mullet, as well as more prestigious Spotted Seatrout and Flounder. Then, of course, there’s the bay, which most captains and anglers here see as your ultimate destination. It’s home to a year-round population of even bigger Trout and Flounder, along with monster Redfish!

Niceville is the perfect starting point for fishermen who want a truly authentic bay fishing experience, so why not test your skills by using the most popular techniques here? Spend anywhere from two to eight hours exploring the inshore waters and experience this charming town just like the locals do!

Rules & Regulations

Fishing with a charter in Niceville will mean that you don’t need a license, as your captain will have it covered. Your professional guide will also be abreast of all the latest seasons and restrictions.

I would recommend you go offshore fishing and do a catch and cook if you can. There are many restaurants around that will cook the fish that you catch once they're cleaned. Call around and check out which ones work.

Our first time out in the ocean and it did not disappoint. We caught a big red grouper and a nice red snapper. Had three or four other big snappers on but just couldn't land them. Caught a bunch of keeper vermilion snapper. Had enough fish we took it right into the marina restaurant and had it fresh and it was so good. His mate Landon is a great kid and helped us all so much.
