    Fishing Rodeo Leader Boards!

    My Chance Charters took my three sons their grandfather's and myself out for a four hour fishing charter and absolutely crushed it. They put us on the fish and the boys were reeling in some amazing stuff. With the Destin Fishing Rodeo going on the boys' catches made the leader boards! Capt. Mike was great and the deckhand Eric kept our lines wet. Overall we had an amazing time and would 100% book with them again.

    Fantastic & Lots Of Fish

    Excellent all the way around. The crew was great and very nice. We caught a ton of fish and the kids in our group had a blast. We have used other crews from different outfitters and didn’t have the same experience. We will absolutely be coming back!

Red Snapper fishing is a favorite for anglers who love hard fights and great table fare. Red Snapper are bright, strong, and live around reefs and wrecks. They hit with confidence and pull hard, making every hookup exciting.

The most common way to catch them is bottom fishing, which means dropping bait to the seafloor. Squid, cut bait, and live bait all work well. Jigs also produce when you keep them near the bottom and move them slowly. Medium to heavy tackle helps you turn big fish away from structure.

Expect steady action once you find a school. Trips may target nearshore reefs or head farther offshore to deeper structure. This is a great choice for families, first-timers, and seasoned anglers alike. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and non-slip shoes. Pack snacks and water, and plan for some arm workouts when the bite turns on.

Rules for Red Snapper can change by area. Before you go, check local fishing license and permit needs. Review season dates, as well as size and bag limits for harvest. Captains often keep up with current rules, but you are responsible for knowing them. When in doubt, ask ahead and stay within regulations.
