Inshore Fishing in Destin
Hit the shallow waters in Destin, Florida, and you’ll see why it’s earned the nickname the “Luckiest Fishing Village in the World”. Whenever you visit this section of the Panhandle, there’ll be plenty of Destin inshore fishing charters waiting to take you off to the Choctawhatchee Bay and its flats and backcountry waters.
Year-round staples of the local fishing menu include Redfish and Speckled Trout. They grow to impressive sizes come fall and winter, so you’ll be up for a warming battle if you come out of season. These stars of the show are joined by an impressive supporting cast, too. Black Drum show up in winter, along with Flounder, too.
Come spring, and Mackerel make their way to the waters around the inlet, before Tarpon steal the show in summer. These prehistoric beasts will leap out of the water to try to get off the end of your line, so get ready to test your skills and strength to the max. With Jacks, Sheepshead, Pompano, Sharks, and many more fish visiting throughout the year, there’s never a bad time to come!
Trips range from a few hours on the water to the whole day. The good news is that the honey holes are just a few miles out from the marina, so you won’t waste any time before getting your fish on. We suggest half day trips for families and beginners, with longer Destin inshore fishing charters reserved for more experienced anglers.

Need plenty of time to get to the fishing waters. Book a longer trip if possible.

Donโt forget that what you catch can be your dinner. Several restaurants near the harbor, such as Dewey Destinโs, can prepare your fish any way you like with all the sides.
DELICIOUS!
I recommend bronzed or blackened.
Thanks for the memories.

I Would have liked to wait one more week, so bull red snapper would have been in season.

Great for spring bottom fishing. Just B cause fishing with captain ken was really great. If first time fishing itโs a really great start specially for younger kids giving the the thrill but still being able to pull the fish in by themselves.

Fishing in Destin is great. If you get with a good outfit, you're guaranteed to catch fish. However, if you want to keep the fish you catch, you need to check the seasons for your targeted fish and plan accordingly. The seasons for many of Florida's game fish are pretty short. Booking a trip and catching a bunch of amazing fish you can't keep can be frustrating. But, all in all, great place to fish!

Great fishing. Just check to make sure Red Snapper or Grouper are in season if you want more meat to bring home.

Sunscreen, motion sickness meds if needed.
Other than that take the advise of your captain and have a great experience on the beautiful waters of the gulf.

Al -Lin is a good choice. Mighty fine or 100 proof would be a good choice as well. Son and Daughter of Captain Harold.

May is great time because the weather is great and it is much less crowded than later in the year. Fishing Booker was big help in selecting a charter and scheduling the trip?

I am not an experienced salt water fisherman, in fact it had been 14 years since the last time. Being from Michigan my fishing is all fresh water. If you are in a similar position, I would recommend a 4 hour trip. That way you get a taste, and some education, and will know better what you want to do next.

Pack a bag with some snacks, have the appropriate clothing on so you can stay cool and not get burned. Also, wear a patch if you are prone to getting sea sick.

I would recommend a private fishing charter on the bay for first timers. Itโs relaxed, more personable, and sure to be a great time

Some grouper and snapper were closed but still very fun to catch and release, same with the sharks. Fight quality fish till your arms fall off then hit a spot for some smaller but very tasty fish to fill the cooler
