Background
I am Captain Cameron Parkhurst, an Animal Science Major from the University of Florida as well as a Scuba Instructor. I'm 30 plus years local to the area. My marine science background and knowledge of how fish position themselves in various habitat (from seeing them underwater) really helps to add layers of knowledge to my group's fishing experience. I've held a boat captain's license since 1997 and also am first aid/CPR trained.
Techniques
Live baiting, trolling, bottom fishing. Whatever it takes to get the bite!

Stayed inshore with our crew for today and left the Spanish biting this AM. Could have kept our limit, but they only wanted one dinner. Caught some mangroves and redfishโ€ฆdidnโ€™t take many pictures as the wind was cranking out of the SW and there was intermittent sea fog in the area today. We covered some ground, caught fish and had a good time!

We had a party of three wanting a little meat for the freezer, so headed south to some rocky bottom. Red Snapper were prevalent (out of season and released), but the Triggerfish and Mingo Snapper came home for dinner. Was fun fishing with lighter tackle and fish pulling throughout the trip!

Afternoon Bay Trip
Afternoon Bay Trip
Mar 23, 2023 Shalimar
We left the marina and cruised around Destin, locating birds and fish working bait on the flats north of Destin Bridge. There were a lot of ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, and some Jacks marauding the flats. We got our limit of Spanish to eat for dinner and had other releases. Was a fun short afternoon and we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the water!
