Testify Charters

Member since June 2023 Destin, United States
Background
Captain Patrick Riggs and Captain Jacob Goodroe offer exciting offshore fishing charters of varying lengths, perfect for anglers of all levels. Both PJ and Jacob have always dreamed of becoming fishing charter captains, and now that dream has become a reality. Thanks to the perfect timing arranged by the higher powers, they've proudly established Testify Charters in Destin, FL., and get to share their passion with every single group that joins them on board! So, are you ready to embark on a journey that will leave you with incredible stories to tell? Come aboard Testify Charters, and get ready to testify to the power of fishing and the joy it brings!
Techniques
More than likely we will join most of the Destin fishing fleet that is out in catching some live bait before we head too far out of the Destin pass. We then will troll to each spot in search of anything from bonito for fresh bait to some sporty wahoo. Out in the gulf we will bottom drop over natural and manmade reefs including wrecks. Here we will be targeting everything from dinner to a picture you will be proud of. These fish are more that likely, depending on the season, be red snapper, vermillion snapper, porgies, amberjack, trigger fish, and scamp grouper.
