    Got exactly what I was looking for.

    3 Hour Trip • 1 adult

    Visiting Fl with my wife. Was looking for a charter to do by myself. Capt. Dave gave me what I was looking to do. Caught some snapper to start to morning out. Wanted some fish for tacos. Then we headed for some Red Fish.. Took 1 cast to get a nice fish in the boat. Caught a few more then went to try a find some Spanish Mackerel. Didn’t catch any of those but caught a lot of other fish we threw back. Kept me on fish the whole time. Perfect day for what I wanted to do.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Mangrove Snapper

What's biting with Emerald Coast Bay Charters, LLC in Destin

As the crowds start to die down, there's no sign of the fishing going anywhere. The weather is still warm, so you should take advantage of this time of year, when Tuna and Sailfish come close to shore.
