Background
Destin's Ultimate Guide Service is a local company in Destin, Florida. It is operated by Captain JJ Botelho and Captain Adam Schroeder, who are both experts in fishing the local waters. Nothing makes their day more than taking others fishing, especially the kids, and watching their excitement when the bite happens and the fight is on!
Techniques
I enjoy fishing in almost every way possible! My favorite ways to fish are sight fishing, fly lining live baits, and believe it or not... spear fishing!

Early April Sheepshead bite is on fire! The Sheepshead are in the middle of their spawn, and now is the time to get em!! Most of the fish are being found near the pass and they are eating the place down! Shrimp, fiddler crabs, sandfleas, and oysters will definitely do the trick! This has been one of the best sheepshead runs Iโ€™ve seen in my entire life living here! On 12 lb test they fight as good as any fish their size, and they taste as great as they are to catch! Bay fishing in the bayous has still been somewhat slow due to all the flooding we continue to have. We have been catching a few pompano, trout, redfish but they havenโ€™t seemed to cut loose quote yet. Gulf fishing is also great. Lots of trigger fish, spanish mackeral, red snappers, cobias, and a few king mackeral and Amberjack here and there. Sharks also seem to be making an appearance near the beach as they usually do during our cobia migration period. So far itโ€™s been a great start to our season, and as the water warms itโ€™s only going to get better! Book your trip today!

Snapper season is on and they are fired up! Kings are savage, and were still bumping into a few Cobia every now and then! Fishing has been great! Had a bay trip 2 days ago as well, and the redfish and speckled trout are makin there way to the flats and biting great as well! Nows the time to enjoy the beautiful Gulf Coast, and get some fish in the freezer! Reserve your trip today!

The water is warmed up the bait is here which means the fish are too! In the gulf Cobia season is winding down but the king mackerels are fired up, as well as the amberjack, mingo snappers, triggerfish, and groupers. Red snapper season opens up on memorial day weekend. We will have 70 days to fish red snapper this season so make sure to reserve your trip early so you don't miss out on the action! The bay bite has been good we've been using shrimp and Minhaden to catch lots of trout, redfish, black drum, sheepshead, spanish mackeral as well as lots of lady fish and bluefish! Some of the Gulf Coast's best fishing is in the month of May so drop what you're doing and come fishing! Book your trip today!
