Double D Fishing Charters of NW Florida, LLC

Member since July 2024 Gulf Breeze, United States
Background
We are Paul and Eric Douglass, a father and son team operating as a 2 person crew, ensuring our customers have the maximum opportunity to catch fish by making sure lines spend more time in the water and less time in the boat. We started our fishing journey in the lakes of East Texas and the Texas Gulf. We moved to Florida in 2020 for the unmatched fishing opportunities offered by the Sunshine State where we continue to dial in the seasonal patters, study the migratory movements of game fish and learn what’s required to catch fish in the Florida Panhandle. Eric, an avid fly fisherman, got his first fly rod at 8 yrs old and started out fishing for anything that would bite in Texas golf course ponds, local lakes and streams. He’s continually upped his fly fishing game and now targets among other species, Reds, Trout, Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish in the Pensacola area. Paul started chasing fish as more than a hobby in 2004 with his first power-boat purchase. Paul has fished in every state along the Gulf and the waters of the Great Lakes, Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, the finest lakes in Texas and now the inland, intercoastal, near coastal and offshore waters from Destin to the Florida/Alabama border (to name a few). We love to share our passion with all who join us whether they be first time fishermen or seasoned salts. Come join us on the water here on the beautiful Emerald Coast. Captains Paul and Eric
Techniques
Techniques are species dependent but we generally bottom fish with cut or live bait, fish the middle of the water column with live bait and run a free line with live bait while everyone is fishing. If the fish are very active we will throw artificial lures for Jacks, Mahi and Bonita.
