Background
Captain since 1986, I have been running SCUBA and fishing charters continuously since that time. I have been a Scuba diving instructor since 1985, I don't teach anymore, but still dive when I am not fishing! I absolutely love the marine life of the seas, I'm still fascinated by the diversity of it as well. My degree is in Biology so I naturally am drawn to the salt water and all its critters which reside and swim there.
Techniques
At Double Time Charters we prefer using light tackle, often with live bait, for the most fun and fight while fishing. Trolling and bottom fishing are the most popular methods we use, but sight fishing when available is also utilized, either in Cobia season, or anytime the opportunity presents itself during the summer, such as when we find large Sargassum (seaweed) rafts floating, as there are always lots of fish activity around and below the rafts..

5 Hour Mingo Smash!
5 Hour Mingo Smash!
Mar 20, 2024 Destin
Longtime customer Steve Orlando and buddy Brian came out on the mighty Double Time for a 5 hour charter to hopefully catch some lunch and dinner and were not disappointed! We started out trolling for Spanish Mackerel and caught 4 in about 10 minutes and then we headed out into the Gulf for some bottom fishing. Very slow start as it was dead bottom of the tide and we were only catching Ruby Lips but then the bite picked up and we started getting the Mingos (Vermilion Snapper) to bite. We ended up with 21 Vermiions, 4 Spanish and a Chocolate Porgy, more than enough for their lunch and dinner AND a huge plate of fish for me, all of which Brotula's Restaurant cooked up for them! We also caught and released a few Red Snappers just for good measure!

Brothers Lance and Chad braved the 5 foot or bigger seas in search of a seafood dinner and came back successful! Many boats would not go out due to the rough seas but I felt that after negotiating the pass that they would be alright. Andโ€ฆ they were! We had to pick through a lot of small Trigerfish and a slow bite due to the full moon, but caught a mess to cook for dinner. Hopefully the bite will improve after this giant moon!

The trolling bite inshore was slow, same for everyone I spoke with. We caught a nice Spanish Mackerel trolling, and a second one was eaten by a dolphin right behind the boat so we headed offshore to bottom fish. The Vermilion Snappers were a nice grade and we also caught some White Snappers as well. Of course we caught a bunch of Ruby Lips and a few Triggerfish as usual, but we also caught a nice King Mackerel and a Bonito fly-lining while bottom fishing! All in all a great trip!

Anglers fishing last week aboard the Double Time had their arms stretched as we got in to some nice Amberjacks! Locally also known as "Reef Donkeys" for their ultra-strong pull, even the throwback size ones are a great fight. We can target these superb fighters on the longer trips such as 6 hours of more when the weather allows us to get offshore. You won't forget the fight, and thanks Jordan!
