Captain Joshua Regans grew up fishing the Choctawhatchee Bay and opened up Reel Runners in 2015. Fishing has always been his passion and he knew he wanted to share that with others. Being out on the water every day and seeing the reactions on people's faces when they catch their first fish is what makes everything worthwhile. He wants to make sure every customer has as enjoyable and safe an experience as possible on every trip!

    What a fun trip!

    3 Hour Morning Trip • 3 adults

    I caught a large Mangrove snapper and three stingrays. My sons caught 2 mangrove snappers we kept and 6 or 7 we let go. The captain was a Florida native who knew the waters And was a Gator fan who is our team. I took a chance and we won. We had a great time and met a friend. I highly recommend Captain Josh! This is real! I normally don’t go by reviews.

    “Thank you, Larry! It was a pleasure spending the morning on the water with you and your sons. I’m glad we were able to put some mangrove snapper in the boat and make a few memories along the way. I appreciate the kind words and recommendation. Go Gators, and I hope to fish with you and your family again soon. Tight lines!” 🐟🎣

    We had a great trip with Cap'n Josh. We were primarily targeting Reds...Caught several different inshore species.... able to keep several for a nice big bag of filets. Caught a nice Red within 5 seconds of the very first cast. Cap'n Josh is full service....will keep everyone baited up and even cast for you if you'd like. Plenty of different bait and multiple rod/reel combos available....He will clean and bag your catch for you when you get back to the marina. Cap'n Josh is very pleasant and knowledgable of the area. Plan to circle up with him again in the near future. Thank you.

What's biting with Reel Runners in Destin

Fishing in Destin has to cool down at some point – but not in November! Make the most of the end of the pelagic season, while bay and bottom fishing is still on fire. Fill your boat to fill the freezer for the holidays!
