Background
I've fished the Emerald Coast for many years and still get excited every time I go out and nothing gets me more exicted than putting you on the fish. If we're bottom fishing or just cruising the coast trolling and watching dolphins, you will have a great time with High Flying Saltwater Charters.
Techniques
I mostly bottom fish and do a little slow trolling, free lining and some jigging. The trips are out to 9 miles off Destin for snapper, grouper, triggerfish, amberjack and makeral. We will discuss what you want to do prior to the trip and I'll have everything ready when you show up.
