Logan SumnerGeorgia, US•Member since 20264.7VerifiedGreat experience
6 Hour AM Trip- Offshore Fishing • 2 adultsMe and the wife wanted to try something different then a party boat this go around. The captain and first mate did amazing job giving us a great first private charter experience, with the only thing taking away from the trip was it was hard to find the fish that day. Was just not our day and can happen. Luckily we found them near the end of the trip and couldnt keep bait in the water. Id recommend going with a 6hr trip or more cause on a good day your tearing them up for most of the day and on a bad one it might just make the difference of catching nothing or making it to that next spot and loading up on as many as you can. Id come back for sure.

Response from CaptainThank you so much for the thoughtful review, Logan! We really appreciate you and your wife choosing Mainline Fishing Charters for your first private charter experience. While every day on the water is different and the fish don’t always cooperate, we’re glad we were able to find them before the trip was over and finish strong. Thanks for pointing out that longer trips can make all the difference—they definitely give us more opportunities to stay on the fish or find the next productive spot. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to having you both back on board for another great day on the water! 🎣

6 Hour PM — Golden Hour Bite • 6 adults • 1 childCaptain Jason and Dawson were awesome all day! Easy going, attentive, and made sure to keep us on the fish all trip. The kids and adults all had a great time. We caught probably 40+ fish total and took home 19 keepers! We could’ve fished a little longer and probably caught some more but the young ones got wore out.

What's biting with Mainline Fishing Charters in Destin
As the crowds start to die down, there's no sign of the fishing going anywhere. The weather is still warm, so you should take advantage of this time of year, when Tuna and Sailfish come close to shore.
