Definitely talk to charters and locals they have the knowledge to make fishing successful your first time. Didn’t meet anyone that wouldn’t be willing to throw in some advice or answer a question that I might have had

Honestly it depends on the person and their commitment to fishing. We could have easily done the 1/2 day tour, we knew our son wouldn’t make it that long so we booked the 3hr…. Which is closer to shore.

Hard to say what to recommend to folks who actually know what they're doing when it comes to deep sea fishing. None of us had ever gone before, and it was an absolute treat catching whatever was biting, and things were biting as the bait hit the bottom!

It's a great place for the family to vacation. It's laid back, yet tons of stuff to do. Great water parks, Para Sailing, Jet skiing, bright white sand beaches, snorkeling, tour boats and rides, boat rentals and shopping for those who choose not to go on the fishing trip. Sea food places and night life abounds. Don't just fish, experience the Destin !

We would certainly try bottom fishing if we had more time, but trolling got us on a handful of Bonito which are fun to catch.

There are many fish you can't keep in Dec, but those we were able to keep provided plenty of meat and we had to figure how to get them home.

Go out of Destin so you don't have to ride in a boat for for an hour of your four/five hour trip.
