What anglers said about fishing in Destin

Sunscreen, sunshirts, hot & Humid weather clothes, water, Gatorade, sunglasses, hat, cold water bottles and face sunscreen for those sensitive to burn. Backpack or cold storage bag is enough. There’s no bathroom on the boat so prepare for that too. If you’re really ambitious then bring a cooler in your car with ice should you go deep Sea fishing and want to keep fillets. Definitely bring your own phone or camera too.

Sandals were fine for footwear, pack plenty of water and some snacks. Polarized sunglasses and fishing shirts made a big difference. The boat had plenty of room for a personal cooler and backpack

The only downside to fishing Destin in August are the off limit fish (red snapper, amberjack, some grouper species).

Seems like the bite is very day to day. We had wierd weather, very cool and rainy for August, and I can’t imagine that it didn’t affect the fishing success.

First timers should try to get a bigger boat for smoother ride, and an experienced captain and first mate is a must.

I’ve been on numerous different trips out of Destin over the years. And to truly get the most out of what fishing in Destin has to offer, if you’re wanting to go offshore, do the 6 or 8 hour trips rather than just the 4 hour. It’s worth it.

Be prepared for the heat. We always freeze several bottles of water and bring extra thawed bottles. The frozen ones will help keep your food/snacks cold, and will eventually thaw if needed to drink.
