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.

It is pretty hot and late in the summer so it can be a bit difficult to find keeper sized fish of any species. Would wear lots of sun protection and try to find cool species near sunken structure.

Respect the Captain and the boat, goes along way with having a great day on the water. If you think you might be nauseous ask your doctor about getting a Scopolamine patch. They work great. Wear a long sleeve hooded shirt. Very little shade on the boat.

Take a private charter instead of the party boat. So much more relaxing and family oriented

Eat before getting on the boat-you don’t want to miss out on the action. Pay good attention to the instructions for operating the reels/equipment and you’ll land fish. Be generous with tipping: the 1st mate-ours worked hard the entire time to ensure our experience was top tier.
