Fresh Okaloosa County Fishing Reports

Bring plenty of sunscreen, food, and drinks. Wear the appropriate clothes and have hats/sunglasses

Need plenty of time to get to the fishing waters. Book a longer trip if possible.

It was absolutely a great experience. Fishing in the early morning might be a better idea and don't expect that you will find the type of fishes you want. Availability are varies and it's always a surprise on what you will reel in. As first timer, just be patience if you haven't able to catch anything on the first try

It’s just a short drive from Destin. It takes about 30 minutes from the Destin beaches but is worth the drive.

Don’t forget that what you catch can be your dinner. Several restaurants near the harbor, such as Dewey Destin’s, can prepare your fish any way you like with all the sides. DELICIOUS! I recommend bronzed or blackened. Thanks for the memories.

I Would have liked to wait one more week, so bull red snapper would have been in season. June 1st.

Fish with Capt Dean and Billy on the Seahorse. You will have the best time!!!

A great 3 hour trip our whole family enjoyed. I highflying recommend this fishing experience with Last Cast Fishing Charters!

Great for spring bottom fishing. Just B cause fishing with captain ken was really great. If first time fishing it’s a really great start specially for younger kids giving the the thrill but still being able to pull the fish in by themselves.

3-4 hour trip is long enough . Go in the morning or early as possible is other recommendation.

Fishing in Destin is great. If you get with a good outfit, you're guaranteed to catch fish. However, if you want to keep the fish you catch, you need to check the seasons for your targeted fish and plan accordingly. The seasons for many of Florida's game fish are pretty short. Booking a trip and catching a bunch of amazing fish you can't keep can be frustrating. But, all in all, great place to fish!

Great fishing. Just check to make sure Red Snapper or Grouper are in season if you want more meat to bring home.

Book with Wes! Able to conform to the group’s needs regardless of skill level.

Sunscreen, motion sickness meds if needed. Other than that take the advise of your captain and have a great experience on the beautiful waters of the gulf.

Al -Lin is a good choice. Mighty fine or 100 proof would be a good choice as well. Son and Daughter of Captain Harold.

May is great time because the weather is great and it is much less crowded than later in the year. Fishing Booker was big help in selecting a charter and scheduling the trip?

Take a guided trip your first time. The guides are full of knowledge you can use in the future.

I am not an experienced salt water fisherman, in fact it had been 14 years since the last time. Being from Michigan my fishing is all fresh water. If you are in a similar position, I would recommend a 4 hour trip. That way you get a taste, and some education, and will know better what you want to do next.

Tell the captain what you and your group are looking to do and they seem to accommodate

Pack a bag with some snacks, have the appropriate clothing on so you can stay cool and not get burned. Also, wear a patch if you are prone to getting sea sick.
