Watch the weather and listen to the captain. Bring a sweatshirt and hat especially for sunset fishing. It cooled off a lot from start to finish.

This would be a great trip for first time anglers in Destin, especially when catching Spanish Mackerel. It was a nice day on the bait, easy to tell when fish are on, and a good fight but quick. Great for kids or novice anglers that want a great day on the water that ends in a tasty meal for the dinner table. After, there are several options for cook and catch at local restaurants for the freshest meal.

Definitely a great idea to go with a guide. Lots of boat traffic out there and there’s lots to learn about local fish, this Captain clearly knows what he is doing.

Fishing in April is excellent. If you want to keep more fish check the seasons and you may want to come later.

I highly enjoyed our fishing trip in beginning of April but I was a little disappointed that we were unable to go out in the gulf due to the water being too rough thus the 4 star rating. Sounds like that is common in Destin around this time of year.

I am by no means a fishing expert but from what Capt. Tanner told us, the weather was still a little cool for Spanish Macarel and other fish to be super active. We caught a good amount of Bonita though and they were fun to real in.

Take the longer trip, the captain will put you on fish and time goes fast when you’re catching fish!

Fish didn’t bite as well in the afternoon as they do in the morning, still caught fish, and was still a great time. Go in the morning if you want a bigger bounty.

March is a bit early if you're wanting bigger fish, but there is plenty of action just right for everyone unless you're a game fishing kind of person - then wait until later in the year. Reel Grace does not have a fighting chair and that's not their objective. Biggest fish they go after (in season) is King Mackerel according to the captain. All in all, a fun, stress free, productive trip.

This was our first fishing trip. Our children are 6, 8, 10, 12. We went on a 3 he fishing trip with Destin Bay Fishing Charters. Capt Keller was incredibly kind and patient, answering the non stop influx of questions from excited kids. He was an expert at finding fish — Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Flounder, and two large trout (4 and 5 lbs). We also caught a stingray. My 8 yr old wanted to go back out again for the rest of the day! A highlight of our trip for the whole family.

The length of this trip is plenty long enough. Make plans to take a nap when you leave the boat.

It seemed March was still early for fishing season so weather/temps played a big part in where we could go and what was biting.
