OK, where do I start these guys on the trip Captain Matthew and his son are wonderful down to earth people. This was my wife and I second deep sea fishing trip and my auntโs very first time, so of course she was a bit nervous. They were so great and made our experience so memorable and made sure that we all had the best time! We also trolled on the way out to go bottom fishing, which was awesome to be able to do both!
We booked a 5 hour evening trip and we caught some nice fish. (Red snappers, Mingo snapper, trigger fish, and Bonitos) A few we had to throw back because they were too small, but even on a hot day, we caught quite a few. The captain did a great job of taking us around to different spots to catch them whenever the bites started slowing down. We still ended catching more than a lot of the others that went out that day, so that was great! The boat was very nice and clean even after their morning trip. A nice smooth ride the whole time, and you can not forget about the great air conditioning on a hot day!
So, yes, seeing dolphins out on the water is nothing less than beautiful, of course, but while fishing, itโs not so great. Captain Matt did a great job of running away from them when they started trying to take our fish. Although I will say that one grabbed my red snapper for a while and put up one heck of a fight, great news I still got the fish!
Last but definitely least, after our 5 hours came to an end, the captain got a call about a huge whale shark in the area.ย He asked us if we would like to go see it and we said of course. Seeing a creature of that size was just absolutely awesome, and also rare around Destin he said thatโs the second one theyโve seen in about 7 or 8 years.ย We have plenty of pictures and videos of these memories.
So, if youโre looking for a charter in the Destin area, I highly highly recommend Vengeance Charters. You will not regret it!
