Fishing in the calm backwaters here in Destin, Florida is super relaxing and you are guaranteed to have a great time. Most of our fishing is in the Choctawhatchee Bay and Intracoastal Waterways.

While bay fishing in Destin, we mostly target redfish or speckled trout, but it’s not uncommon to also target Spanish mackerel, black drum, sheephead, or black snapper.

We fish over grass beds, oyster bars, and around our favorite docks and bridges. We use the best ultra light tackle on the market from Shimano for reliable drag screaming action.

We also sight fish for Bull Redfish during the spring! There is nothing quite like hooking a 30+ lb bull redfish and being face-to-face with such an incredible species. (These are all trophy fish and they are catch and release only!) They definitely make a picture worth a thousand words. Don’t forget to bring the kids. They are the future of our sport. If they get to go, they will learn to love the outdoors. Remember your camera, you never know what you might hook while fishing in Destin, Florida – The Luckiest Fishing Village in the world!

GOODBYE 2016! Thank you for the memories and a great season on the water! Here are some of our most memorable trips from the past year:

Catch and releasing big bull redfish on light tackle one after another, never gets old!

When you enter into a mackerel rally you never know what will happen. This crew left with lots to take home for dinner!

These boys reeled their arms off fighting these Red Snappers and King Mackerel. As they were leaving the dock they said, “That was the best fishing day we have ever had!” That is what its all about!

As we look back at 2016, we want to say THANK YOU to ALL those who fish aboard the Adios and the Amigo here at Destin Inshore Charters. We are very thankful for your time and look forward to taking y’all out again soon! Whether we were catching Red Snappers or Red Fish, we were able to share lots of memories and feed a lot of mouths. It just doesn’t get any better then that! Hope to see everyone back in 2017!!

We also have a custom 40ft Infinity Sport fisherman, complete with air-conditioned cabin, bathroom, TV, fridge, and microwave. All the amenities to keep you comfortable while fishing with us on the beautiful emerald blue waters off the coast Destin, Florida. Destin’s near-shore and offshore fishing takes place in the Gulf of Mexico and is a must when vacationing to Destin. The varieties of Gulf trips we offer are:

• Bottom fishing for Red Snappers, Amberjacks, White Snappers, Vermillion Snappers, Triggerfish, and Groupers.
• Inshore Trolling for King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, and Blackfin Tuna.
• Offshore Trolling for Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Blue Marlins, White Marlins, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Blackfin Tuna.
• Shark Fishing!! Don’t forget to ask about Shark fishing. This is always a hit with the kids!

With the laws the way they are right now the red snapper sizes are abnormal size from years past. The average snapper we catch in close range is from 8-10lbs with a few 15-18lbs fish being caught. We use light tackle for them. Young children can use these rod and reels much easier than heavy conventional tackle. For the more experienced angler to test his or her skills, we also have ultra light tackle that is sure to give anyone a big thrill.

We like to do a lot of chumming to get the fish right up under the boat for some awesome in-your-face bites that you can see!

Whichever type of fishing you would like to do, we can make it happen. A lot of customers like to do a little of both trolling and bottom fishing so they get the best offshore fishing experience!

Don’t forget to bring the kids. They are the future of our sport. If they get to go, they will learn to love the outdoors. Remember your camera, you never know what you might hook while fishing in Destin, Florida – The Luckiest Fishing Village in the world!
