Local Fishing Insights
Destin's unique geography creates diverse fishing opportunities within a short boat ride from the harbor. The nearshore artificial reefs hold snapper, grouper, and triggerfish, while the deeper waters of the Gulf offer chances at larger pelagic species. Water temperatures and seasonal migrations dictate which species are most active, with spring and fall typically providing the most consistent action. Captain Burnette adjusts techniques and locations based on current conditions, weather patterns, and target species preferences. The area's white sand bottom and clear water make it ideal for both bottom fishing and sight fishing opportunities.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters depart from Destin Harbor with easy parking and convenient access to the boat. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before departure time for a brief safety orientation and equipment overview. The boat is equipped with safety gear, GPS navigation, and fish-finding electronics. Bring sunscreen, snacks, and beverages for your comfort during the trip. We provide all fishing equipment, but you're welcome to bring personal gear if preferred. After the trip, we'll clean your catch and provide recommendations for local restaurants that will cook your fish.
