Destin Coast Charters

Heading out……

Great day, great friends, good times

Cool picture of Reel Blessed from our friend Joe.

Still in awe over last weeks sailfish landed by one of our charter guests while bottom fishing for red snapper. What a great fishing memory for both the guests and crew!

Epic day with some Sailfish action!!!!!!

A 6 foot+ Sailfish grabbed the cigar minnow on the free line while bottom fishing. After a great fight, multiple runs and a few jumps we got him leadered next to the boat, rested and swam him off safely to fight another day. Great job by the whole crew, especially on a light wire king mackerel rig! Stay tuned for the video!

Limited out on red snapper, and had a monster mutton snapper over the rail. Some Mingos, a nice mackerel, and a whopping 21 inch trigger (safely released until next season), as well as various other reef fish. Great times had by all.

Beautiful day on the Gulf of America! Our friends from Tennessee limited out on Red Snapper - including a whopper at 35 inches. Great job, Mom! They also caught a nice mixed bag of red and scamp grouper, mingos, black snapper, a stud 18 inch lane snapper, triggers and a giant lion fish to finish it out. Awesome day, Guys.

If you are in town this Thursday May 29th, come check out at the 68th annual Blessing of the Fleet boat parade in Destin Harbor. You'll see us there!

Captain’s Testimony, Worship and Prayer Service begins at 4:00pm and is open to the public, followed by the Fleet Blessing at 5:15pm. After the blessing there will be a fish fry under the tent for all (donations requested). At 9pm there should be fireworks!

The purpose of the event is to bestow well wishes and blessings upon the vessels of those who make their living from the sea. In 2024, more than 158 vessels received blessings at the event.

Beautiful day with an amazing crew. Couldn't ask for better conditions in the Gulf of America. We had a great mixed bag of fish: Red Snappers (the largest being 36"!!!), a 29" Gag Grouper, a 25" Black Snapper, a nice Scamp Grouper, Mingos, Triggers, Jacks, and Bonitas. Great job guys!

Hope everyone else did well today. It was great seeing all 2,000 of you out on the water ;-) !

*ARS, Gag, AJs, etc. all released healthy IAW Federal Permit regulations. We'll be paying those red snappers a visit June 1st when the federal season opens.

Our two brothers from Missouri had a blast today on their 4 hour catch-and-release charter.
We trolled the inlet for a bit then headed near shore to do some bottom fishing. They wanted to bend a few rods and the action didn't disappoint! Species include Red Snapper (the largest being 26 inches!), Vermillion Snapper/Mingo, Triggerfish, Red Grouper, Cobia, Grunt, Spanish Mackerel, and Skipjack Tuna. Great job, Guys!

How big do you think that shark was to eat our 30+ pound Blackfin Tuna nearly whole in a single bite?

What kind of shark do you think it was?

Some days the angler wins, and some days the "taxman" takes his share. That's fishing...
