Fishing Charter Locations on Destin

​Choctawhatchee Bay, often referred to as Destin Bay, is a 130-square-mile brackish estuary located just north of Destin, Florida. This expansive waterbody offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities, making it a prime destination for anglers of all skill levels. The bay's intricate ecosystem includes grassy marshes, flats, oyster beds, and various underwater structures, providing habitats for species such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. Sight fishing is particularly popular here, with anglers using polarized sunglasses to spot fish in the clear waters and casting with precision to land their catch. ​Fishing


In contrast, the Gulf of Mexico off Destin's coast is renowned for its deep-sea fishing adventures. The proximity of Destin to the 100-Fathom Curve—a deep drop-off just 25 miles from shore—allows anglers to access deep waters teeming with a variety of game fish. This unique geographical feature positions Destin as one of the closest ports to these rich fishing grounds, offering opportunities to catch species like Red Snapper, Grouper, and various pelagic fish. The combination of nearshore and offshore fishing options ensures that both novice and experienced anglers can enjoy a successful and rewarding fishing experience in these fertile waters.
