trip description for Day at the Gym in Destin

This trip starts at the docks in the Harborwalk Village of Destin. Upon arrival you will meet with your captain or one of our associates. If your charter begins at 6am (7am off-season) that is when your charter boat will set off from the docks. Your charter service starts with a cruise through the Destin Harbor and out into the Destin Pass. After reaching the end of the Destin Pass we will set up to begin catching our Live Bait. This usually takes 30 mins (give or take) to catch enough Live Bait to fish with during your fishing trip. After we have enough Live Bait we head out into the Gulf of Mexico to begin catching reef or pelagic fish. It all depends on how the fish are biting that day but we will either stay in one area for the rest of your trip or we will move to another fishing spot. Great Bottom Fishing for, Red Snapper, Vermillion Snappers, Mangrove Snappers, Lane Snappers, White Snappers, Triggerfish, Groupers, and Amberjacks. *Reef fish are seasonal to keep, but we always go for the good eating ones! Tolling for Pelagic Species such, as King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Bonito Tuna. Also, a great Shark Fishing 🦈 charter! After a few hours of fishing (depending on your hourly trip) we will then head back to the docks. This will usually be a 2 hour ride back (depending on your hourly trip) to the harbor. During this time you and your friends can crack open a cold one or relax on the quick trip back to the docks. Immediately after arriving at the docks your captain and crew will clean all your fish for you so you can take your catch with you. You have the option to give your fresh caught fish to most (if not all) restaurants on the Harbor. They will cook up your fish with one of their restaurant dishes for you. You can’t beat this! This is a perfect way to top off the evening from a great time on the water! This boat is Federally Permitted. *Please Note, 8 Hour and 10 Hour charters depart at 6:00am only. You can choose 6 hours at 6:00am or 1pm. Read More

What is triggerfish fishing in Santa Rosa Beach, FL all about?

Triggerfish fishing in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, presents anglers with an opportunity to target these unique and tasty fish in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Triggerfish are known for their distinctive appearance, with a colorful body and a unique trigger-like spine on their dorsal fin. Found around reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures, triggerfish are often encountered in schools as they feed on crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. Anglers in Santa Rosa Beach can enjoy a rewarding fishing experience as they target triggerfish using a variety of techniques.

One effective technique for targeting triggerfish in Santa Rosa Beach is bottom fishing with natural baits such as shrimp, squid, or cut bait. Anglers often target areas with structure such as reefs, ledges, and wrecks, where triggerfish are known to congregate. By presenting their baits near the bottom and allowing them to drift naturally with the current, anglers can entice triggerfish into striking. Triggerfish have a voracious appetite and are known to readily take a variety of baits, making them an accessible target for anglers of all skill levels.

In addition to bottom fishing, anglers can also target triggerfish using vertical jigging techniques. By dropping heavy jigs to the bottom and jigging them vertically along underwater structures, anglers can mimic the movements of prey and attract the attention of triggerfish. This active method of fishing allows anglers to cover a wide area and explore different depths to locate schools of triggerfish. With their strong fighting ability and delicious taste, triggerfish provide anglers in Santa Rosa Beach with an exciting fishing opportunity and the chance to reel in some of the Gulf Coast's most sought-after catches.

What are the most popular months to fish for triggerfish fishing in Santa Rosa Beach, FL?

In Santa Rosa Beach, FL, triggerfish seasons coincide with the state regulations and guidelines set by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Triggerfish can be found in the coastal waters of Santa Rosa Beach throughout the year, but their availability and legal harvesting periods are subject to seasonal restrictions. Typically, triggerfish season in the Gulf of Mexico runs from spring through fall, with specific dates announced annually by the FWC.

Spring and summer are often considered prime seasons for targeting triggerfish in Santa Rosa Beach. During these months, triggerfish are abundant around reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures, where they congregate in search of food. Anglers can capitalize on the warmer water temperatures and favorable weather conditions to target triggerfish using a variety of techniques, including bottom fishing and vertical jigging. As triggerfish are known for their aggressive feeding behavior during these seasons, anglers have a good chance of success when targeting these tasty and hard-fighting fish.

While triggerfish may be present year-round in Santa Rosa Beach, anglers should be aware of the specific regulations governing their harvest and possession. The FWC sets limits on the size, bag limits, and season dates for triggerfish to ensure sustainable fishing practices and conservation of the species. Anglers should consult the latest regulations and adhere to all guidelines to help preserve triggerfish populations and ensure the long-term health of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. By fishing responsibly and respecting seasonal closures, anglers can continue to enjoy the thrill of targeting triggerfish in the beautiful coastal waters of Santa Rosa Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching triggerfish in Santa Rosa Beach, FL?

Triggerfish fishing in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, requires anglers to employ a variety of techniques to successfully target these unique and tasty fish. One effective technique is bottom fishing with natural baits such as shrimp, squid, or cut bait. Anglers often target areas with structure such as reefs, ledges, and wrecks, where triggerfish are known to congregate. By presenting their baits near the bottom and allowing them to drift naturally with the current, anglers can entice triggerfish into striking. Triggerfish have a voracious appetite and are known to readily take a variety of baits, making them an accessible target for anglers of all skill levels.

Vertical jigging is another popular technique for targeting triggerfish in Santa Rosa Beach. By dropping heavy jigs to the bottom and jigging them vertically along underwater structures, anglers can mimic the movements of prey and attract the attention of triggerfish. This active method of fishing allows anglers to cover a wide area and explore different depths to locate schools of triggerfish. Using brightly colored jigs or adding bait to the hooks can further entice triggerfish into striking. Vertical jigging requires patience and finesse, but it can yield rewarding results when targeting these hard-fighting fish.

In addition to bottom fishing and vertical jigging, anglers can also target triggerfish using light tackle and casting techniques. By casting small jigs or soft plastics around structure such as reefs, pilings, and rock piles, anglers can tempt triggerfish into striking. This method allows for a more active approach to fishing and can be particularly effective when targeting triggerfish in shallower waters or around nearshore reefs. Anglers should vary their retrieves and experiment with different lure presentations to determine what triggers the most bites from triggerfish. With their strong fighting ability and delicious taste, triggerfish provide anglers in Santa Rosa Beach with an exciting fishing opportunity and the chance to reel in some of the Gulf Coast's most sought-after catches.

What other species are popular in Santa Rosa Beach, FL?

Aside from triggerfish, Santa Rosa Beach, FL, offers anglers a diverse range of other species to target for an exciting day of fishing. One popular catch in these waters is the red snapper, known for its delicious taste and impressive size. Red snapper are commonly found in offshore waters around reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottoms, where they congregate in large numbers. Anglers often target red snapper using bottom fishing techniques with natural baits such as squid, cut bait, or live baitfish. Additionally, artificial lures such as jigs and soft plastics can also be effective for enticing red snapper into striking. With their powerful runs and strong fighting ability, red snapper provide anglers with an exciting challenge and a rewarding catch in the waters off Santa Rosa Beach.

Another prized species found in the waters of Santa Rosa Beach is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin or dorado. These colorful and acrobatic fish are commonly found in offshore waters, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and rip currents. Anglers often target mahi-mahi by trolling with brightly colored lures or live bait, such as ballyhoo or squid, at varying depths to locate schools of fish. Once hooked, mahi-mahi put up a spirited fight, leaping out of the water and showcasing their vibrant hues, making them a thrilling catch for anglers of all skill levels.

In addition to red snapper and mahi-mahi, Santa Rosa Beach offers opportunities to target a variety of other species, including grouper, king mackerel, cobia, and sailfish. Whether fishing from shore, inshore, or offshore, anglers can enjoy a diverse range of fishing experiences in Santa Rosa Beach, with each species presenting its own unique challenges and rewards. With its rich biodiversity and abundant marine life, Santa Rosa Beach is a haven for anglers seeking adventure and excitement on the pristine waters of the Gulf Coast.

    We fished with Capt'n Blake on the 32 Sportsman. Blake was friendly, energetic and most of all, he was determined to put us on the fish. My 13 year old son and his friend were with us, and Blake was extremely attentive and helpful with the youth anglers. I would highly recommend Capt'n Blake, and Captain Experiences, and I would book this same exact trip again if given the opportunity. Tight lines!

  • ★★★★★
    Highly Recommend!! Great experience for us with Captain and Mate Danny. They got us on fish the whole trip and there was never a time when one of our group wasn’t yelling fish on and sometimes with multiple fish on. Mate Danny was a legit machine preparing the rugs, removing fish and baiting hooks. Our fishing group of 3 was able to have a great Fish Taco Tuesday with our house group of 16 with all the fillets that they prepared for us. A fantastic experience for my teenage boys and myself. This crew left an everlasting experience with our family. And the fish tacos I prepared were almost as close to legendary as the fishing trip. FISH ON!
