Destin, Florida has many reasons to make it your next vacation spot, but if fishing is your sport, it has some of the best you’ll find. What kind of fishing, you ask? How about a 20 pound red snapper? No? Spanish mackerel, maybe? These fish are also very cordial in that they hang around all the way through September and even into October. Another reason for fishing here is the cost. You won’t have to rent a charter to catch fish, the Emerald Coast waters sport a pier from which to cast your hook. Pompano arrive in April and starts the good fishing that lasts all the way through October. Along with Pompano you will find Whiting, Channel Bass and Blue Runners.

It really doesn’t matter what type of fishing you like the best, it’s bound to be worth a cast to frequent the pier and jetty. Choctawhatchee Bay, with some rather good fishing, even its bayous, offers all the fish previously mentioned and adds some Blue Crab. However, if you can charter a boat, Cobia make it easy. There are so many of them you can sight cast! Charters for deep sea fishing are also available.
