Fishing has been on fire for the past couple of weeks. A lot of redfish with some speckled trout, mangrove snapper, and spanish mackerel as well.

Destin can get a little chilly during the winter but we still get plenty of days where the sun pops out and it feels great. No matter what the conditions, though, fish gotta eat! We target redfish, speckled trout, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, pompano, black drum, and flounder during the winter months using both live bait and artificial lures.

Fishing in Destin is pretty solid right now. There are good numbers of trout and mangrove snapper. Redfish can be a little more tricky to locate but there are still plenty on the flats to catch. We are primarily using a number of different live bait rigged on a knocker rig. Sometimes we are flylining live bait and that has been the ticket for trout when they are being finicky.i
