Capt Mark was extremely professional and so entertaining! Having his first mate, and better half, Kayla, joining us rounded out our trip with fun stories, advice on fishing, and sheer fun to be around. Mark's philosophy on fishing and stalking the fish was unparalleled! We caught King Mackerel, Grouper, and Red Snapper. Then as we were heading in, Mark spotted a ton of Bonitas feeding and had to stop to try and catch one. He showed me where to throw my line and on my first cast I landed one immediately! THE most fun fish to bring in on light tackle!!! I could go on and on about our trip, but there just isn't enough time in the day! Book your trip with Capt Mark and 30A Light Tackle for the best day of fishing and entertainment!!!

He was extremely professional, and his directions to get there, where to park, and how to get on the boat were so accurate and idiot proof for someone that is a little directionally challenged like me ! He was on time, and ready to go even 15 minutes prior to take off when we showed up. His boat was SQUEAKY clean. When we showed up, he had ice in his cooler already to go for us to put our drinks/lunch in. His safety briefing was through, hilarious at all the right times, and made us feel like we were in great hands. He had a small bathroom under the deck (which was very clean!) and he gave us directions on how to use it. When the fishing started. He was ready with dead bait, but had us fish for live bait for an even better time. We caught so much bait at the direction of Captain Matt, that we didn't even have to stop and buy any! He was very informative of where to sit on the boat if you didn't want to feel the waves as much. When the fishing started, he knew exactly where to go like he had Poseidon powers!! The moment we dropped the lines with the bait that he loaded up on our hooks, we started pulling up fish. At each spot, we were pulling up fish left and right! When we caught a shark, Captain Matt encouraged and coached us all the way through until the shark pulled off. He even gave all of us a chance to have a turn! Even though he was a one man show, there wasn't 3 minutes where we didn't go without bait on our hooks. He was working hard making sure we were all accommodated and equipt with everything needed to pull in some great fish! We caught way more fish than we kept, but we kept 7 red snapper, 2 mangrove snappers, and one fairly hefty (delicious) grouper. We hooked on a few larger fish as well, but the tax collector came along and took his share When we got back, we took pictures of the catch that he presented for us on the dock. After the obligatory fisherman photos, Captain Matt filleted all the fish beautifully for us, put it in ziplocks on ice. We then took it to Harbor Dock per one of his dock neighbors recommendation and they cooked it for us for $14 a plate including sides! I haven't stopped thinking about how great fish tasted that you caught less than two hours before being presented on a plate to you. Try to bring a few boxes of the gallon Ziplock brand baggies! He will happily use them for you and other customers to sort the different fillets and separate ones that you want to take up to Harbor Dock to get cooked. I couldn't imagine going on another boat trip and even comparing to how great the trip was with Captain Matt. If you're considering the party boat, don't. If you don't go with a Captain Matt with Destin Go Fishing, you really missed out on the best guided deep sea fishing trip of your life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DESTIN GO FISHING!!!

My family and I had a great experience with Destin Inshore Fishing Company. The whole trip was…read moreseamless. Everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. The crew was great with the kids. They were able to drop lines and reel the fish in themselves. (Ages 8-12). We caught vermillion snapper (mingo), trigger fish, and white grunt "ruby lips". Good size fish to catch for the youngsters. After the crew cleaned the fish we walked down to Harry T's for a hook and cook deal. My only complaint would be that I would prefer the crew not smoke around the kids.

Done Deal--More Like Raw Deal…read more Do not waste your money on this charter. There are thousands of fishing options in Destin--choose another one. This company advertises mahi-mahi fishing, and August is one of the best times of year to target mahi. We specifically requested trolling, expecting at least an honest attempt at mahi or other pelagic fish. Instead, Captain Rusty ignored our request and made us bottom fish. If we had wanted a bottom-fishing trip, we could have booked a party boat for one-third of the price. The captain's attitude made it worse. My 80-year-old father-in-law politely said the radio was a little loud, so we asked for it to be turned down slightly. Captain Rusty responded by turning it off completely. My father-in-law has always dreamed of being a boat captain and simply wanted to sit up top and enjoy the experience. When we asked for a little more airflow, Rusty's response was, "I'd rather be hot." That comment perfectly captures his attitude toward his paying customers. Captain Rusty and the deckhands also smoked constantly around my asthmatic wife and father-in-law. They were unpersonable, dismissive and acted as if our presence was an inconvenience. After five hours, we had maybe three snapper to show for it. Of course, no charter can guarantee fish--but this wasn't simply bad luck. They advertised one type of fishing, ignored what we requested, delivered a much cheaper bottom-fishing experience and showed virtually no interest in making the trip enjoyable. This was an extremely expensive boat ride with a rude captain. Take your money elsewhere.

We went out at 5:00 AM and quickly dropped lines in for some bait fish. A few bait fish were pulled in but after 10-15 mins we pulled out and went over to a bait boat that filled up the tanks of what was needed for our 6-hour outing. We then headed to where the snapper were, maybe 30-45 mins away. From there we proceeded to pull in one fish after another until we were limited out. It took less than 3 hours. Unfortunately that was the only thing in season at the time. Instead of heading in early we were taken to another area where the Amber Jacks were hungry and only 7-days away from being in season. The Amber Jacks were biting as well as the Red Snappers and we all got the opportunity to haul in at least one of them. They put up quite a fight and we all got some beauties. We took our pictures with them and then released them back to fight another day. Would recommend Lady 'Em and it's crew to anyone interested in catching!
