If you want to visit one of the best spots for deep sea fishing, it’s worth it to learn more about deep sea fishing at DESTIN.

Located in northwest Florida, Destin is one of the most popular places to fish in Florida. There are many marinas and launches in the area, so you can bring your own boat, or rent one and go fishing. Reasons for Destin's popularity are its proximity to the famous 100-Foot Curve—an area along the Gulf of Mexico's shallow shoreline that drops sharply to a depth of about 600 feet—just 10 miles from the Destin Marina. Deep sea anglers who visit often say they enjoy some of the best fishing in the state.

There are a few important things to know when planning your first fishing trip. Learn about the saltwater fish you can target, the fishing methods you may use, and what type of fishing license you need.

What kind of fish can you catch on a Florida deep sea fishing trip?

While you may have a chance to catch red snapper, grouper, amberjack, King mackerel, sailfish or blue marlin, but be sure to read the current Florida fishing laws and regulations first so you are aware of all relevant Florida fishing seasons, bag limits and size restrictions. Don’t forget, if you fish within a certain range (in Florida, more than 3 miles on the Atlantic side and 9 miles on the Gulf side), federal recreational fishing regulations also need to be considered.

What are the most common methods of deep sea fishing in Destin?

Bottom fishing and trolling are the two most common methods of deep sea fishing. When fishing on the bottom, you can use natural bait (such as squid) or try fishing with a lead head hook. When fishing, you can try using natural bait (such as cigar minnows), or use a skirted plug to secure your line.

Before boarding a boat, don't forget to check with the boat's captain or fishing guide to make sure he or she has a fishing license that covers you. If not, you will need to purchase a Florida saltwater fishing license before your trip.
