Fishing
Known as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" Destin is located on the Emerald Coast with easy access to prime fishing grounds in the Gulf of Mexico. Members can go after Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Trigger and Scamp. Experienced trollers can catch King and Spanish Mackerels, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna and Bonita.
Two species of mackerels can be found in the Bay:
The Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus maculates, has a bluish back and silvery sides and belly. It also has dark, brassy spots on the sides. Adults can grow to more than 2 feet long.
The king mackerel, Scomberomorus cavalla, is bluish-green on the back and silver on the sides. Juveniles have small bronze spots. Adults can grow to more than 5 feet long.
Mackerels are generally found in warm water around grassy cover in the summer months. They tend to migrate southward for spawning in the winter months.
Check with the Dockmaster for updates on where to catch the big ones!
