[QUOTE=JD7.62;497164]I fish often offshore with some friends out of Destin and Pensacola. This fall, when the blue water comes back in, we plan on doing a mothership trip and take a few yaks out to troll for some big game like wahoo, billfish and big mahi, maybe even try something crazy and fish for swords at night around the spur.
We dont do too much bottom fishing on the boats because we can access all of those fish except AJs - well we do occasionally catch AJs but not often - just a couple miles off Navarre Beach for a fraction of the price. We have live bottom spots in seventy to seventy five feet of water that close in. On calm clear days you can just see all of the snapper swimming around the reef and put your bait in front of the one you want.
DRob, if you are interested in going out with me just shoot me an email at jldowns04 at gmail dot com. If you are staying by the Destin Jetties you are only about thirty minutes from me. October is my favorite time to fish. The water is usually flat and crystal clear. Also the tuna and sailfish tend to come in better in October.[/QUOTE]
How's the fishing right now down in Destin area? I am heading down Saturday night for a week. It is a family trip with my parents and my son but would like to do a little fishing while down. I won't have much tackle, if any, considering all my tackle is freshwater specific.
