The fish Destin anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Destin bills itself as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village," and its deep, fast-access pass over the Gulf shelf is the reason — the bottom grounds out of Destin are some of the best red snapper and grouper water in the Gulf, and the charter fleet here is one of the largest in the country. Spring brings a famous sight-cast cobia run along the beaches as the fish migrate past. Inshore, Choctawhatchee Bay holds redfish, speckled trout and flounder around the grass and the passes.
