We specialize in inshore fishing experiences that showcase the calm, scenic waters of Destin’s bays and nearshore areas. Our inshore fishing charters are perfect for anglers of all skill levels who want a relaxed yet exciting day on the water. With trips designed to fit your schedule, we make it easy to enjoy the thrill of catching redfish, speckled trout, flounder, spanish mackerel and sheepshead in the Choctawhatchee Bay without venturing far from shore.
Inshore Fishing in the Bays and Nearshore Waters
Our inshore fishing charters focus on the bayous and flats where fish are abundant and easily accessible. These areas are ideal for families, beginners, or anyone looking to enjoy calm water fishing in Destin. Depending on your trip length, we can explore quiet backwaters, dock areas, and grassy flats, giving you plenty of opportunities to hook multiple species while soaking in the natural beauty of the area.
Flexible Charter Trips for Every Angler
We offer inshore fishing trips ranging from short half-day excursions to longer, more immersive outings. Shorter trips are perfect for families or first-time anglers who want a fun, quick adventure, while longer inshore fishing charters provide extra time to explore more of the bay and increase your chances of a big catch. Every trip comes fully equipped with bait, tackle, and expert guidance from our experienced captain.
A Personal and Rewarding Fishing Experience
Every inshore fishing charter we offer is designed to be personal and enjoyable. We guide you every step of the way, helping you land your first redfish or perfect your casting technique. At First Shot Charters, our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and memorable day on the water, whether you’re targeting inshore species or simply enjoying the calm beauty of Destin’s bays.
