Shalimar Saltwater Action: Non-Stop Bites on Half-Day Charter

July 8, 2025

Non-stop bites all day long! Summer fishing in Shalimar, FL with Have Fun Charter's was in full swing as I took Jason and their crew out for an early morning adventure on Choctawhatchee Bay. The clear conditions set the perfect stage for our offshore excursion. As we headed out from the docks, the calm waters of the bay stretched out before us, promising a great day of fishing ahead. With four eager anglers on board, we were ready to explore the rich fishing grounds that make this area a top destination for saltwater enthusiasts. Have Fun Charter's always aims to provide an unforgettable experience, and this trip was shaping up to be no exception. Once the stage was set, we got down to business with a variety of techniques to maximize our chances of success. We started with some trolling, letting our lines dance behind the boat as we searched for active fish. As the day progressed, we switched gears to bottom fishing, dropping our baits to the structure-rich floor of the Gulf. We even tried our hand at deep dropping, targeting those elusive deep-water species that call these waters home. The combination of these methods kept things interesting throughout our half-day charter. While we didn't land any trophy fish this time around, the constant action and the thrill of the hunt made for an exciting day on the water. We wrapped up our Private Half-Day Fishing Trip with smiles all around, having enjoyed a beautiful day out on the Gulf. The crew had a blast trying different techniques and experiencing the variety that Destin-area fishing has to offer. Even though we didn't bring any keepers to the boat this time, the non-stop action and the chance to hone their offshore fishing skills made for a memorable outing. For those of you thinking about your next fishing adventure, I can't recommend Destin, Florida saltwater fishing enough. Whether you're after the speedy mackerel or the tasty snapper, our waters have something for everyone. At Have Fun Charter's, we specialize in creating custom fishing experiences tailored to your skill level and interests. Our Private Half-Day Fishing Trips are perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to escape for a few hours of offshore excitement. We provide all the gear and expertise you need to make the most of your time on the water. From trolling and bottom fishing to deep dropping, we'll show you the techniques that work best in our local waters. Don't miss the chance to experience the thrill of Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf beyond. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, our team at Have Fun Charter's is ready to guide you to the hotspots and help you create lasting memories. So why wait? Come join us in Shalimar, FL, and let's set sail for your next great fishing story!

Inshore Fishing is Heating Up

Fishing in Destin is really heating up, and it's not just the weather! The waters are full of action, with Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, and Redfish making their presence known. These popular species are showing up in good numbers along the inshore areas, especially around the flats and estuaries. If you're after something a bit more exciting, try fishing around the underwater structures – they’re proving to be great spots for Grouper. Whether you’re fishing from the shore or out on a boat, it’s shaping up to be an excellent time to reel in some impressive catches. Get out there and enjoy the fantastic spring fishing in Destin!

Our typical charter boat was booked so I made a post on FB looking for a charter. Within 15 minutes, Brooke responded and we set up a time to go. They were waiting on us with a smile when we arrived and helped us load our gear. Within 20 minutes we had fish in the boat. Captain Robert and his first mate Daniel worked their tails off to put us on fish, make sure we had bait and taught us different techniques to catch the most fish. We did a 6 hour evening charter that resulted in over 30 fish in the boat, 7 dolphin encounters and a beautiful sunset ride back to the bay. I will definitely be going out with them again next year. If you are looking for an inshore trip give them a call. Brooke and Robert’s southern hospitality make the trip even better!

July 12, 2025

You can’t not have fun on the water with Captain Robert and Brooke. 3 hour tour with kids was great and we all caught lots of fish. Two fins up!

July 12, 2025

My AC repair guys did such a great job for us we booked them a trip with Capt. RL who we have known for over 15 years. They had a blast bottom fishing, catching something on almost every drop! They caught red snapper, triggerfish, mingo snapper and more. Highly recommend this company to anyone who want to have fun with a captain who has been fishing these waters his whole life. Nice work Captain. Can’t wait to go catch em up again.

July 12, 2025

Capt Robert is A + , great fishing today. Brooke answers calls and texts immediately. Highly recommend

July 12, 2025

We had a great time with Captain Robert Lee & Brooke. They took care of everything for us which made for a very enjoyable trip and to top that off we brought home plenty of fish. We will be going back.

July 12, 2025

My kids and I had an amazing time yesterday fishing with Captain Robert Lee! He knew exactly where to put us on the fish, and he was very attentive the entire trip. He kept our hooks baited, and assisted us with lots of patience and always smiling. We were out for 4 hours fishing, and he even stopped on the way in to let us take a refreshing dip in the beautiful water at Crab Island. We will definitely go back out with Have Fun Charters the next time we're in Destin. Oh, and Brooke was super friendly, and 💯 on top of keeping in touch prior to the trip, making sure we knew everything we needed to bring and where to go. Thank y'all so much!
