Ready to spend a full day chasing fish in some of the Gulf's most productive waters? Captain Ryan Holloway's 10-hour offshore charter aboard ProFishiency gives you serious time to work the waters around Destin. This isn't your typical half-day rush job – we're talking about a proper full-day adventure where you can settle in, find your rhythm, and really make the most of what these waters have to offer. With room for up to six anglers, this private charter gives your group the freedom to fish at your own pace without worrying about other parties or time constraints.
You'll meet Captain Ryan at 314 Harbor Blvd bright and early, where ProFishiency will be fueled up and ready to roll. This boat comes equipped with everything you need for a successful day – fish finder to locate the schools, GPS to hit the best spots, VHF radio for safety, plus an ice-box to keep your catch fresh and a head for comfort during those long hours. The captain provides all your tackle, live bait, and even covers your state fishing licenses, so you can focus on what matters most: getting lines in the water. We're targeting Florida state waters where Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and other seasonal favorites call home. The beauty of a 10-hour trip is that you've got time to move around if one spot isn't producing, try different techniques, and really work the water thoroughly. Don't forget to pack sunscreen, comfortable clothes that can get wet, snacks to keep your energy up, and whatever personal items you'll want for the day.
Offshore fishing in Destin waters means adapting to what the fish are doing on any given day. Captain Ryan knows these waters like the back of his hand and will adjust tactics based on conditions, season, and what's biting. You might start the day bottom fishing over structure where snapper love to hang out, using circle hooks and fresh bait to entice those deep-dwelling beauties. When the Spanish Mackerel are running, expect to switch gears to trolling or casting spoons and small jigs that mimic the baitfish they're chasing. The fish finder becomes your best friend out here, helping locate schools and structure that hold fish. Live bait fishing can be deadly effective – nothing beats a frisky sardine or cigar minnow when the bite gets tough. With 10 hours to work with, you'll have time to try multiple approaches and really dial in what's working best that day.
Red Snapper are the crown jewel of Destin offshore fishing, and for good reason. These hard-fighting bottom dwellers can reach 20-30 pounds and will test your tackle and technique. They're structure-oriented fish that love hanging around wrecks, reefs, and ledges in 60-200 feet of water. Peak season typically runs from June through July during federal season, though state waters offer opportunities at different times. What makes snapper so exciting isn't just their size – they're smart fish that require finesse and patience. When you feel that telltale thump-thump on the bottom and set the hook into a big red, you'll understand why anglers travel from all over to target these Gulf Coast favorites.
Spanish Mackerel bring a completely different kind of excitement to your offshore adventure. These speed demons are built for fast, aggressive strikes and blistering runs that'll have your drag screaming. Typically running 2-4 pounds with occasional fish pushing 6-8 pounds, they make up for their size with pure attitude. Spring through fall offers the best action as schools move through Destin waters following bait. They're sight feeders that love shiny spoons, small jigs, and live bait presentations. What's great about Spanish Mackerel is their willingness to bite – when you find a school, you can often load the boat quickly. They're also fantastic eating, with firm white meat that's perfect for the grill or smoker.
