Jordan Smith, Captain at Soggy Bottom Fishing Charters

Take advantage of some of the best inshore fishing the Gulf of Mexico or Choctawhatchee Bay has to offer! Based out of Destin, one of Florida's top fishing destinations, Captain J.J. Botelho runs a variety of trips and will make sure to take you to all the top local spots!


Whether you're new to fishing or a passionate angler, Soggy Bottom Charters can provide you the perfect day on the water catering to your experience and goals. Captain J.J. says his biggest satisfaction from fishing these days is teaching kids how to fish and watching them catch some of the biggest fish they've ever laid eyes on. No matter who you are, it's always his goal to help you become a better angler... and catch some of the biggest fish of your life.


Soggy Bottom Charters has a fleet of 2 Cape Horn center consoles. Dry and comfortable, these boats are perfect for both the Gulf and the Bay. They're heavy and their wide beam allows them to ride like a dream even in rough conditions. They're 2 of the best-riding and best-fishing boats in the 22' and 20' size range.


Soggy Bottom Charters offers a range of trips to suit any taste and supplies all the tackle for an incredible variety of fishing techniques. On Gulf trips, you’ll have the chance to troll for the bite of a range of strong-fighting and tasty fish. Test your skills against larger pelagic species like Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and more. On shorter bay fishing trips, you'll target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon and more.

The longer the trip… the more time for fishing and traveling to better spots! This is a fishing charter in either the bay, or the gulf (your choice). The Captain will contact you a few days ahead of time to discuss where the bite is best, and what the weather forecast looks like for the day you’ve reserved. Price includes everything you need for the day including your fish being cleaned at the end of the trip along with ice to keep them cold on the way home! All you are responsible for is your drinks, snacks, and sunscreen.

Wonderful company, very accommodating and a ton of fun. Took my son And his girlfriend on the early morn trip. Captain David was the best cap ever!!!!! He was on the fish from the first drop and it didn’t stop was also very patient w us armatures. Highly recommend.. for sure will book w them again…And tell friends too also. Wish we had a full day instead of half a day.

Had our first fishing charter in Destin today with Andrew from Soggy Bottom Fishing Charters and we could not have asked for a better guide. He is personable, knowledgeable of the area, had good equipment and made for the perfect afternoon catching fish that we hadn’t previously ever fished for. Would definitely recommend Andrew and Soggy Bottom Fishing Charters.
