Red Snapper Season in Destin, Florida is forty-four days Long This Summer!
The big news in Destin, Florida this summer is our Federal Red Snapper Season, which will begin June 1st, and run through July 14th, will be forty-four days long this year, compared to just nine days long last year.
That should make for some incredible fishing trips, with great catches!
Red snapper is a popular, early-maturing, long-lived reef fish that are broadly distributed in the Gulf of Mexico. They can live to be fifty-seven, and are typically found in deep waters. The average Red Snapper grows to be about twenty-five pounds, with the largest Red Snapper caught in Destin, Florida, weighing in at 46 pounds.
Snapper season has a strong economic impact for many coastal communities throughout Florida, including Destin.

October Fishing Report
October Fishing Report
October was a great month of fishing!
Halloween marks the end of the Destin Fishing Rodeo, bringing with it cooler weather and shorter days here in Destin.
The kings, scamp, trigger fish, amberjack, and vermillion snapper were biting like crazy, and we experienced abundant catches all month long.
We also enjoyed sharing in the Rodeo fun and excitement over the last few weeks, as some of Destination’s anglers weighed-in their catch.
If you’re visiting our area in November, make some time to fish with us! Deep sea fishing is one of the most unique activities Destin has to offer, and the cooler weather brings with it exciting new species of fish, and bountiful catches.
Cheers,
Capt. Stan
