We recently spent a week in Destin with another couple. My buddy and I decided to book a last minute half day bay fishing trip. I had contacted an outfitter and they gave me Capt Dalton’s contact info as a reference. As luch would have it we were able to book it. Unfortunately there was no live bait to be had that morning. Still within 30 minutes Capt Dalton had us on fish. We caught half a dozen spotted trout which we could have continued catching. Our goal was to catch a red fish. In order to do so we had to catch some bait fish which we did. Despite Capt Dalton’s efforts we tried multiple methods and locations with no luck. He was generous in extending our trip an extra hour which he did not have to do. I recommend booking with Capt Dalton for he has an extensive knowledge of the bay and tributaries. Although we did not catch red fish, it was not for lack of trying. That is why they call it “fishing” and not “catching”.

We booked this trip to make up for my son’s broken arm on vacation, and it did not disappoint! Dalton was personable, patient with our 4 year old has he re-learned fishing with his non-dominant hand, even providing basic instruction on par with a fishing lesson. He made sure we all caught several fish. His highest priority was our good time! He kept active watch on the weather and rescheduled to ensure maximum fishing time as well as safety, even with a huge storm coming in. He was knowledgeable about fishing but down to earth enough to feel like we were fishing with a friend. We can’t recommend him enough, especially if your group has kids!

Dalton took my boys out and caught tons of fish. He definately knows the area. Great captain and great charter.

Fishing in the bay with captain Dalton was an adventure and caught many fish, he knows where to go, Way to go!
