Next time plan your trip A little further west and you won't need a charter... if you plan for the 2 weeks I'm home that is....

Rusty - That's super generous . . . will keep that in mind for the future. The wife's parents are planning to relocate to the area from Dallas. We're there May8th - 13th which overlaps with the start of red snapper . . . getting close.

yup... Hope to get mine put together this trip home... because my hitch after that I get home Tuesday the 31... of may .... for FED season... I have some holes that we culled anything under 10#...biggest we pulled was pushing 30.... but 6 fish average was around 18 3 years ago .... didn't hit it last 2 years and pretty sure no one else did much on it either because of its location ....
are they relocating to destin or my side .... im not a destin fan ... too many people ... our area is like destin was 20 years ago..... but the water there stays a little clearer with rain ... but id wager we have as many dockside restaurants as they do....

Holy smokes those are good size fish!! Don't share that spot. Thanks for the suggestion . . . I'll pass it along. I think they are looking anywhere b/w the Alabama line to Destin. They don't like crowds either, so I was surprised to hear they are going to be spending a day with a realtor. They have some good friends that are living near you in Alabama,so maybe they will end up there. I think the "no state income tax" thing is part of the FL attraction.

I was born and raised in Pensacola.... we moved to al 10 years ago... you will pay the same overall tax load just in different places.... I thought it would be a big difference but it wasn't noticeable... perdido key is a good area... still in florida... but less crowd !!

Hate to pile on, but will also be in Destin from May 28th to June 4th and looking for charter recs. I have PM's Capt Todd, but haven't heard back yet.

If any recommendations please pass along.

TIA!

Default Capt Todd

Just spoke to Todd this afternoon. And he said that bigshrimpin will be fishing with him... Glad to hear that. Todd is a great guy and a seasoned Captain.. He will put you on the fish. Oh and he runs a 23 seacraft as well..
