Sportfishing Destination Review: Destin, FL

Destin, FL is one of the greatest sportfishing destinations in the United States, and the number of fishing charters in the area proves it.  Located in between Pensacola and Panama City (Florida) and directly on the Gulf of Mexico, Destin introduces anyone to what could be called, "Fishing Paradise.  Charters do both inshore, deepsea and saltwater fly fishing trips, but the most common trips seem to be directed toward tuna, sailfish, grouper, mahi mahi and the like.  It is important to do your research when going on a charter trip to make sure you are going to get your money's worth, and not just a trip around the jeti at the end of the peir.  Take some time, read reviews and focus a little energy on making sure you will actually have to expel some while reeling in your trophy fish.
