Fishing

It’s easy to get hooked on fishing in Gulf County. It’s a fisherman’s paradise.

Fishing is a year-round activity and the thrill of fishing can be dialed down or up a notch depending on your mood.  Looking to just wet a line or seeking bragging rights on a big one? Inshore, offshore, freshwater; the biggest catches are here.  It’s a fisherman’s paradise.

Perhaps fishing wasn’t a part of your childhood, or you can count on your fingers how many times you’ve been in your whole life. Not to worry, friendly guides will help you bait your hook, remove your catch from your line and put them on ice, and even clean your fish. Contact one of our Concierges at visitgulf.com to find the right charter captain for you and your family.

You don’t have to leave the beach to make a great catch. We have outfitters that can get you surf fishing for around $100 even including your fishing license.  Be sure to check all fishing regulations at www.myfwc.com.

Regardless of what’s biting, you’ll take home a ton of memories.
