For some of the best inshore Destin fishing charters, look no further than Southern Renegade Charters! We specialize in light tackle fishing the backwaters and bayous of Choctawhatchee Bay for multiple species. Our services are dedicated to seeing you have the time of your life on one of our professional, safe, and exciting inshore fishing trips. We are family friendly and offer trips that can accommodate your needs. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join us for a great day of Choctawhatchee Bay fishing!

Captain Shane Johnson will be greeting you at the dock at the time of your trip. Capt. Shane has been fishing this Bay his entire life and loves every second of it. He has acquired great knowledge of the local species and the different techniques used to catch them. Capt. Shane loved fishing the Choctawhatchee Bay so much that he decided to start running inshore Destin fishing charters so he could share his passion with other anglers. He doesn’t consider this a job; he considers this as living his dream. Capt. Shane loves to meet new people. He is always happy to share his knowledge with you on fishing trips with him.

Our inshore fishing charters begin in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Captain Shane will work hard to put you right where the fish are biting. He may lead you to the nearby fishing grounds of Destin, Hogtown Bayou, Miramar Beach, Grassy Cove, Big Hammock Point, Choctaw Beach, and many other popular locations around the Choctawhatchee Bay.

All the excitement begins the minute you hop aboard Capt. Shane’s gorgeous 22ft Sportsman 227 Masters bay boat. This boat is perfect for inshore Destin fishing charters! Her 150hp Yamaha engine can take us to all the fishing hotspots at speeds up to 35 knots. On deck, you will find power poles, a cooler for your catches, a live baitwell, all the required safety equipment, a wireless trolling motor, and all of the latest fish finding technologies. There is enough room on board for you and 4 of your friends or family members to enjoy some amazing Choctawhatchee Bay fishing!

We offer half day fishing trips covering the inshore waters of the Destin, Florida area. On each trip, you are provided with everything you need for a successful day of fishing. You will not need to bring anything except for snacks, drinks, and some sunscreen. We also offer a special 2 hour trips designed for kids who might grow tired after a few hours of fishing. Capt. Shane is very patient with children and loves getting the younger generations excited about fishing.

Destin offers amazing fishing opportunities each and every year and Capt. Shane will make sure you return to the dock with plenty to show for your trip. Some of the species we love to chase after on our inshore Destin fishing charters include Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Jack Crevalle.

Family Adventure
What an awesome family adventure and great fishing! You won't find a better guide to provide such a great experience on the water. On top of that, Captain Shane knows where the fish are. I have been on many charters with lots of different guides, and this will go down as one of my favorites. Captain Shane had the right demeanor and personality for the kids and family, and balanced that really well with a strong desire to catch fish. We limited on trout while we watched all the boats around us doing nothing. It was pretty funny, because those boats kept moving closer and closer to us. I would highly recommend Captain Shane and Southern Renegade Charters. We will be back next year!
