La fortuna brillerà su di te nel 'Villaggio di pesca più fortunato del mondo?' Unisciti a First Shot Charters e vieni a vedere di persona. Il capitano Mike Dates, proprietario e operatore, pesca nelle acque della zona fin dall'infanzia. Originario della zona di Destin, è capitano con licenza USCG dal 2001.

Metterai alla prova la tua fortuna a bordo del First Shot, un centro console Cape Horn da 20' che può ospitare fino a 4 passeggeri per uscita. L'equipaggio del First Shot utilizza principalmente esche vive, ma può accogliere anche pescatori a mosca e con esche artificiali.

Tutta l'attrezzatura sarà pronta per te a bordo. Saranno forniti anche i materiali necessari per pulire il pesce, insieme a un equipaggio esperto che sarà lì per aiutarti lungo il percorso. In realtà, saranno anche felici di pulire il pescato per te dopo l'uscita.

Se non vuoi tenere il pesce, il capitano Mike ha esperienza nella pesca CPR – 'Cattura, Foto, Rilascio'. In questo modo, ti assicurerai di fare il minimo danno al pesce che catturi, che verrà poi rilasciato in sicurezza nel suo habitat naturale.

First Shot è specializzato nella pesca nelle acque costiere del Golfo del Messico e nelle acque interne della Baia di Choctawhatchee. Nel golfo, i tuoi obiettivi sarebbero Cavalla, Cobia, Blackfin tuna, squali, Red snapper, cernia e Gray triggerfish, a seconda della stagione. La baia pullula di Trout, Redfish, Black snapper, passera, Ladyfish e pesce serra.

Dal pescatore alle prime armi al professionista esperto, il capitano Mike farà del suo meglio per tenerti sul pesce e farti sorridere. Unisciti a First Shot Charters e goditi il tuo angolo di paradiso della pesca a Destin!

Great Experience!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 31, 20262 adults
We had an amazing time on our fishing charter! There were four of us, and everyone had a great experience from start to finish. The Captain was friendly, helpful, and clearly knew all the best spots—we were reeling in fish all day. We ended up catching a cooler full of fish which was icing on the cake. Everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a successful and enjoyable day on the water!

First Shot Charters is the Best! Captain Mike is a Master of his Craft. Going out for our First time on his 20ft boat was the perfect fit for me and my 2 sons. Captain Mike Skillfully navigated the waters, reading his Lowrance (FishFinder) screens like Neo from the Matrix. He landed us in great spots for an overall amazing fishing experience. He plays great music and answers any questions with an educational stance. We learned a lot and had the best time. First Shot Charters is the Way to go. Thanks Captain Mike!!!

6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 25, 20254 adults
Captain Mike was awesome, he put us on baitfish early in the morning caught a big black snapper while trolling another while drop fishing and a king mackrel and missed about four more caught several bonitas which fight really good and fun to catch. We even hooked about a 9’ bull shark that we fought for a good hour before it cut our line, but we did get him to the top of the water to get to see him. Awesome day. Captain Mike was very knowledgeable knew where to go and was a down to earth fun guy to be around. Thanks for the great memories captain Mike. Look forward to doing it again in the future.

Captain Mike Dates was incredible it was our second time being taken out by him and it was awesome. We caught bait fish searched for fish caught a few different species then spent the last hour fighting a shark. The fishing was hard because of the weather but the Captain kept trying different ways to get us on something we had an amazing time and will be coming back again and continuing our fishing with First Shot!
