Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters

Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters invites you for an unforgettable inshore fishing adventure out of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.

The charter is owned and operated by one of the best captains around, Captain Brad Bishop. He has spent over 20 years of his life on the water, working and fishing. He will use this vast knowledge and experience in guiding you to the best spots and fish.

The town of Santa Rosa Beach is conveniently located on the Choctawhatchee Bay which offers outstanding fishing year round. You can fish for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Cobia, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle.

With the latest big addition to our fleet – a 35ft SeaHunter, we now offer Offshore Fishing Trips where you can bottom fish for Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack and a variety of other reef fish, as well as trolling for Kings and Mahi, and sight fishing for Cobia and Tarpon.

Depending on the season and the fish you want to target, Captain Brad will take you to the places he knows produce good amounts of fish.
