Captain Rob takes up to four anglers onto Choctawhatchee Bay aboard Dress Blues, a new 25-foot center-console. Expect private instruction, Penn gear, live bait, shaded seating, a restroom, and fishing for redfish, snapper, drum, trout, and more.

“Captain Rob is an exceptional fishing guide and navigator on the water who made the trip so enjoyable, interesting, and refreshing. We caught lots of fish just after a short time in the bay that exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Captain Rob and L4K Charters because of his experience and patience for any skill level of fishing, and for just an overall fun and memorable time. Look forward to another trip on the next visit to Destin. Thanks a million!”
