Destin, Florida is a perfect example of a sun drenched family get away but what is there to do when you get tired of the beach? Well, there is all that perfectly good ocean just a few feet away and Destin is home to one of the top Charter Fishing boats, Backlash Charters. You and 5 of your friends could take a charter fishing trip into the beautiful blue water. So when you are ready to start collecting some once in a lifetime memories call Captain Jason Mikel. His family has been Deep Sea Fishing Destin for 4 generations and his boat the “Backlash” is always ready to go.

Don’t be concerned if you are a novice fisherman, many of the Backlash’s voyages are tailored to beginners and people that just want to get out and enjoy the day. The captain and mate will be with you to guide you through the experience and if you do manage to catch a whopper the mate will even clean and bag them for you. While you are having a blast pulling in one after another your family can be enjoying the other accommodations. The backlash is not just another boat for Charter Fishing Destin. It is a 40 foot Infinity built for speed, comfort and fish ability. Its distinctive hull design provides a stable platform whether at anchor or in motion. A few of the amenities include:

  • The ability to watch TV or DVD if the mood strikes you
  • A Playstation for the kids
  • Stereo
  • Satellite phone
  • Air conditioning
  • Microwave
  • Refrigerator/freezer to pack with goodies for the ride.

For the shorter 5 to 6 hour trips the boat will stay within 15 miles of shore so you will stay in the relatively shallow end of the pool. The captain and mate will provide you with everything that you might need for your fishing excursion. They will supply Instruction should you need it and rods, reels, license and gear but you will need to bring your own cooler with ice to stow the filets that the mate will cut out of the massive fish you reel in. You only need to remember your food and drink, possibly rain gear just in case and your camera because you will definitely be making memories.

The only concern is getting a spot reserved. They fill up in advance and especially Saturdays but weekends in general are packed. The busy season is in the summer but they remain quite busy in spring and fall. Call today and get ready to do some Deep Sea Fishing Destin style.

Destin Deep Sea Fishing for Swordfish

Destin Deep Sea Fishing for Swordfish

Posted In blog

Backlash Charters Has the Experience Swordfishing Requires

You have heard that swordfish are among the most respected of the fighting fish…now are you ready to experience this challenge and excitement for yourself? Captain Jason Mikel and Backlash Charters of Destin, Florida will provide you with the experience of a lifetime. Captain Mikel has 20+ of experience and the knowledge and instincts that come from being part of a family of fishermen that goes back generations. Combine this with state of the art equipment and you can expect an exciting sport fishing experience.

Fishing for Swordfish is a Deep Water Experience

Swordfish populations have had a chance to rebuild after years of over fishing by longline fishermen. Closed zones were created and now to catch this rare fish, Captain Mikel will take you 50+ miles offshore in the quest to catch this elusive fish. Using his knowledge of swordfish habits and sophisticated navigation and sonar equipment, he will set you up for the dream come true sportfishing experience.

Captain Mikel Increases Your Chance for Success

There is even more to know to ensure your success. Understanding the effect of the moon phases on the swordfish habits is key! Swordfish are predators and feed on squid and mackerel which are affected by the amount of light filtering down through the water. The bait prefer to stay at the bottom of the filtered light and this in turn will be where swordfish are likely to be found. During nights of bright moon light, Captain Mikel will have you set your line deeper and on a dark night you will fish closer to the surface. Again, Captain Mikel’s experience is the key to your successful sportfishing experience.

Backlash Charters Provides All You Need

On your way out you will collect some live bait. Captain Mikel knows the best spots, around sea buoys and reefs, for obtaining bait. He will keep your bait lively for the best fishing experience possible. Backlash Charters will supply you with a heavy duty rod and reel as you prepare to do battle with this prized fighting fish. Swordfish are usually sought for the thrill of the chase and ensuing fight and are then released. But should you decide to keep your catch, Backlash Charters will filet your catch and put the tasty steaks on ice for you to enjoy on the grill once you are back home.

Testimonials

One of the best parts of our fishing trip on The Backlash was getting back to the dock and seeing the reaction on the faces of the guys who choose to go fishing on another boat. Our catch blew theirs away! I caught the biggest Amberjack of my life, not to mention all the Grouper and Snapper. Thanks Capt. Jason.

Capt. Jason took me and my two sons out for a day of fishing. We all had a great time and caught more fish than I could believe. I came back to the dock with more than just a great catch; I had two of the happiest boys in the world. Thank you to the entire Backlash crew!
