Slow Pitch Jigging in Destin FL is on Fire | Offshore Fishing | Scamp Grouper | Red Snapper
Will, Chris, and myself hit the road at 5am for a road trip to Destin Florida. The purpose of this trip was first to catch fish, second was to check in with one of our favorite dealers “Emerald Coast Bait and Tackle” and third we were invited to present a seminar on slow pitch jigging with emerald coast fishing club.
Its my understanding that Destin is very well know for there inshore fishery as well as offshore. Capt. Isiah, and Capt. Nick both run inshore charters and say that the fishery is pretty incredible and some of the notable species include redfish, trout, and sheep’s head. Our host for the day is Capt. Josh and his wife Anna. These two have an incredible story of which we will get into. Slow Pitch Jigging is really starting to gain popularity in this area and we felt it was time to head up to the panhandle of Florida and drop some slow pitch jigs.

Emerald coast bait and tackle is the best tackle shop in the panhandle!

Some days the vermillion snapper will fill your box. Great eating and beautiful looking fish. Destin is a Gulf location for fisherman where you can be in deep water without burning a tank of fuel to get there. Navarre is another great destination in the area just west of Destin.

The crew at Emerald Coast Bait & Tackle are fantastic. Glad to see y’all giving Lower Alabama some love. Tight lines.

Great video as always guys 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@wrightackle1]

I am just down the road from you guys [pensacola]. What a beautiful tackle shop! That inventory is spectacular. It is really cool to see the mingos being caught on the slow pitch jigs. Not having to deal with cleaning squid tentacles off the gunnels of the boat is a real bonus.

[@Maxrebow]

So cool to see you guys up here.

[@brycehartzog8154]

We tried going out last Saturday but made it to the bouy before turning around and coming back.

[@ShallowWaterShamoo]

Would be cool if we could get your jigs stocked at Outcast Bait & Tackle in Pensacola

[@trinitylandsurveying]

Was in Destin this same weekend and also caught a lionfish on one of your jigs!

[@JohnnyJigsTV]

No way!! That's hilarious. We haven't caught too many Lionfish on the jig. Tight lines...Johnny

You guys need to come back in October & fish the Destin Rodeo. You’ll definitely get some great exposure at the daily weigh-ins. You should also consider sponsoring. As for Emerald Coast Bait & Tackle, I feel like a kid at Christmas every time I walk through the door Josh & the crew are the best; great service & plenty of advice to go with it

[@JohnnyJigsTV]

Thanks Dan, We will check it out.

“There’s so many Trigger Fish, “ but Trigger fish has been so restricted that you can only keep ONE and it has to be, 15 INCHES.

[@johnnoneya7493]

seems odd to fish for grouper in 300ft when season is closed for another couple of days???

[@JohnnyJigsTV]

Hey John, Grouper does open on the Atlantic May 1st and we are counting down the days. In this video, we are fishing out of Destin Florida. The gulf has different regulations than the Atlantic. I would highly recommend downloading the app fish rules. It is super helpful to stay up to date with regulations and also will update based on your location. Tight lines....Johnny
