Looks like my Destin in July trips are almost here! I have two trips planned. 4th of July extended weekend and a week starting on July 18th.

For those who have never been, you should find time once to go!

For those that have gone the fishing, diving and crab island hangout is something else to be a part of!

Hope to maybe Spot other Jetboaters members in Destin. I'll keep this post updated as my adventures start and unfold :winkingthumbsup"

Can't wait to get my 2015 updated photos up. New boat will be flying the American and LSU flags ! image.jpg

I'm out there just about every weekend. We haven't had a TON of bad storms this year, so the water has been crystal clear at high tide. Doesn't get much better.

Let me know if you have any questions. Would be glad to answer.

By the way, the photo in my signature is at Crab Island about a month ago.

Here is a pic from this past Saturday. Took with my GoPro at the south edge of Crab Island.

I have only had my boat for about 3 weeks and have only had it in the bay once of the 5 times I have had it out. I prefer to take it to the lake just North of my house. It is nice to have it so close when we want to go though.

@ToddW850 I could always use some accurate GPS numbers for good fishing spots :winkingthumbsup"
Haha! If I had any I could give you I would for sure. Fisherman around here guard their numbers with armed security!

We have absolute crazy weather every day for the past week. Even had a Water Spout go straight across Crab Island today. Someone got a video.

@Helipilot11 check this out. The Water Spout went right across where you and I met up the other weekend.

At least the weather held out most of the day yesterday. Not looking so good this morning.
