Destin-Fort Walton Beach Fish Aggregating Devices

The brand new Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) are designed to attract large fish like mahi-mahi, marlin and tuna to within 60-80 miles of Destin-Fort Walton Beach, FL. Large game fish are attracted to floating objects and these specially designed buoys will keep them closer to the coastline. This means that anglers of all skill levels will be able to consistently access a pelagic fishery without traveling hundreds of miles. For questions, please contact Coastal Resource Manager, Alex Fogg at afogg@mokaloosa.com.
