Kayak and paddleboard fishing

Kayak and paddleboard fishing is great for families with kids who are comfortable on the water. Our favorite calm fishing spot is the Choctawhatchee Bay. You can take off from Island Watersports on Okaloosa Island or Ross Marler Park in Fort Walton Beach.

Tip from our locals: Rent your rod and reel and purchase bait at Half Hitch Tackle or Bass Pro Shop in Destin Commons.
