Blacknose Shark
Destin, Florida, offers some exciting opportunities for anglers targeting blacknose sharks. What sets Destin apart is its proximity to both the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay, providing diverse fishing environments. Blacknose sharks are most active here during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. They frequent the nearshore waters and can even be found in the bay, especially around structures like bridges and docks. For surf anglers, the beaches along Okaloosa Island are worth exploring. If you have access to a boat, try fishing around the numerous artificial reefs just offshore. A local tip: chumming can be highly effective in attracting these sharks. Remember to use circle hooks and heavy tackle to ensure a safe catch and release. The blacknose shark population here is generally healthy, but practicing responsible angling is crucial to maintaining the fishery.
