Halfbeak
Destin, Florida, may be famous for its beaches, but offshore, you'll find opportunities to target halfbeaks, especially during the warmer months. These slender, surface-dwelling fish are often found schooling near weed lines and floating debris. The Gulf of Mexico's clear waters make sight fishing a viable option. Trolling small lures or using live bait, such as shrimp or small minnows, is an effective way to target halfbeaks. Focus your efforts a few miles offshore, particularly along the edges of currents. Access is readily available from Destin Harbor, with numerous charter options. Halfbeaks are often targeted as bait for larger gamefish like marlin and tuna, but they can also provide a fun light-tackle fishing experience. Be prepared for a fast-paced bite when you find a school!
