Porbeagle
If you're looking to tangle with a Porbeagle, Destin, Florida, offers a unique opportunity. The deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico are relatively close to shore here, allowing quicker access to the Porbeagle's preferred habitat. While Porbeagles can be caught year-round, the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, generally see an increase in their presence as they follow baitfish migrations. Trolling deep with mackerel or herring is a proven method. A key to success in Destin is paying attention to water temperature breaks and areas with high concentrations of bait. Many experienced anglers depart from the Destin Harbor, which offers several charter options and a convenient boat ramp. Be prepared for a serious fight; Porbeagles are powerful and can be stubborn, so heavy tackle is essential.
