Sand Tiger Shark
Destin, known for its stunning beaches, also offers thrilling opportunities to encounter sand tiger sharks. While not as commonly targeted as other species, these sharks are present in the deeper waters off the coast, particularly around artificial reefs and wrecks. The warmer months, from late spring to early fall, are generally considered the best time to target them, as they move closer to shore to feed. Focus on areas where baitfish congregate, and use heavy tackle to handle these powerful predators. Chartering a boat with an experienced captain who knows the local waters is highly recommended, as they can pinpoint the best locations and provide expert guidance. Remember to handle these sharks with respect and prioritize their well-being by using appropriate gear and following catch-and-release best practices.
