Possibly headed to Destin in the near future. Curious on any fly fishing guides that might be worth checking out as well as deep sea fishing. Anything nearby (2-4 hours away) worth checking out. Any beach tent camping areas that are worth staying at. We've found a couple of condos that we are interested in.

Thanks in advance

Not sure about fly fishing. Deep sea, check out harbor docks, right next to the big condo at the Bridge. Plenty of charter and party boats to get on. Theres a decent campground north of Destin in Niceville. Fred Gannon State Park

Love Fred Gannon, nice little camp area.

Blake Nelson works miracles inshore, bet he can get you on some specks to snag on a fly line

Brand new indoor range/ GS just opened up in Gulf breeze across from the zoo. I like shooting there in the summer months.

Destin Guns has a decent inventory but is overpriced.
Enjoy the summer traffic on 98....

Hopefully will avoid some traffic as we won't be coming down until the second week in September. Thanks for the recommendations so far fellas

There's a Orvis store in San Destin. Also, Olde Florida Outfitters too. Both of them can turn you on to some local fly fishing action.
