Does anyone know what the conditions will be like in Destin this Friday for offshore fishing? I have a group going down for some party boat fishing and hanging out and know it's been windy lately.

Will it be a rough ride? We'll be out there for the socializing as much as the fishing so I'm hoping it will be a fairly smooth trip. Any info is appreciated.

I'll see if I can call some buddies down there who live and fish there. Will report if I hear back from them.

Thanks for the info. We'll be down for a bachelor party so it was something to do but also more of a comradarie trip instead of top notch fishing.

If it's going to be a bumpy 6 hour boat ride we may want to reconsider.

Well as anyone here can tell you forecast can change very quickly, but i would be leaning towards plan B if I were you guys.


You may want to thank Mother Nature for keeping you off that "Party Boat" anyways.

I'd go with something else if that doesn't change. That's the thing with fishing offshore, it's hard to plan a trip more than a few days in advance.....especially in the spring.

Party Boat fishing isn't my first choice but we didn't want to shell out a couple thousand for a private trip.

Now thinking of a good plan B.

Strippers and blow is always a good plan B.
