Catching GIANT Bass is Destin, Florida 

For sure. There are two gates into Sandestin one on the north side of the road and one on the south side. Go to the north side and tell the gate guard that you’re going to the Baytowne wharf or sunset bay cafe. From there you can park somewhere and walk out to the ponds. Just check it out on google maps so you can get an idea of where all the lakes are. If you go out on the golf course just do so in the evening cuz they’ll kick you off the course. It’s summer and the water is hot right now so make sure to fish slow. I was out there about 2 weeks ago and caught five bass all on a 3.5 inch swim bait on an underspin jighead reeled in real slow.

Absolutely. The resort where I was fishing is a great place to stay and there are lots of amenities right there.

Absolutely. Ive lived in the area for over 30 years now and although saltwater fishing steals the show around here, there’s always good bass fishing around too. We are in Florida after all.

Sweet. Enjoy your trip. There’s all kinds of ponds around the resort and since there’s been a lot of rain lately, the water level is up which brings the fish up shallow. I’ve had success lately with a black and blue chatter bait and a 3.5 inch swim bait on an underspin.

@@thebutlerfamilyadventures Thanks for the tips. I went to the store earlier and grabbed a bunch of black and blue themed worms chatterbaits; weedless jigs; frogs; swim baits etc. I should still have some underspin but will check out Cabeals in Destin just the same.

Correct. If you just let them know you’re going to the Baytowne Wharf (which is a shopping and dining area open to the public) they will let you on the resort and you’re good to go.

Sure thing. Seascape has a few ponds but most of them bump up against the golf course. You can be out there but probably wait to the afternoon or evening to have no one in your way. Seascape ponds have a lot of lily pads so be sure to have a top water frog or a good ol fashioned Texas rigged worm or lizard in Junebug color. Definitely get to the sandestin resort if you can. Huge bass in a lot of their ponds. Go in the north gate and tell them you’re going to sunset bay cafe and they will give you a parking pass. You’ll pass by a bunch of lakes along the road that are easily accessible. I have luck with chatterbaits, simple swimbaits on an underspin, or a top water walking bait or whopper plopper style bait. Most of the ponds have a lot of algae on the bottom so you can fish a senko style worm weightless to stay out of that. Check google earth and you’ll be able to see all the ponds you can get to.

Yeah, I think technically you are only supposed to fish Stewart and Golden Pond. I'm used to doing a lot of night fishing, stealth might be the word of the day. Sounds like Sandestin would be worth booking just for the fishing rights. Thanks again!!@@thebutlerfamilyadventures

I lived in Homestead. My dad was stationed at Homestead AFB so I fished all over south Florida. There are great largemouth and peacock bass in every canal and lake in the area.

No way man that’s no way to handle fish. I put all these back that I catch so the next person can enjoy a nice day fishing. Thanks for watching by the way. 👍🏼

You may be thinking of Stewart lake right at the seascape resort. This isn’t there. This video was shot at the Sandestin resort. If you look it up on Google earth, you’ll be able to see all of the lakes there.

@@thebutlerfamilyadventures I looked it up and there’s 2 of em is it the one next to the choctawhatchee bay?

@@noah_nguyen_ it’s all one resort but two sides. I usually go to the north side which is by the bay.

Which of the resort’s ponds have you had the most success? I’ve been able to catch some nice ones in the Horseshoe Lake on the beachside. Would like some advice/direction for which other ponds to hit up. Thanks

@@joechilders150 when I go to the north side, I usually park at the marina and walk across the street. The ponds on the number 7,8,9 holes of the Baytowne course are excellent. Most of the large fish in the video were caught there. Also if you park by the links golf course right out where you can see the bay, there’s a big lake there that has huge fish. It gets pressured a lot so they are difficult to catch and the water is super clear usually, but they are in there.

I'm down there on vacation n have find ponds but with no fish in em

I’ve caught fish in all the ponds in the resort. All of the fish in this video were caught on the Sandestin resort.

What’s happening Brayden.

fishing is allowed. It’s just catch and release.

So I just tried going there and wasn’t able to fish

did they not let you in the gate?

@@Damien-vj2wm when you go in the gate, tell them you’re going to the marina or Baytowne wharf. They will give you a parking pass and let you on in.

These ponds are on the Sandestin resort but anyone can access the resort. They have a dining venue called Baytowne Wharf so if you go there and park you can get out and walk around to the ponds. They are catch and release only. They also have a pier you can fish from in the bay which is brackish water.
