Destin Fishing Rodeo · October 1–31, 2026

The Rodeo for people who don’t fish

For 78 Octobers, Destin has turned its harbor into a month-long fishing tournament. You don’t need a boat, a ticket, or the first idea how to fish. The best part happens on the dock, every day, for free.

Make an afternoon of it

The harbor boardwalk runs right past the scale. Food, drinks and a place to sit are all a short walk from where the fish come off the boats.
