I'll be vacationing in Destin in a few weeks and have this (stupid, I'm

less than a full day to indulge this fantasy. I would appreciate any
information/advice from how to pick a reputable charter service to whether
the
Destin area offers this kind of fishing. I'm afraid that I might be dreaming

a multi-day, deep sea expedition which I just can't schedule, and if so I

I need to be told so.

You should be able to find shark off of Destin with little effort. I'm
not sure about mounting one. Be certain that you have a charter that
knows the rules as many shark species are protected (for good reason).

Before you kill the shark make sure you can afford to mount it; been a
while but I think prices can be from $3 - $4 an inch (more? less?). You
can actually get a good picture then have a replica mount made but these
are not cheap either.

An afternoon of fishing with a good charter should put you on sharks.

Good Fishin'
