The Destin Fishing Rodeo kicked off at the beginning of October and lasts throughout the entire month.  Anglers from near and far come to Destin and compete to hook the best fish in each category.  But, how can the kids get involved? 

The Rootin Tootin Rodeo Round Up is taking place this Saturday October 17, 2009.  Bring your children ages 12 and under to the Okaloosa Island Pier for a fun filled morning of fishing.  The event begins at 9:00am and finishes up with lunch on the dock at 12:00pm.  It’s only $10 per kid and it includes the pier fee for the child and his/her parents, a t-shirt, bait, a rod and reel that they can keep and lunch.

Destin is definitely the place for families.  The Destin Fishing Rodeo and Rootin Tootin Rodeo Round Up is a perfect example of the spirit of Destin being passed on to the next generation.  Known as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” Destin has made its way into millions of people’s hearts.
