As we get ready to kick off the 78th Annual Destin Fishing Rodeo - Destin, Florida on the docks at AJ’s, there’s one thing we’re always especially excited about — getting kids hooked on fishing and keeping the fishing tradition alive!

Through AJ’s & Kids on the Coast Foundation, every kid who weighs in a fish during the Destin Fishing Rodeo goes home with a Zebco rod & reel of their very own! 🎣❤️

We’re so proud to be part of this incredible community and the Destin tradition that has brought generations together through fishing.

Here’s to making memories, passing down our love for the water, and keeping our fishing heritage alive for the next generation!
