Whether you're an early bird or prefer a mid-morning start, these trips offer flexibility and non-stop action. You'll be targeting some of the Gulf's most exciting gamefish, including Red Snapper, Grey Snapper, and the mighty Goliath Grouper. Best of all, everything you need is provided – just bring your favorite snacks and drinks, and prepare for a memorable day on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

Your fishing adventure kicks off bright and early at 6:00 a.m. for the morning charter, or at a leisurely 10:30 a.m. if you opt for the afternoon trip. As soon as you step aboard Captain Justin's well-equipped vessel, you'll feel the excitement building. The calm, inshore waters of Panama City Beach are teeming with fish, and you'll be right in the thick of the action. With room for up to four guests, this is a perfect outing for families, friends, or even a small corporate group looking to bond over bent rods and screaming reels. Captain Justin's years of experience mean you'll be hitting the hotspots where the fish are biting, maximizing your chances of landing that trophy catch.

Fishing Techniques & Gear

On these inshore trips, you'll get to try a variety of fishing techniques. Depending on the target species and conditions, you might be bottom fishing with live bait for snappers, jigging for grouper, or even sight-casting to barracuda cruising near the surface. Captain Justin provides all the necessary gear, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. He'll show you the ropes if you're new to fishing, or if you're an experienced angler, he'll be happy to talk shop and share some local tips. The beauty of inshore fishing is that it's accessible to all skill levels – you don't need to be a pro to have a blast and catch some quality fish.

Top Catches This Season

Panama City Beach's inshore waters are home to a variety of exciting gamefish. Here's a rundown of some species you might encounter during your 4-hour charter:

Red Snapper: These hard-fighting fish are a favorite among anglers. Known for their bright red color and delicious white meat, Red Snapper typically range from 5 to 20 pounds. They're bottom dwellers, so you'll be dropping lines to structure and reefs where they like to hang out. The best time to target them is during the summer months when regulations allow for their harvest.

Grey Snapper: Also known as Mangrove Snapper, these crafty fish are a blast to catch. They're smaller than their red cousins, usually weighing 1 to 8 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and fight. Grey Snapper are year-round residents, so you've got a good shot at hooking into them any time you're out.

Goliath Grouper: True to their name, these massive fish can grow to over 800 pounds! While they're protected and must be released, the thrill of hooking into one of these giants is unforgettable. Goliath Grouper hang around structure like reefs and wrecks, and battling one on rod and reel is an experience you won't soon forget.

Summer Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. Catching them requires finesse and a keen eye. Summer Flounder are most active during the warmer months and are prized for their delicate, flaky meat.

Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, Barracuda are the thrill-seekers' favorite. They're often found patrolling near the surface, and watching one chase down a lure is pure adrenaline. While they're caught year-round, the bigger specimens tend to show up in the warmer months.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

What sets Panama City Beach fishing apart is the sheer variety of species you can catch in a relatively short trip. In just four hours, you might go from battling a hard-pulling snapper to watching a flounder materialize from the sandy bottom, to the heart-pounding excitement of a barracuda slashing at your bait. The inshore waters here offer consistent action, meaning even if one species isn't biting, there's always another option to keep your rod bent.

Captain Justin's local knowledge is a huge asset. He knows these waters like the back of his hand and stays on top of the latest fishing patterns. This means you're not just going fishing – you're going catching. And let's not forget the scenery. The emerald-green waters and white sand beaches of Panama City Beach provide a stunning backdrop for your fishing adventure. Even if the fish aren't cooperating (which is rare), you're still in for a beautiful day on the water.

Time to Book Your Spot

If you're looking for a fishing trip that packs a lot of action into a half-day, Captain Justin's 4-hour charters are hard to beat. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, these trips offer something for everyone.

Learn more about the species

Goliath Grouper

Goliath Grouper are the giants of the Gulf, growing up to 8 feet long and 800 pounds. You'll find them near reefs, wrecks, and bridges in 10-150 feet of water. They're most active in warmer months. Anglers get excited about Goliaths for the sheer challenge and bragging rights. These monsters will test your gear and your strength. Use the heaviest tackle you can handle - we're talking 80-130 pound class rods and reels. Big live baits like jack crevalle or stingrays are best. Here's the deal though - Goliaths are protected, so it's catch and release only. Fight them quickly and keep them in the water for a safe release. Pro tip: have a game plan before you hook up, because these fish can pull you right off the boat if you're not careful!

Goliath Grouper

Great Barracuda

Great Barracuda are the speedsters of the sea, growing up to 5-6 feet long. You'll find them around reefs, wrecks, and in open water from the surface down to about 100 feet. They're year-round targets but more active in warmer months. Anglers love 'cudas for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. These toothy predators will test your gear and skills. Use heavy spinning or trolling tackle with wire leaders - their razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono. Trolling with lures or live bait works well, or try casting topwater plugs for exciting surface strikes. Local tip: when a barracuda follows your bait, speed up your retrieve or jerk the lure erratically. This often triggers their predatory instinct to strike. Just be careful handling them - those teeth are no joke!

Great Barracuda

Grey Snapper

Grey Snapper, also called Mangrove Snapper, are sneaky little fighters usually in the 1-3 pound range. You'll spot them around docks, piers, and reefs in 10-100 feet of water. They're year-round targets, but fishing really heats up in summer. Folks enjoy catching Grey Snapper because they're abundant, put up a good scrap for their size, and taste great. These guys are smart - use light tackle and small hooks to fool them. Live shrimp is the go-to bait, but small pinfish work too. Here's a pro tip: chum the water with cut bait to get them fired up, then drop your line right in the feeding frenzy. Just be ready for a quick bite and set the hook fast - they're masters at stealing bait!

Grey Snapper

Red Snapper

Red Snapper are prized catches in Panama City Beach, typically weighing 5-10 pounds but can reach up to 35 pounds. You'll find them hanging around reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottoms in 60-300 feet of water. They're most active in warmer months from late spring through fall. Anglers love Red Snapper for their hard-fighting spirit and excellent table fare. Their bright red color and big eyes make for great photos too. To land one, use heavy tackle and drop your bait right to the bottom. Fresh cut bait like cigar minnows or squid works well. A local trick is to use a double-hook rig with a weight below - it helps get through smaller fish to the big ones. Just remember, these guys have sharp teeth, so watch your fingers when unhooking!

Red Snapper

Summer Flounder

Summer Flounder, or fluke, are odd-looking flatfish that grow to about 15-20 inches. You'll find them on sandy or muddy bottoms in bays and near-shore waters. They're most active in warmer months, especially fall. Anglers love targeting flounder for their tasty white meat and the challenge of hooking them. These ambush predators have both eyes on one side of their head and can change color to blend with the bottom. Use light tackle and drift or slowly drag your bait along the bottom. Live minnows or strip baits work well. Here's a local trick: when you feel a bite, don't set the hook right away. Give the flounder time to grab the bait and turn it - then reel down and lift the rod tip to set. It takes patience, but you'll hook more fish this way.
