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.
