5 Hour Beginner-Kids Bottom Fishing on July 2, 2025
Nice size boat for 2-6 people. We did 5 hour beginner bottom trip and grandson (6) had more fun on the ride and playing with the bait fish then fishing. He did reel in one squirrel fish. The 3 adults had a great time. Caught 3 nice red snappers, 1 nice grouper and lots of vermillion snappers.

5 Hour Beginner-Kids Bottom Fishing on July 11, 2025
We had a great time and caught plenty of fish to take back. Our party had 2 kids (first time deep sea fishing) and they had a blast! The crew kept us on the fishing spots and our lines were constantly baited. 5 star crew and fishing experience, no doubt!!

5 Hour Beginner-Kids Bottom Fishing on July 17, 2025
We did the 5 hour, and it was the perfect amount of time. They got us on the fish and they all were super skilled. The Master Baiter, Andon was awesome and took care of us and always had our poles ready to go.

I grew up in Panama City so fishing quickly became a hobby for me. I realized that I had a proficient skill set for fishing these waters so I decided to turn my hobby into my profession where I could share my knowledge and skills with customers to ensure they make memories that last a lifetime! Let's go fishing! My preference is bottom fishing for Red Snapper, Grouper, and Vermillion Snapper.
