Experience the ultimate fishing adventure with Captain Fisher Charters! Whether you’re looking to reel in Spanish Mackerel and Kingfish or target Vermilion and Red Snapper, Grouper there’s a trip tailored just for you.

Join Captain Brian Gibson for an unforgettable day on the water. A lifelong angler, Brian grew up fishing the waters of Florida and has spent over 15 years fishing in Panama City, working on various charter boats before launching his own business.

Your trip takes place aboard Lil Sparkie, a 36’ sport fisherman powered by twin Cummins Marine Diesel engines. With plenty of space for up to six anglers, the boat is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Furuno electronics, including GPS, Bottom Machine marine radios, JL Audio stereo system with Bluetooth XM Radio so you can enjoy your favorite music while battling your catch. Plus, with air conditioning onboard, and a restroom you can stay cool and comfortable between all the action!

With years of experience fishing the offshore waters of Panama City, Captain Brian and his crew know how to put you on the bite. Expect to troll for King and Spanish Mackerel, and Mahi Mahi, or bottom fish for Red Snapper, Grouper, White Snapper, and Vermilion Snapper.

All trips include rods, reels, Penn tackle, licenses, and lures—just bring your eats and drinks and most importantly your enthusiasm! And don’t forget, it’s customary to tip the deckhand 15-20% for their hard work.

Caught a lot of fish
5 Hour Beginner-Kids Bottom Fishing on August 28, 20254 adults
We are kind of beginners, but the crew’s guidance and instruction really helped us catch a lot of fish. The fact that the captain has a federal permit was a big plus; we were able to keep the red snappers we caught. This trip was the farthest out we have done. Definitely recommend Captain Fisher’s Charters.

Lucked up and had a great day to go out!
5 Hour Beginner-Kids Bottom Fishing on July 2, 20253 adults1 child
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, 20253 adults2 children
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!!
