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.

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!!

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.
