Great Experience for the family!
5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling on June 24, 20254 adults

We had an amazing experience with Captain John in PCB! He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made sure our whole family had a great time on the water. He was especially attentive to our youngest, taking the time to help them every step of the way so the rest of us could relax and enjoy the trip. Thanks to his guidance, we caught red snapper and beeliner, and made memories we’ll never forget. Highly recommend Captain John for anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing charter in Panama City Beach!

Great Experience
5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling on July 14, 20242 adults1 child

On our trip it was me, my stepson, and my father in law. We started the day and the first two hours were very tough with no bites. Captain moved us to a number of different spots and we could see fish but they just wouldn't bite. We moved to another spot and caught one then ran 3 miles down and got into a bunch of fish. We caught a mixed bag of keeper fish. Caught a bonita, tiger shark, and some more species. Captain didnt quit working for us all day until we got on some fish. We had a blast and my stepson said if we go fishing again he only wants to go with Reel Therapy. Highly recommend!

Good Trip, even though weather didnt cooperate
5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling on June 29, 20254 adults

John was on time and took us to a few good fishing sites. Weather was kinda crappy, but we got 5 good size snappers and tossed back some smaller grouper. Enjoyed the day., even though we had to call it a couple hours early. John was safety conscious and got us back to shore before it got ugly. Would recommend him again!

We had a great experience with John yesterday! We were able to catch so many fish and my husband caught a shark! From beginning to end it was more than we could have asked for. Definitely a must charter if you are wanting a more personalized experience. John was super knowledgeable and awesome at what he does. Highly recommend!
