    Fun time fishing!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on September 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Ryan was awesome. He’s very knowledgeable, super friendly, and helpful in every way. We had a great time with him and caught a bunch of spotted sea trout & redfish. We will definitely hire him again when we’re in Panama City.

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and I had an amazing fishing journey with Captain Ryan who gave us a much different experience than traditiiinal ocean trolling or bottom fishing. This might be my favorite new way to ocean fish! Best part was when my son battled a monster Redfish on light tackle for at least 6 minutes. Great memories today!

    FIRST CAST LANDED MY FIRST FAT REDFISH!

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore on December 30, 2025 • 2 adults

    Had a wonderful time with Capt. Ryan, he knows his stuff. put me on redfish in the 5# class right away. caught nice fish all day no messing around he is the real deal don't pass up the chance to fish with him! This is real backwater shallow fishing at its finest. The captain put in the effort to have the best available fresh live bait big bull minnows ready to go on the boat, and it made all the difference.

    Sightfishing brackish estuary for Red Drum and Spotted Sea Trout

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on January 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    New Years day, 65 and sunny 🌞 Spent 4 hrs with capt. Ryan Lemoeux in shallow, protected tidal flats. He had good local knowledge and recent outings so knew where the fish were and had multiple live bait types ready. My gf and I enjoyed the outing and would do it again.

    Great Captain and Great Experience

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 26, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Ryan put us on some big red fish right off the bat, very knowledgeable about the waters, our red fish were to big to keep, but he stayed 30 minutes after our time was up to make sure we left with our Red Fish that fit in the slot!!!

    Weather conditions created a challenging day of fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 9, 2024 • 2 adults

    Due to the weather conditions, the water was much higher than normal and Captain Ryan still was able to get us on some fish. Besides being extremely hot the trip was still memorable.

    Great Trip!

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore on September 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Ryan took us out last minute after our original Captain was forced to cancel. Ryan got us on Reds and Trout quickly, knew the water like the back of his hand, had deep knowledge of the local area and most importantly was very friendly and professional. We were on fish for the majority of the day, took home some keepers and had a blast. We will definitely be back to the area sooner rather than later and will be booking with Captain Ryan when we do!

I was born and raised in Southport, FL, right on the water on Fanning Bayou near the head of North Bay. Come from multiple generations of fishermen. Just a good ol' boy who knows what he knows and loves to fish and share my passion for it with others. I've spent the better half of 25 years learning and crafting knowledge to provide you with an interactive, fun, and professional trip!
