Review summary
These summary reviews were generated by AI based on recent reviews
Wet Lines Fishing stands out for its captains' ability to quickly locate fish, provide hands-on instruction for families, and deliver non-stop action with a variety of catches.
While the charter prioritizes fishing action and family engagement, guests should be aware of limited shaded seating and occasional need to bring their own bait.
What Guests loved
Keep in mind
  • Captain consistently puts guests on fish within the first cast, maximizing fishing time
  • Trips feature non-stop action with multiple catches per hour, including opportunities to catch species like shark, redfish, and catfish
  • Crew provides patient, hands-on instruction for young anglers and keeps lines baited, making trips family-friendly and efficient

4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 22, 2025

As an avid freshwater/tournament angler, this trip far exceeded my expectations and was the most fun I’ve had fishing in a long time. We booked a morning birthday trip with Zach at Wet Lines and had an AWESOME day - my wife caught a fish on her first cast and the catches never stopped. We caught 8 different species (sea trout, crevalle jack, mangrove snapper, redfish, lady fish, grouper, flounder, and catfish), hooked up with a huge shark and a big stingray, had dolphins and manatees swim all around to the boat, and landed tons of fish and lost more than we could count all by 10:30am. Zach was kind, entertaining, and very knowledgeable, and made the trip an absolute blast. I appreciated that he was quick to move locations if there were no fish in an area. To top it off, he cleaned our fish and recommended a local restaurant for us to bring our fish to, which made for the best fish tacos we had all week. You will not be disappointed, and we will absolutely book with Wet Lines Fishing again if we’re in the area!!

4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 31, 2025

We recently had the pleasure of booking a fishing trip with Wet Lines Fishing Charter with Captain Zachary George, and we couldn’t be more impressed!! I was excited to take my visiting nephews out for a memorable Florida fishing experience, and that is exactly what we got! Within the first fifteen minutes, we were already catching fish. Captain Zachary was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and didn’t hesitate to accommodate any special requests we had. The boat was clean, with plenty of room for everyone.The Captain also provided a cooler with ice, cold water and space for our items. One of the standout parts of the experience was once the trip was over, he offered to clean and fillet the fish we caught. We knew there were a couple of local spots that would cook the fish but we had no idea where to start, so he recommend a great restaurant and even how to order it! It was fantastic. Wet Lines Fishing Charter with Captain Zachary George is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

We had a great time on the water today with Captain Kyle. He was very chill and down to earth, and he really worked his ass off trying to get us some fish. We jumped from spot to spot which we liked when things started to get slow and we really appreciated that he kept us out a little longer than scheduled to try to catch some bigger redfish. The other staff at the dock were super friendly as well, and we definitely got an overall good vibe from Wet Lines as a whole. We can’t wait to book another trip and definitely want to bring our son here for his first charter. Thank you so much to Kyle for an awesome day!

My dad and I did a four hour trip yesterday morning and HIGHLY recommend booking with Wet Lines! Zack was our captain and he was great (and honestly, all the staff were so friendly!) We did both inshore and offshore fishing. We caught SO MANY fish we couldn’t believe it. More fish than we could even justify keeping! He was great about teaching us techniques and giving us lots of tips and tricks for fishing on our own back home. He even gave us a great local restaurant recommendation that cooked our fish for us, and we had a feast for lunch! It was by far the highlight of our trip to Florida and we hope to book another charter soon!

My son (12 years old) and I had Zach for our trip. He was super kind, very helpful, and had a very extensive knowledge of where to go for ideal fishing spots. He communicated well as to where to meet and find him. We have used other fishing charters in the Panama City Beach area and this one with Zach was light years better all around. Thank you kindly Zach!!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Fishing has been my entire life ever since I can remember. It's how my family spends most of its time together, and because of this, I was taught at a very young age. For generations, my family has been passionate about saltwater and freshwater fishing. So much so, that I even have close family members who have invented and patented various types of products specifically for catching fish! I have made fishing a way of life, and I am proud to be able to share that with others.
