Great day of bay fishing

“Off Season” Bay fishing on November 19, 2025 • 2 adults

Great experience going out bay fishing with Capt. Michael. He was very professional and courteous and had a well organized and clean boat with great fishing gear. My wife and I caught some nice speckled sea trout and a redfish. He also cleaned the fish for us. Overall, a great experience and would definitely go fishing with him again.

Sons birthday trip

Nearshore Coastal 5hr on June 30, 2025 • 2 adults

Capt Michael was amazing and waited out the rain with us so my son could have a great birthday out on the water. He was very patient with both of my kids 11 and 6 and they loved every minute of being out there. He also put us straight on some fish and we caught our limit of reds and had a great birthday lunch. Would definitely recommend and plan to book with him again in the future

Great Trip

Inshore Bay 4hr on August 31, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

Captain Mike was great. The morning started off a little slow but he continued to find fish. My wife, kids, and I had a great time. I recommend Capt. Mike for your next trip to Panama City.
