Hurricane Charters Guide Service
Hurricane Charters is a light tackle and fly fishing professional guide service operating in the Panama City Beach area. Come explore the pristine and beautiful bays, bayous, and backwaters of the area with Captain Eric Nelson as your guide – an extremely passionate angler with over 40 years of experience, both offshore and inshore.
Your fishing platform will be a 2023 19’ East Cape VHP powered with a Mercury 175 HP outboard. This rig strikes a good balance between speed, seaworthiness, and the ability to fish skinny water. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 3 adult anglers. High-quality rods and reels will be provided, as well as fishing tackle, licenses, ice, and bottled water.
Trips can be geared towards the expert and novice alike, and my first priority is to create a fun and relaxing angling adventure. You’ll primarily be using artificial lures, as they make the chase more challenging and the catch more rewarding! As a result, anglers should have some experience casting/using open-face spinning tackle.
The primary targeted species will be Redfish and Speckled Trout in the bays and marshes. We will generally be fishing water less than 5’ deep with a variety of lures including topwater plugs, spoons, jigs, and swimbaits. Sight fishing along the beach during the cooler months is also an option with the proper conditions and presents opportunities for some pretty nice Redfish. Want some shots at one of the most exciting and challenging game fish around? Tarpon trips along our beautiful beaches will be offered during the peak migration (June and July).
Fishing will be catch and release only to ensure the continued health of our inshore fishery.
The Emerald Coast is a beautiful place and there is an abundance of wildlife both above and below the waterline to marvel at. Don’t miss this opportunity for a truly rewarding and enriching outdoors experience – come fish with Hurricane Charters!
