B&B Charters offers you a great variety of fishing trips. You can travel inshore, nearshore, as well as offshore, visiting reefs and wrecks along the way. You can also go to the backcountry and explore its secluded waters. Come to Panama City Beach, Florida and give Captain Bryan Bishop a call. He’ll tailor the trip to your preference as much as possible, and will make sure that you have a great time on the water.

Your trip will start on a 22’ Cape Horn center console that can sit up to 4 guests. It runs on a 200 HP Suzuki engine and has all the navigation technology to quickly take you to the fish.

The captain uses both light and heavy tackle. You’ll be able to bottom fish, troll, spin, and jig for many interesting species. You’ll try to catch Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and many more. Kids are always welcome on Captain Bryan’s trip, so don’t hesitate to bring your whole family and have a wonderful time on the water. You’re free to either keep or release the fish you catch.

The only thing you should bring on your trip is some food and drinks. The captain covers you for all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait, as well as fishing licenses.

Captain Bryan and B&B Charters invite you on a beautiful day on the water.
