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 23 foot 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.

    2 Hour Trip – Kids
    FREE Cancellation 3 days notice
    2 Hour Trip, starts at 6:30 AM
    US $375
    This trip is meant for parents with young children that probably can’t handle a 4 hour trip. It’s not a go all out hardcore fishing trip because of time constraints. We are successful on most trips, but there is a big difference between the 4 hour trip and the 2 hour trip. We typically troll for mackerel or fish with live bait for mangrove snapper at the jetties.

    On this trip, customers can expect to target primarily redfish and speckled trout, as many of the other species have migrated south for the winter. There aren’t as many inshore species to target during the winter months, but the action can still be excellent. The coldest days are usually the best this time of year, so don’t let the cold weather keep you from fishing. If we buy live bait $30 will be added to your trip. Feel free to message me about the current fishing conditions.
